    Following the successful visit of D9521 last year, we are pleased to advise that we have secured a resident Class 14 Diesel for 2 years from March. This is also mentionned on the owner's website.

    http://www.andrewbriddonlocos.co.uk/the-news/146-plans2011

    No specific running dates at present, we plan a predominantly steam timetable this year but should 14901 be rostered for passenger turns (probably at short notice) then we will try and make it known.

    We are looking forward to working with 14901 and it's owner, and we also hope to be able to announce in due course that we have secured a steam loco visitor for the whole of 2011 as well, so there should be a bit of variety at the Gwili this year!

    Regards
    Matt

    As we have a Light Railway Order, max speed is 25mph but in practice we are slower than that

    We are concentrating on extending to Carmarthen at the moment, then the plan would probably be to go north. Im not sure about the coaches as im footplate.
