the topham circus train ! cattle wagon design by @/OckeyMRR , thanks to @/railwaymanianet for printing out my lovely decals. The extra GUV made from a hornby mail car was inspired by seeing a DOWT one done up the same way.
The new layout is now fully wired and operational with trains running well on the new track, time to start adding and building the buildings!

Finally got my hands on a logging loco for a good price. Picked up this unpainted Rivarossi Heisler, it runs good but is a bit noisy. The mechanism is very interesting to look at too. Planning to paint it to something more than all black to make it nicer to look at.

On this day in 1951, we became the World's First Preserved Railway.
75 years ago a group of amateurs ran a train, it wasn't a very long train and it only went as far as Rhydyronen - but it became the starting line for the global heritage railway movement, kicking off the idea...
