    I remember there was a miniature steam A3 loco that ran along the sea front in Colwyn Bay that closed about 1970 or 1971, does anybody know where it went to? Also in Penmaenmawr where the A55 now runs there was a kiddies miniature electric train (class 71) that ran on an oval of track in the late 60s, anyone know if that still survives somewhere else?

    The locomotive at Colwyn Bay was a 10 1/4" gauge 4-6-0 built by Carland. A quick internet search reveals that it was last heard of at Bressingham in the 1980s.
