300 not out!
Heritage Railway is celebrating its 300th issue of providing comprehensive news coverage of the complete preservation scene. Founding editor Robin Jones looks back at that very first issue in May 1999… and the outcome of the developments that were predicted.
Slate Running
Built between 1832 and 1836, the Ffestiniog Railway served the slate mines of Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales for more than 100 years. Now a popular tourist and enthusiast destination, the railway has not overlooked its reason for existence – with its gravity train a significant part of its special events and draw for enthusiasts.
