What an impressive set of videos to capture the Great Little Trains of Wales! Some wonderful filming, top locations - and great research and planning for a first visit to Wales! I like the addition of all the background or historical information and attention to detail with the places names - and titles that offer intrigue like "African Garratts in the Land of Castles". I'll recommend to others. Great viewing. Dave Benjamin, DBLM Steam

Thank you so much Dave! I had been planning a visit to the UK in general and Wales in particular for many years, and I'm glad to know that effort has paid off. Hopefully I'll get another chance to hop across the pond sooner rather than later.

What magnificent locomotives they are, and the work to keep them working is fully appreciated. The somewhat damp scenery is not unusual, and is, of course part of the nature of a hilly country. What IS unusual, however, is the sight of these wondrous locos wending their way through the beautiful landscape. Thanks, SMS, for yet another gem!

I really enjoyed this video. As well as the trains it shows off the incredible scenery of North Wales.

Thank you! Eryri is a magical place.

These engine’s were built in the UK before going out to work in South Africa, they were built in Gorton in Manchester, the old Bayer Peacock factory (or what’s left of it) is just down the road from the area I live in.

Great write up. Great video. Thank for sharing this wonderful video. Beautiful locomotives and scenery!

Thank you very much!

Wasn't expecting you to expand out of the US. Definitely should check out some steam in Canada. Very nice content indeed

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

I've always been fascinated by foreign steam, the only reason I didn't do this sooner was because COVID struck as soon as I had the money. I'll definitely head North someday, I'd love to see CP 2816 or even the Royal Hudson if it ever steams again.
