This article in the Daily Post may be of interest to Railway enthusiasts
What an 'absolute stunner' as father and daughter recapture Ffestiniog Railway's golden age
The 'curly roof' carriage was much loved by guards because it was, quite literally, a life-saver

Snowdon Mountain Railway train 'derails' on Yr Wyddfa
Services were halted after the incident in which no-one was injured on the Clogwyn Loop.     Thank goodness for that as the incident could have been much more serious

I came across this short video of the old railway line of Cwm Prysor and it made me realise what a wonderful piece of engineering this was.  It must have been one of the most picturesque train rides in North Wales

The Conwy valley line - Lein Dyffryn Conwy

Blaenau Ffestiniog to Trawsfynydd - Page 1
(this section of track is currently disused)
I came across this article and it might appeal to Railway enthusiasts.     There are some nice viaducts on this line including the one at Llan Ffestiniog.     There is also a very impressive viaduct at Cwm Prysor on the disused railway track from Trawsfynydd to Bala
