I've posted a pic on the gala thread at https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/welshpool-llanfair-light-railway-autumn-gala-4-6-sept-2026.1426391/ It was a bit tricky to get all 4 in. Others may have managed better!

Just spent 2 days at the gala, which despite issues, was very enjoyable. Fridays double header to Welshpool was great fun. These are mostly from Friday, which seemed to offer more opportunities to both ride and photo. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Well despite yesterday's late running, I still had an enjoyable day. The WLLR really does know how to put on a show. Premier was certainly making its presence felt even when double headed with the diesel. Did also manage to get rides between 822...

We had some of this delivered to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway about twenty years ago, I think. I remember the pink ballast, but I don't think we had a lot, as I am sure someone said it came from BR as part of the Barnstaple to Exeter re...

lynbarn liked jnc's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
They have a Web-site here; the written content is mostly the usual useless marketing pfaff which could have been written by a particularly bad AI (Douglas Adams was clearly wrong about who'd be first on the B ark; the author of this lot would...

Mike, will a remote camera presence be maintained at that location, post-construction as a, you know- preventative measure?

Further post about the passing loop. Interesting quote from Phoenix magazine which answers many of the questions asked on this forum - May I suggest that you consider joining the supporters association which publishes this magazine.

lynbarn liked meeee's post in the thread WANTED 60lb Bullhead Track.
Double head and Bull Head are two different things. Double head is symmetrical in cross section and theoretically can be turned over. In reality it doesn't work like that. Replaced on the main line but there's still a lot in use in sidings. The...

Thanks Mark. With the way the country seems be going we're gonna need to keep up ongoing thorough reviews of security everywhere. Like anybody with properties, venues etc, along with little police time available to deal with theft and general...
