The two foot gauge railway is a clue, connected to the Llanberis Lake Railway. The Penrhyn Quarry Line is currently being rebuilt starting at Coed y Parc, Bethesda, I'm not sure how far it will run, but the Welsh Highland Railway was successfully rebuilt!  D)

Ok, how about this one. Where will you find this building in North Wales?

I'm sure I know this, I'll let others have a guess first!

...is it the fortification built by Llywelyn the Great, Castell Dolbadarn?. It looks like Cadw are renovating it if it is - if so, I hope they do a careful job!.

Not Dolbadarn, I'm afraid, Ludo. This building had an industrial use.

No one else seems to know so I'll say Parys Mountain on Anglesey

...and you are quite correct. It is on top of Parys Mountain, one of the highest points on Anglesey, at an altitude of 138 meters (450 feet) and can be seen for miles around. It is also the only remaining industrial windmill. Instead of grinding grain, this windmill was used to pump water out of the copper mine on Parys Mountain. As the photo shows, it is currently being renovated.

This is the Yard at the Snowdon Mountain Railway Station in Llanberis. The large flat wagon with white containers on it at the front of the photo, what is it used for? I might have to ban ME from answering this one, as I'm sure he'll know!

Not seen it myself but at a guess, would this be the means by which fresh water is conveyed to the summit cafe etc.

That will be on the cycle/coastal path between Llanddulas and Pensarn.  It has been like that for years.
