Great Little Trains of Wales

Great Little Trains of Wales "Great Little Trains of Wales" is the registered trade mark of "Great Little Trains of Wales Ltd"

The Great Little Trains of Wales are a very special way of seeing some of the best scenery in the British Isles. All are narrow gauge steam railways and some have a history spanning well over 150 years. All of them have in common the charm of old-time steam trains with plenty of polished paintwork and brass. No two are the same and they all offer a unique experience of a bygone era.The special attraction of narrow gauge railways lies in their modest size compared with the main line ones and their leisurely speed gives time to take in some of the splendid scenery.
