RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2014 We went last year for the first time and realized how much we had missed out on previous years shows. If you like diesel and electric this is a must and even if you are into steam then the layouts are still great to see. If you need a few pints then there are some great pubs in walking distance of the venue and station. Just a shame that we cant visit this year due to other commitments.

George Woodcock Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hello It is definitely Llwydd Town's last outing under my ownership. But fear not , it is not disappearing or going in a skip. Hopefully it will have a good send -off with celebrity guest operators in attendance. Bring it on. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
