What this is
Brave the elements as they build their railway up to the peak of Yr Wyddfa. Players may be assisted by a train (though that's not always best) and they'll be able to collect essential materials from the Stock Yard. In Snowdonia players represent work gangs providing labour for the construction of the Snowdon Mountain Railway.
