Last Saturday we had a impromptu working party where we had 7 people and an average age below 30!
we only had 4 hours but we got a fair bit done considering we only had all in all 3 hours of work time excluding setting up and tidying
(1/5)
It's been a quiet year for us as far as working parties are concerned, but we are pleased to report that a band of volunteers have been on site at Cynheidre this weekend undertaking some housekeeping on 483008, ready for Santa Special season! – at Cynheidre, Wales
A throwback to March 2022; 483006 'Terry' basking in the sun at Cynheidre during the @llanellirailway March open day. Hopefully soon we will be able to get Terry back on public display, but for the moment she's parked a bit too far down the siding!

Unless that second illustrated platform is the old loop one. Though in that case why does it have a bus stop shelter on

I'd thought I'd start a series where I post the most exciting I find in our drawing archive as I sort it out.
This week
The Cab end of a 483 on the NSE paint diagram, but something seems a little off...
Here are some pictures of the cab on car 228 of 008 after a few of us cleaned it at the end of October which I forgot to put on here. Including the seat which hasn't* been reupholstered since it left Eastleigh. The cabs were painted white as well back then...
