    Another photo shows the final layout to good effect. Next step is complete the short extension to the rear so we can get the 5 x MK1 service set under cover at last.

    We have launched an appeal for the Conwil extension. This has been boosted by a significant donation by a generous donor and an offer to match fund pound for pound anything raised through the appeal.

    Delighted to be able to be able to offer a small bit of financial support. I was lucky enough to be Nellie's driver on the day we completed the track across Llywfan river bridge, led by the inimitable Paul V. Evans, and so was the first loco driver across the river since the dismantling trains!!!! Good luck to the first across bridge 10.

    Good luck! It strikes me that it would definitely be a good idea to say how much you're looking to raise and to offer some kind of benefits tier for donations. And some additional info like what length the extension is and what the plans are for Conwil station. I can only imagine it would encourage more people to donate!
