Than when it is busy. I think that's a good idea. If I did go in April, it would be pretty busy and I probably wouldn't be able to get the pictures I need for the backscene. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher9147 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Things have been a bit quiet but also a bit mad. The gwili has taken homeage to a class43 Hst125. Plans for some new carriage RU to be used on cream tea but also plans to start work on abergwili it self. For my model version of llc is still being planned as where I was doing the main track work is in a mess with builders doing some major work to the building. So been doing some maintenance to them,and working out what I have got. A new list to be done in due course. Also reuploading pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben B Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Looking forward to seeing how this develops! We did the Gwili for the first time this Easter, it was one I always wanted to visit as a kid when we went camping near Tenby in the 90's, but never got around to it. Over Easter we stayed with some friends at a holiday house in St.Davids so used the opportunity to finally ride the line. Really welcoming and friendly volunteers, and a pleasantly eccentric roster of stock too, from industrial tank locomotives and diesel shunters up to a modern diesel crane, and a HST power car! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher9147 Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Found out that the mail coach is Southern pride models from checking their website. While still clearing the area to store the layout. The stock is going out on public viewing at my model club open day at Swansea. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher9147 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Some of the stock managed to run but like most of us know we don't have any time to take photos which was a shame seeing stock on shed. Still planning the layout, as I might be able to add another station and shed but that is another story...... Watch this space 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
