Between 2013 and 2017 we produced five programmes featuring Fred Howes talking about his life on the Ffestiniog Railway. Starting as a starry eyed train spotter and progressing to Permanent Way supremo. The programmes were made on locations up and down the FR and Fred was in conversation with Sophie Fardell; a longtime volunteer and PW professional. Much archive material was used to accompany the stories.

Originally released as DVDs (still available) each programme covers a different area and a different era.

Episode one is all about how Fred came to be at the railway and his early days in the 1960s.

Rhwng 2013 a 2017 fe wnaethom gynhyrchu pum rhaglen yn cynnwys Fred Howes yn sôn am ei fywyd ar Reilffordd Ffestiniog. Gan ddechrau fel gwyliwr trên â llygaid serennog a symud ymlaen i oruchafiaeth Permanent Way. Gwnaethpwyd y rhaglenni ar leoliadau i fyny ac i lawr yr FR ac roedd Fred yn sgwrsio â Sophie Fardell; gwirfoddolwr hir-amser a gweithiwr proffesiynol PW. Defnyddiwyd llawer o ddeunydd archif i gyd-fynd â'r straeon.

Wedi'i rhyddhau'n wreiddiol fel DVDs (dal ar gael) mae pob rhaglen yn cwmpasu ardal wahanol ac oes wahanol.

Mae pennod un yn sôn am sut y daeth Fred i fod ar y rheilffordd a'i ddyddiau cynnar yn y 1960au.
