Llanberis Lake Railway - August 2003

Running the services on the day I visited were former Dinorwic Quarry Hunslets 'Elidir' and 'Thomas Bach'.  Tucked away in the shed at Gilfach Ddu was 'Dolbadarn' apparently in working order, and the adjoining Welsh Slate Quarry Museum had Pen-yr-Orsedd Hunslet 'Una' in steam to keep everything company.
