    hi Tom

    not sure yet, probably a pause for breath! We continue to collect rail as opportunities permit which will allow us to extend the line in addition to carrying out renewals on the existing sections. Aside from that there remains much to be done at Abergwili after this phase including second platform and permanent buildings.

    regards

    Matt

    One plan will it be to change the colour of the carriages as the green ones could look better. I like the plan for the station

    If you mean the green ones with the red stripe, they’re owned or sponsored by (I think) Felinfoel Brewery, and that livery is their choice I think

    Just so happened that we needed a 5 car set which necessitates top and tail and we had 2 x steam locos available with crews so decided to put both out.

    Very attractive .... and that's coming from a Southern type! The design always puts me in mind of the rebuilt (but sadly long gone) ex- CM&DPR MW pair.

    Vintage carriages continue to process, meanwhile the RU is also coming together at Cranmore.

    Aberaeron Signal box work continues with cast iron guttering being attached.
