Bobble Head Bean!!! The trains are running on time, but the arguments aren't. An unfiltered outtake from our visit to Swansea Railway Station on 24th March 2024, where father and son can't quite agree on the rolling stock (or anything else, really). Rail enthusiast banter at its finest. Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look from the Trainman Studios scrapbook!

Behind the Lens: Hunting the Class 398s Rig primed and battery checked. Caught mid-journey heading towards Taff's Well to capture the Class 398 testing runs for the channel. A proper behind-the-camera moment before the 45 minutes of trackside action got underway!
