Our first meeting garden railway meeting of 2024 (after our winter excursion on the Vale of Rheidol, taking in the workshop and museum) was extremely well attended, and thankfully the rain held off right through to the end of a long and enjoyable running day. The railway now extends almost all the way to what ... Read more
21.6.2024 16:43May ’24 Meeting at the Railway in the Valley of the MillOur second August meeting proved that the rain has resumed its regular attendance at our gatherings, although the wet weather does show off the fantastic model buildings in the village of Llareggub, with the puddles on the tarmac and the reflections in the shiny flagstones. We were also fortunate that the worst of the rain ... Read more
3.9.2023 10:07August ’23 Meeting at the Brockhampton and Umbridge RailwayFor our first August meeting we returned to the Rhos and Betws tramway, and the rain returned too.

28.8.2023 13:53August ’23 meeting at the Rhos and Betws TramwayOur July visit, on another (mostly) dry day, was to the Dyffryn Llynfi & Porthcawl Railway, a compact out and back with a terminus and a tight loop, packed with detail and humous touches.

20.7.2023 19:21June ’23 meeting at the Shearstream Light RailwayThere were perfect running conditions for the inaugural running session at the Preseli Mountain Railway, the first of the group’s June meetings. We were again lucky with the weather, particularly as we were almost as high above sea level as you can get in Pembrokeshire. A superb lunch was enjoyed, and running trains resumed. The ... Read more
30.6.2023 15:30June ’23 meeting at the Preseli Mountain RailwayOur May meeting took place on a beautifully sunny – even hot – day, at the end to end Railway in the Valley of the Mill, which climbs around a couple of metres to its current terminus (with further extension work currently under way). An intensive service operated, making the most of three intermediate station’s ... Read more
31.5.2023 08:17May ‘23 meeting at The Railway in the Valley of the MillOn a dry – and sometimes even sunny – day we assembled at the Hoffnant Valley Railway. With two independent running circuits, challenging gradients, and a picturesque and well thought-out quayside with sidings and passing loops, it is a line with huge operating potential. Three or four trains ran almost constantly – mostly 16mm scale, ... Read more
2.5.2023 20:08April ’23 meeting at the Hoffnant Valley RailwayAfter our Christmas meeting was comprehensively derailed, it was wonderful to be able to get together again to run trains on the newly revamped Lambak Railway. For the second meeting in a row not only did it stay dry, the sun even came out again (even more astonishing this time given the time of year!) ... Read more
1.3.2022 18:27February ’22 meeting at the Lambak RailwayFinally we were able to actually get together in an actual garden, and run trains together!

The R&BT tramway’s resident Double Fairlie has been named in his honour, and we ran a procession of ... Read more

7.10.2019 20:32Comment on July 19 Meet at The Fairwood Valley Light Railway by Simon WoodWhat a brilliant line, I love it. The cyclists better hope the barrier lifts though...lol. I like the way the line just meanders along through the foliage. It's a great looking line that is really worth a visit.....
