about

"Garratts to Rhyd-Ddu" was a short film featuring two especially-composed Big Block 454 pieces - with Wasp synths, glissando guitar, whistling, and someone reciting the Fibonacci Series…
It was filmed by Colin Robinson on the Welsh Highland Railway between Caernarfon and Rhyd-Ddu in September 2006, and featured two South African Beyer-Garratt articulated steam locos - possibly the biggest narrow-gauge locos in Britain.
