The weekend has a whole host of highlights for visitors to look forward to including Vintage trains to Beddgelert, Victorian Trains, 1920s Trains, Goods Trains, x2 Gravity Trains on all three days, Evening Shuttles to Minffordd, multiple appearances from the Spooner’s ‘Boat’ and a Sunday morning line-up of the green engines: Prince, Merddin, Linda, Blanche, Moelwyn & Mary Ann, plus much more..!
For those who are travelling to the event by train, The Quarryman set will be coming down from Blaenau Ffestiniog on Thursday evening, connecting with the Conwy Valley TfW service.
