Peco Special Edition 00-9
Press Train Pack ~ Welsh Highland Railway
The Ffestiniog Railway, located in North Wales, is the world’s oldest
surviving independent railway company, founded in 1832. Originally built to
transport slate from the quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port at
Porthmadog, it was engineered with a unique narrow gauge of just 1 ft 11½ in
(597 mm), ideal for winding through the rugged Snowdonia landscape. Innovative
features included gravity-powered slate trains running downhill and horses
hauling the wagons back uphill.
In the 1860s, steam locomotives were introduced, making the Ffestiniog
the first narrow-gauge railway in the world to successfully use them. After
declining slate demand led to closure in 1946, dedicated volunteers began
restoring the line in the 1950s. Today, it runs as a popular heritage railway,
linking Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog once again, and is celebrated for its
pioneering engineering, scenic beauty, and remarkable preservation story.
These latest PECO train packs celebrate that legacy with attention to
authenticity and a passion for detail.
