Drive a Steam Loco Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways 2024-05-08 | Every fancied trying your hand at driving a steam loco? We’ve got you covered with our exciting ‘How do Steam Engines work?’ workshop at Boston Lodge. During these workshops, you will discover the procedures used to get a Steam Train up and running, from lighting the fire right through to all the controls used to manage the locomotive itself! You will also get a chance to work with an experienced driver and operate the controls to move the locomotive yourself (and if you’re lucky, a chance to sound the whistle!).Book Now (fareharbor.com/embeds/book/festrail/items/460923/?full-items=yes) --- GYRRWCH INJAN STÊM… Ydych chi erioed wedi cael awydd rhoi cynnig ar yrru injan stêm? Os ‘ydw’ yw’r ateb, dewch draw i’n gweithdai cyffrous ‘Sut mae Injans Stêm yn Gweithio?’ yn Boston Lodge. Yn ystod y gweithdai hyn, byddwch yn darganfod y gweithdrefnau a ddefnyddir i gael Trên Stêm yn gweithio, o gynnau’r tân hyd at yr holl offer rheoli a ddefnyddir i reoli’r locomotif ei hun! Byddwch hefyd yn cael cyfle i weithio gyda gyrrwr profiadol a gweithredu'r rheolyddion i symud y locomotif eich hun (ac os ydych chi'n lwcus, siawns i seinio'r chwiban!).
