      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways have invited the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway to run a special train for its members over the Welsh Highland Railway following the WHHR AGM on Saturday 21st July, following successful spark arrestor tests at the weekend.<br />

The train will operate from Porthmadog WHHR to Hafod-y-Llyn and all seats must be booked in advance from the WHHR. <br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I hardly ever post (having nothing in particular to say most of the time) but I thought it worth pointing out a couple of interesting pieces of WLLR news deserving wider attention. In any case the railway deserves its own dedicated thread, which seems to be lacking.<br />
<br />
Firstly, SLR 85 is going on a national tour before coming home for eventual restoration.<br />
<br />
Secondly:<br />

&quot;The 2017 season will be the 54th in which the railway has been operated almost entirely by volunteers, overtaking the 53 years...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Did anybody else take the chance to get to the West Lancs light Railways last gala of the year? It was a fantastic day, with 4 steam engines out, including the visiting Howard from the Statfold Barn on only it&#039;s second public appearance, and Diesel freight trains. It was a fantastic day and a tribute to what can be achieved even with an extremely short railway! My personal highlight was the triple header with Montalban, Utrillas and Irish Mail, it was a little Super Power train of their own <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" />]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Over on an Irish model railway forum, the subject of the Foyle Valley Railway came up, and some folk want to get the message out to the larger heritage world about a possible closure of this site in Londonderry.<br />
<br />
I am not a member, nor am I involved with the FVR, but I said I would start a thread for those involved to find on here.]]></content:encoded>

My plan is to post about upcoming events and some of my photos from past event feel free to post you own. Here is just one of mine from the just gone Coronation Weekend Steam In Miniature Event, SBR No: 1 &quot;Harrogate&quot; (my loco on this day) pauses outside the Signal Box at Statfold Junction awaiting a train to take over.
