The Gwili Railway thread

Well done the loco crew and guard

 

I am well aware that things are very subject to change so if you can't answer this, it's fine, but maybe it's possible to answer via deduction based on when washouts/maintenance are planned etc:

We're down in Carmarthenshire in 3.5-4 weeks' time - which locos are currently expected to be potentially in service around then?

I won't be kicking off if the information provided here turns out to be incorrect!!

 

Moorbarrow is currently out for repair so as things stand will either be L150 or Haulwen.

L150 is in use at the moment. Difficult to say right now as loco allocation is being done slightly differently this year rather than the standard 28 day cycle for a washout.

message again on the week of the trip and I can probably be more accurate.

best wishes

Matt

 

No problemo, thanks for replying!

 

Work continues at Llwyfan Cerrig as an access is being created to Aberaeron Signal Box so that visitors can view the box.

 

It's getting there - WELL DONE everybody.

 

Well

Well done. I must pay you a visit again. The late John Morris, a Gwili volunteer and one of my former team would be well chuffed.

 

He most certainly would be. I've great memories of working with John.

 

Work ongoing on Barry 163. Seats are away at the Bluebell for making, while springs are off for new to be made. Bodywork in various stages of repair.

Taff Vale 220 also in the shed, mainly awaiting the return of door locks from the SVR and some painting.

GWR 216 is at Abergwili awaiting its turn in the shed, new doors to be completed and final beading etc.

Regards

Matt

 

Good to see all the great work being cone. I am desperate to see TVR220 back in passenger service.
