Originally built to transport slate from the quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port at Porthmadog, it was engineered with a unique narrow gauge of just 1 ft 11½ in (597 mm), ideal for winding through the rugged Snowdonia landscape. Innovative features included gravity-powered slate trains running downhill and horses hauling the wagons back uphill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1860s, steam locomotives were introduced, making the Ffestiniog the first narrow-gauge railway in the world to successfully use them. After declining slate demand led to closure in 1946, dedicated volunteers began restoring the line in the 1950s. Today, it runs as a popular heritage railway, linking Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog once again, and is celebrated for its pioneering engineering, scenic beauty, and remarkable preservation story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1 X  Kato 0-4-0 'Small England' 'Palmerston' Locomotive\u003cbr\u003e2 X Peco FR Bowsider Coaches - 1970s Red\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58525740466560,"sku":"PEC-GR1005-PO","price":199.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/GR1005_8e6c5144-0894-4142-a8bb-bfc8d9ce8b8a.jpg?v=1784901701","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/peco-gr1005-po-pre-owned-gr1005-welsh-highland-railway-palmerston-locomotive-special-edition-press-train-pack","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
