The Welsh Highland Railway this year opens the final stage of it's 40 mile journey between Porthmadog and Caernarfon's - making it the UK's longest heritage railway. The train will meander some of the most breath taking scenery in Wales and it's hoped it'll bring a boost for tourism in the north west Wales area. It officially opens the final stage in April but Rachael James takes a trip to Rhydd Ddu having a sneak preview of what travellers can expect.
