Forestry Commission Depot at Chirk

[gwernol]

The Forestry Commission maintained a depot at Chirk, on the site of the Glyn Valley Tramway station. It was operational from around the end of the Second World War into the 1960s (and possibly later). The depot served most of the operations in Mid Wales and held at least two locomotives, and a lot of jubilee track for creating temporary logging railways. I'm trying to track down a photograph of the depot for my forthcoming book on the Hendre Ddu Tramway. Does anyone know of any photos of the depot?

 

Many thanks,

Dan

Sadly not unless in WJ Milners book on the GVT, mine is packed up

 

Your book on the Hendre Ddu tramway sounds interesting, I recall 2ft gauge rails near the old station at Aberangell in the 1980s and running into an old shed as part of the system

 

I have a 35mm photo of this back in the UK

There was the narrow gauge Meirion Mill Railway at Dinas Mawddwy?
