A suitably Autumnal mountain range, for Snowdonia, full of browns and with the rather perilous track perched on top.
A close up view of the engine, pushing the carriages up the steep incline, appears on Gallaher "Trains Of The World" (1937) 23/48. The text on that tells us that "The Snowdon Mountain Railway is the only mountain railway in Great Britain and was modelled on the rack railways of Switzerland"
This National Park covers 823 square miles, and contains the highest mountain (Snowdon) and the largest natural lake (Llyn Tegid, or Bala Lake). And if you thought the Welsh language was dying out shame on you, for of the many hundreds of people who live and work within the boundaries of the National Park, over half speak Welsh.
