Great Western Narrow Gauge

Narrow Gauge Railways of the Great Western Railway
What do you think of when you think of the Great Western Railway; Seaside holidays to the South West, Idyllic branch lines, Castles & Kings, Brunel's Broad Gauge. What about Narrow Gauge?
When the GWR absurd the Cambrian Railways in 1922, they took over two Welsh Narrow Gauge Railways; The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway and Vale of Rheidol Railway. In 1929 they purchased the Corris Railway.
We take a look at the preserved Welshpool & Llanfair, Vale of Rheidol and Corris Railways and Locomotives, including the two former Corris locomotives which now reside on the Talyllyn Railway.

This is the kinda place I would love to work when I get old. Beautiful scenery, fresh air, and machinery that is passionate to drive.

Great Western locos are awesome. Love their colours and unique designs.

[@tomlee9534]

I think Charles Collett copied the existing Davies and Metcalfe design they already had when they needed new motive power. Cool video. Some of my favourites there.

Brilliant video hope you do more of these in future

13:38 What speed is the train doing at this point. Would this be it's normal maximum speed?

[@theextremeanimator4721]

You mean, 13:12? I can't measure how fast it is on both shots, though...

[@myriaddsystems]

What gauge were these lines?

[@paulschmidt9113]

Absorbed, right? But a well-done video!
