Welsh Doubleboiler Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotives UK.

This video was filmed on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway and Llamberis Lake Railway in August 2024, here we see a bunch of single and double boiler narrow gauge steam locomotives hard at work in Snowdonia North Wales. Quite different from a conventional steam locomotive, a double boiler steam locomotive has not one but two sets of boilers to gain extra power for hauling extra coaches up and down the steep mountain grades of wales, in fact these locomotive designs were basically utilized so that a second boiler would be facing the opposite direction from the first boiler to give the locomotive extra pulling power, but at the same time, the fireman had to shovel coal and boil water in both boilers, therefore so that he could gain enough extra steam to haul up and down the steep mountains. And for the driver locomotive was by directional so that he could go in either direction without having to turn around. With that being said, please back, relax and enjoy the video of Welsh Steam locomotives.
