The Big Welsh Train Adventure Part 4 - Bala Lake Railway

The final instalment in our Big Wales Train Adventure series.
We visited the Bala Lake Railway in April 2024 and had a really amazing day out.
As well as the beautiful Welsh scenery and the lovely narrow gauge locomotive, Maid Marion, we were also able to go for a cab ride during the run-around at Bala Station, which was a very special treat for both Simon and dad.
We are counting down the days until we cab return to north Wales and ride some more railways!
We hope you enjoy our video.

What a fantastic video at the Bala Lake Railway Simon. I like the part when you and your dad Mick, got to go on the footplate of Maid Marion for a cab ride. It reminds me of the times when I had cab rides at the Puffing Billy Railway. Also, you braved the elements to ride in the carriage right behind the locomotive despite the rain coming in and seeing your excitement really was a wonderful thing to see, and I enjoyed seeing you bang the doors as well as help change the tail lamp. It's wonderful to see that you had a great trip in Wales. What other interesting rail movements did you see recently? I'm going on Melbourne's old electric train's the red rattler to see one of Australia's largest model railway exhibitions. It's really exciting, I can hardly wait! Keep your steam up Simon and you too Mick. Take care Kevig

Thanks for watching, Kevig. We were very lucky to be able to go for a ride in the cab and didn't mind getting a bit soaked. It was worth it! Glad you enjoyed the video. We've seen quite a few more diesel movements recently and should have another diesel report video coming out soon. In fact Simon is editing it right now! Hope you enjoy the electric train and the exhibition. All the best, Michael. (not Mick. I think Mick is the name of the other person who commented ;-) )
