Longing for @ffestiniogwelshhighland trains! There wouldn’t have been any trains running this time of year anyway I don’t think. There would at February half term but thanks to Covid restrictions and lockdowns I don’t see it happening this year. Booooooooo!!

But hey, I can hope for their return for the Easter holidays right?

Posted @withregram • @rebeccakitchin ‘Welsh Po Posted @withregram • @rebeccakitchin ‘Welsh Pony at Sheepfold’ - original watercolour, ink, acrylic and coloured pencil painting on 300lb rough textured Fabriano watercolour paper. I wanted to create something magical in this painting - this little engine, who throughout the ‘season’ of 2020 helped save the Railway by running the ‘Covid’ service from Porthmadog to Tan y Bwlch with the vintage carriages and bug boxes, where passengers would be separated in their own compartments. The original is offered for sale (I do have several interested parties) for £380 unframed and includes P&P to UK - with a £50 donation to the Linda fund. It is a large painting at 35cm x 52cm approx and can be professionally framed - collection only. I am hopeful to get ten limited edition double mounted and wrapped prints made at £75 each (including P&P to UK only at the moment due to Brexit 🙄) Please PM if you’re interested in a print 🙂 Please like and share 🥰 Diolch yn fawr ~ thank you ☺️

Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways

As another year draws to a close, it's time to bring out the traditional 'turning of the year' photograph. So much has happened over the decade since the original photo was taken, but nothing can compare to what has taken place over the past twelve months.

2020 started with expectations of a busy year, celebrating among other things the '150th anniversary of the Fairlie Locomotive Trials'. Little did we realise the trials we would actually experience within a few short weeks. Suffice to say plans were made, changed, abandoned and resurrected as we made valiant efforts to keep up with a constantly changing situation. We introduced new journey options, different catering arrangements and working practices to provide a day-out for as many as possible within the guidelines. Sadly though, despite our efforts, we end the year with no trains running on the F&WHR - and little prospect of trains running again until later in the Spring of 2021...

However, rest assured, trains will return - in all probability along similar lines to those we were able to run during the summer. We're busy ensuring locos and carriages are in good condition, maintaining our track and infrastructure etc so that we'll be 'ready-to-run' as soon as we are able to do so.

So, let's put 2020 behind us and look forward to brighter things in 2021. We're looking forward to the time when we can welcome passengers back to North Wales. Till then, may we wish you and yours all the very best for the coming year - take care and stay safe...

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda - Happy New Year from everyone at the F&WHR..!
