The locomotive worked trains will be headed by steam locomotive number 7 and the line’s diesel fleet (including number 11 with its Transylvanian links). Battery electric locomotive number 9 will be another locomotive in action, which has strong local connections, having worked in the slate industry at Aberllefenni.

At Maespoeth Junction visitors can see behind the scenes including progress on the construction of new carriages for the line and learn about progress with the construction of the next steam engine.
