Lost Engine Sheds – 6G Llandudno Junction | North Wales Steam in the 1960s
Step back into the fading days of steam in North Wales, as we explore the story of 6G Llandudno Junction Engine Shed — once a vital hub of railway operations in the region.
In this episode of Lost Engine Sheds, we journey back to the 1960s, a time when the sound of steam locomotives still echoed across the Conwy Valley… but the writing was already on the wall.
Llandudno Junction was more than just a depot — it was a gateway. From here, locomotives powered trains along the North Wales Coast, into the slate country of Blaenau Ffestiniog, and deep into rural branch lines that have long since disappeared.
But like so many sheds across Britain, 6G could not escape the sweeping changes of the era. Dieselisation, modernisation, and the reshaping of the railway network led to its closure — leaving behind only memories of smoke, steel, and the men who worked there.
In this video, we uncover:
🚂 The history and importance of 6G Llandudno Junction
🚂 The locomotives that called it home
🚂 Its role in North Wales railway operations
🚂 The reasons behind its closure
🚂 What remains today
This is a story of a lost railway world — one that disappeared within a generation, but still lives on through film, photographs, and memory.
