Leisure boats in the harbour which was once the export hub for Welsh slate.

Everybody is entitled to a buttie break

Aboard the preserved locomotive Palmerston during the Bygones Weekend Special event. ‘Palmerston’ is named after Viscount Palmerston - a Liberal Prime Minister - and was one of the original four 0-4-0 engines built by George England in 1863/4. She was constructed with a domed boiler, benefiting from the trials of the first batch of these locomotives delivered. In 1880, she was then fitted with a saddle tank to improve adhesion.

Rusty rails at Porthmadog Harbour station

The winter interlude has allowed the Ffestiniog Railway to undertake a track-renewal programme between Boston Lodge and Minffordd, so no trains have been running between Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog. The station building is undergoing a facelift. Moel-y-gest forms the backdrop.
