Part I - Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu
Part II - Rhyd Ddu to Porthmadog
Between them these 32 page, soft cover, A4 books describe to today’s traveller aspects of the old line from an historical perspective. The books are brilliantly illustrated with old photographs that identify various features along the line which may be observed from or near the train. Written by Welsh Highland expert John Keylock, these books are an invaluable companion to enthusiast, historian or traveller alike. Both include an easy-to-follow, double-page plan, drawn by Lewis Esposito, covering the route described in each book.

£6 post paid.
The Buffet Car
The buffet car was the first vehicle of its type on any narrow gauge railway in the country. Converted from an original North Wales Narrow Gauge coach it was sold along with the rest of the stock in 1942. That it survived was one of those serendipitous events which characterise railway preservation.

Here Peter Liddell covers every aspect of the vehicle using photographs and drawings. There is also a full sized reproduction of the original 1942 sale document which has also survived.
