[@gwaithwyr]

I was so sorry to miss that event due to eye operations but watching this video was certainly the next best thing. Wonderful scenes, pictorial compositions and technical quality. Many thanks and well done, Tom.

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Thanks Pete; it's good news for me; Tom does all the hard work and I get to watch the trains instead of peering into a camera! Cheers, Dave

[@TrainFan_95]

Great video, lots of amazing trains.

[@nobnobvideo]

You filmed a lot of action that I missed. Thanks for the video. I stood together at Boston Lodge, filmimg the 'boat'.

[@mamodfan]

Fantastic video, very nice locations and great camera work! :) I was brakesman on the slate empties that day, spotted myself at 3.55 and 11.40 :-)

[@galbeadon]

This is an excellent video Tom, well done and keep up the good work.

[@delanoajohnson]

Love the depth of field in this one.

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Agreed! And thank you Matthias for your kind comment. Dave

[@JamesandPeter]

Very nice video and thanks for uploading, you can see me at 1:52 lol. You was filming quite close to me on the first few shots. Regards JamesandPeter

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Thanks Nathan!

[@Llanwellyn]

Second Mamodfans comms. Great video and camera work, well presented thanks.

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Thanks; we'll look out for you next time! Cheers, Dave

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Thanks for your comment, John. No, I don't think so; the track is in good condition and the guys know their stuff. Dave

[@robnewman6101]

You're a really useful railway.

[@peteknight8458]

You.d better watch your back. Tom's getting quite good at this!! Seriously though a very good film. Regards Pete.

[@TomandMattWaldren]

HI Steve it's called 'The Boat' and is a replica of a gravity trolley that existed in the 19th century. Pretty bizarre, eh? Thanks for your comment. Dave

[@Isochest]

Wind powered traction. I've seen it all:-)))

[@nathan83699]

Brillant video tom

[@is1943]

Excellent, well done.

[@johnmiddleditch3656]

Excellent video. Do they have many derailments with the slate trains? They certainly like to zoom about with them. Here's to the next one hundred and fifty.

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Thanks a lot! Lucky you - would love to ride the gravity train, numb bum, deaf ears and all...! Dave

[@Jamesfan143]

Was there a breakaway at 9:48 :P

[@TomandMattWaldren]

Hi; not a breakaway. The whole line is built on a slight gradient. This is a gravity train. From 1836 until the 1930's, these trains were the norm. In the days before steam was introduced horses hauled the empty wagons back up to the quarries. Amazing eh?

[@novuutheneolf]

uh XD

[@robnewman6101]

You're a really useful engine.

[@jetteraismabash4186]

What's that wind powered cart called?

[@TomandMattWaldren]

It's called 'The Boat' and is a recplica of a 19th Century vehicle that existed. Crazy huh?

[@hughmcnab7671]

Cutting Edge Video

[@careycheshire8794]

A good video but why can't some of these camera 'operators' follow the engine through instead of waiting for all the rolling stock go by, or are their camera's in a 'fixed' mode? I don't have any problem's and find it adds more interest in viewing the result after.CAREY CHESHIRE

[@matthewthemuffin1606]

6:12 . Lol

[@Scotsman60103]

I know at least one George England class was

[@hartleymartin]

That train of gravity/brake controlled wagons makes me wonder. I know it was done all the time in the old days, but I wonder how on earth Health and Safety would ever permit it today!

[@TheSkyWright]

It's because it's still the original Ffestiniog railway company so they have the same safety regulations as when it opened

[@aloisius1950]

BELLO !!* * * * *

[@Scotsman60103]

?????????? I though Princess was cut up for scrap years ago
