It's been a while since I've posted some Wales content and since I'm missing the place, let's have some little engine appreciation!

Posted @withregram • @sirsamfay Well here’s an interesting thing for Christmas. We have built a new cab for our loco Castell Caernarfon. The old one was just about to go in the skip last week. It occurred to us that someone might like it. So as it is Christmas we thought we would sell it to the highest bidder.
The proceeds will go to the Railway Children charity. They look out for and help street children the world over including children in the uk that run away from home. They help children at times when help is truly needed.

So the plan is….send your bid to me by personal message or email. The highest bid by midday on the first of January 2022 will win. However before you bid please remember that you will need to collect the cab from Boston Lodge and this must happen before the end of January. We can lift it on to a flat back truck.

The control desks are not included as they are going to be refurbished and reused.

Of course you may just wish to make a donation to the railway children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE...Although we aren’t running passenger trains at the moment, we are very busy with engineering trains. These run unannounced and may appear at any time, travelling at up to 20mph through cuttings and on embankments. Please don’t be tempted to walk along the railway, as you may have very little warning of a train, and very few places to get out of its way when it appears. ... See MoreSee Less

'Dawn over Harbour Station...'It's a crisp, cold and frosty morning in Porthmadog today, bringing back memories of this scene captured almost exactly six years ago...The sun rises majestically beyond the snow-dusted Rhinogydd mountains, but has yet to melt the winter-chilled glazing of frost that coats the ground and buildings - 08:20, 16th January 2016...#mondaymood ...
