The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is one of the world famous Great Little Trains of Wales, and has now been operated for longer as a preserved railway than it was as a part of the national rail network. This book, compiled by the railway's archivist, uses photos from pre-preservation days as well as images from throughout the preservation era to create a historical journey through the lifetime of the railway. Many of the photographs are previously unpublished, and include unique views which can no longer be replicated.
