Welcome to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway in #Porthmadog #Cymru #Wales in 2026!
We're a #narrowgauge railway to Pen-y-Mount.
On the way back we stop at Gelert's Farm to tour the engine sheds & museum. Café & bookshop.
We're one of the @Gr8LittleTrains @Wales_On_Rails 🏴
Here's a picture of restored #WW1 #narrowgauge #Baldwin 10-12-D number 794 built in 1917, aka 'WHR 590' at Pen-y-Mount.
It's the October half-term holidays and we're running steam on Wednesday and Thursday. Come and see us in #Porthmadog #Cymru #Wales 🏴

Exciting #narrowgauge model railway news.
Earlier this year we commissioned @PECOstreamline to produce some NWNGR 4-wheeler carriages.
@RailwayModeller very kindly plugged them and they sold out!
The NWNGR had three.
So we're commissioning some more! For release in 2027. 🏴😉
#narrowgauge trains whatever the #weather at the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. 😲
And happy smiling passengers. 😃
'Liquid sunshine' as they say in #Wales #Cymru 😉🏴👍
It's the October half-term holidays and we're open. Come and see us.

Tourism supports an estimated 37,500 jobs across the region
So when you book that cottage, eat at that pub, or hire that kayak - you're part of something bigger. Thanks for choosing North Wales ❤️

Glorious weather in Portmadog today, while enjoying lunch on the outside tables at the #WHR cafe, you can get up close to a 158. I’m really going to miss them, sightings of @tfwrail 197s have already been reported up the coast. Will a sub-class be created, ERTMS fitted?
