Trip on The Brecon Mountain Railway

Had a lovely day in Wales last weekend visiting The Brecon Mountain Railway. Had a trip on the No.2 Baldwin Locomotive which was built in Philadelphia in 1930. It’s like a mini wild west engine with the big light and a caboose! It is kept in beautiful condition by the team there. It’s a 90 minute return journey through the Welsh countryside and alongside a lake. They have quite a few engines so different ones work other days and there is a Steam Museum at one of the stations too. A very nice day out and well worth visiting 🙂

Lovely pictures! Welshpool born and bred me, so a soft spot for all the ‘Great Little Trains’. Thanks for sharing.
