The iconic Llanberis path provides a picturesque backdrop for this vintage mode of transportation, harking back to the days of the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. Step into history with British Railways' poster depicting a railway worker manually operating these magnificent machines, showcasing their power and craftsmanship. From Swanage Railway's Corfe Castle in Dorset to Union Pacific Class Steam Locomotive's Big Boy Class, these locomotives have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
