- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: As Charlie puffs his umpteenth cigarette we move to - a puffer train in Wales on this narrow-gauge Festiniog Railway. This is a railway that existed before the steam engine was invented when trucks took slate-loads to the coast by gravity and horses hauled them back. Now tourists keep this old-world railroad going and you can even get a glass of beer in the observation coach.
