Our station building in Caernarfon is home to the Welsh Highland Railway’s shop - which sells a wide range of gifts and souvenirs of the railway. Whether it’s your first visit to the railway or you’re a hardened enthusiast; whether you are 6 months or 60 years old - there’s something here for everyone.

We have a good range of quality branded clothing items from manufacturers including ‘Fruit of the Loom’ and ‘Jerzees’. All the clothes we sell are uniquely available from our shops and have embroidered WHR crests, or WHR logos, on them. The range includes brightly coloured children’s T-shirts, plus polo shirts, sweat shirts, rugby shirts and fleeces in both adult and children’s sizes. Also available are some very nice weatherproof jackets; the full range is illustrated on - and available from - our web shop.

We sell a good range of quality gifts and souvenirs to suit all tastes and pockets. We stock a huge variety of postcards of the railways and the surrounding area, plus related transport and nostalgia topics. We publish our own range of cards with fresh pictures of our trains every year so that you can always find a picture of ‘your’ locomotive to send home.

Children are well catered for with an extensive range of toys with a railway theme. We carry every ‘Take-along Thomas’ character toy and loads of other ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ merchandise. ‘Ivor the Engine’ is also making a comeback and we have an expanding range of memorabilia featuring ‘Ivor’ - including DVDs, Books, Pens, Pencils, Soft Toys etc. We also sell a ‘Spotters Guide’ and games to play on the journey too - in case the scenery is not enough to amuse some of our younger travellers.

If you need a box of fudge or something more interesting to take back home to give to Gran, or a neighbour, you will find something here to suit everyone’s taste. Don’t forget to treat yourself either - we sell soft drinks, sandwiches, sweets and ice-creams!

Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten that vital gift - or if you can’t get to the railway. Our Web Shop has been on line for over a year now and we’ve sent hundreds of parcels all over the world. You will find us at www.festshop.co.uk . It’s a great way to do all your Christmas shopping in one place.

We sell Books and DVDs about our railways but we also have a wide range of titles covering narrow gauge railways the world over. We also specialise in narrow gauge railway models with an emphasis on ‘009’ F&WHR prototypes. Our range is expanding all the time and includes items from Parkside Dundas, Langley Miniature Models, Chivers Finelines, Chris Veitch, PECO, ROCO, Bachmann, Fleischmann, Auhagen, Preiser, Gaugemaster, Wills, Ratio, Cooper Craft and John Fozard. These are available from the shop in Harbour Station and from the web shop.

You can contact us during office hours at the Porthmadog shop on 01766 516034. If we don’t answer straight away, it’s possible that a train has just deposited 200 people into the shop and we are busy serving them - so please wait a few minutes and try again. We are also happy to take orders sent to us by post, please include a daytime phone number wherever possible.
