Mortons Books  |  Steaming Through the Mountains
The narrow gauge Welsh Highland Railway, which in 2009 runs through the Aberglaslyn Pass, voted the most scenic view in Britain in a National Trust poll, has just scooped five national awards. Its engineer has been awarded an OBE.
It is now Britain’s longest heritage line.
The purpose of narrow gauge railways is to take trains through upland regions where normal-sized railways would be too costly to build. They negotiate difficult terrain in a comparatively cheap and cost-effective manner.
The bookazine is looking at classic British narrow gauge lines, telling the story of each of them. They include the Talyllyn Railway, which started the preservation movement in 1950.
The bookazine is by no means limited to Wales, although that is the location of the most famous British narrow gauge lines. To greatly broaden the appeal, we will be including English and Scottish lines, as well as the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, which was built by the British and still uses British locomotives.
