Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, Heritage railway museum in Porthmadog, Wales.
The Welsh Highland Heritage Railway stretches for one mile from Tremadog Road station to Pen-y-Mount Junction through Gwynedd's countryside.
The railway preservation efforts started in 1961 when a group of railway enthusiasts formed the Welsh Highland Railway Society to restore the original line.
The railway museum at Gelert's Farm Works displays artifacts and documents that showcase the development of narrow-gauge railways in Welsh industrial history.
Visitors receive day-long access to train rides, museum exhibits, and the miniature railway with their admission ticket, while free parking is available.
The railway station includes an operational workshop where maintenance teams repair vintage locomotives and carriages using traditional engineering methods.
