Plenty of activity at Bala Junction including scenes at Bala Town and the route to Blaenau.

Continue via Dolgellau and Penmaenpool to Morfa Mawddach.

North now through Barmouth and all stations to Portmadoc and Afon Wen with GW and Standard classes.

A quick visit to Pwllheli before continuing to Caernarvon via Ynys.

Then Bangor to Holyhead with a return journey on the Almwch branch.

Returning to Bangor and a visit to the Penrhyn narrow gauge system.

Eastwards and the Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog branch.

There is also a look at the Corwen – Ruthin – Denbigh line by DMU and archive film of the famous Land Cruise train via Afon Wen and Corwen.

Filmed mainly in colour from 1959 to 1966, a memorable record of the time steam reigned in this part of North Wales.
