Great Railway Eras
Ffestiniog in Colour
1955-82
by Hugh Ballantyne
The railway was an example to the world after double engines were introduced in Victorian times. The revival of this unique line was thus of immense importance and this prolonged task is recorded herein - 28 years of toil in impressive images.
Review:
'The compiler [Hugh Ballantyne], himself an accomplished photographer, has sourced a wonderful selection of 120 pictures from this famous narrow gauge railway's early years.... The photos of the deviation and the new and old Moelwyn tunnels are especially noteworthy.'
(The Railway Magazine, December 2012)
