  Scene showing the Snowdon Massif near Capel Curig, Caernarvonshire (Gwynedd), Wales   The Llanberis-Snowdon Railway.

Starting from Llanberis the narrow gauge railway winds its way up to the top of Snowdon with the single coach hauled by a little rack and pinion steam or diesel locomotive. There are 3 intermediate stations one of which can be seen just below the train.

The little steam locomotive and its single coach puffing its way to the top - I know the feeling!

Opened in 1884 this mountain railway has now been running for over one hundred years.
