Full description from the producer:

The Llanfair Train
This charming line runs through beautiful countryside, a mixture of woods and farmland, green and lush. Its true light railway nature means that it turns and twists and rises and falls on improbable gradients. Delightful little Austrian coaches with balconies allow a grandstand view of the line or the locomotive and the trip is quite wonderful.

The DVD takes you on a memorable ride up and down the railway. The goods trains that ran before the preservation era are recreated, along with shots from Galas-Many wonderful scenes that visitors don’t see are offered, both from the lineside and the footplate.

The real atmosphere of this excellent railway comes across in the video. Prepare for an hour’s viewing pleasure on the little Llanfair Train!

The Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway
Superb photographs are mixed with a carefully prepared commentary as we take you on a relaxing tour of eight miles of pure steaming pleasure.

This is a record of the railway for you to enjoy as the line enters a new golden age. The W&LLR is truly a great little train!
