    What a wonderful loco for the line she has been. Will she be missed matt? Always thought a pannier looks right at home on the gwili!

    Cheers

    Haulwen has arrived in the paint shop and the Ford diesel emerges after its repaint.

    Loco update - L150 is use on all dates up to Sunday 29th June and then “Haulwen” debuts fresh from the paint shop on Wednesday 2nd July. Usual caveats apply.

    This will be Haulwen’s first public trains since 2016 so a welcome return.

    regards

    Are the loco crews enjoying the new beast?

    It’s been a while since we had a vintage carriage update so here we go

    GWR 216 is starting to have the sapele beading fitted after the long process of making templates. Door locks are being modified to prevent closure of the door in the latch up position (and therefore not closing properly)

    TVR220 has emerged from the shed. Still some finishing to do and door locks also away for modification.

    Barry 163 has made it into the shed for the first time and will receive a cosmetic overhaul to the exterior while seats etx continue to be made off site.

    regards

    Matt
