The Welsh Highland Heritage Railway Hunslet 2-6-2T Russell and vintage train operated a number of Hertiage trains over the re-opened Welsh Highland Railway between Dinas and Rhyd-Ddu as part of the Centenary celebrations of the re-opening of the original North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway to passenger services.

The positioning run from Portmadoc was the first occasion Russell worked over the entire WHR main line between Portmadoc and Dinas since the line was closed in 1937. The coaches are replicas of original North Wales Narrow Gauge coaches dating from the 1880s to the early 1900s.

I was attracted to the WHR and volunteered for the Heritage Railway during the 90s possibly as a result of the apparent similarity to the Tralee & Dingle and Donegal narrow gauge lines.
