Situated in North Wales, the Welsh Highland Railway (WHR) is a 2ft gauge railway, or rather 1ft 11½in (597mm) gauge to be precise, that runs from Caernarfon to Porthmadog. At Porthmadog the Welsh Highland connects to the Ffestiniog Railway (FR) where it continues to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The NG15 №134 locomotive is owned by the Ffestiniog Railway Company that operates both railways and when restored it will be used on the WHR section.
