1944 built Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns 0-6-0 Austerity loco 'Welsh Guardsman is seen being prepared for a road journey from The Gwili Railway in Carmarthen to The Llangollen Railway in North Wales, where it will be restored to full working order. The loading and heavy haulage was done very efficiently by P H Antell & Sons Ltd

  • I think your videos are brilliant Bob very well done. I hope locos like 2859 are not torn apart for parts as the Gwili in a few years time may be able to take on a project like that with the necessary backers. I am only 19 and I remember the gwili from the age of about 5. Its slow improvement has been great to watch over the years and maybe one day we will see a manor on the railway again! ... Tom

  • @TtwoB Thank you for your kind comments Tom, that are greatly appreciated. Things are moving well at the moment Tom, with many and varied projects currently approaching completion. Much of the work is done over the Winter period, and where possible I capture some of the work to show what's going on.....Regards...Bob

  • Is there any news on Olwen's progress? I have heard they have started work again on victory? A steam gala of 4 of the railways steam locomotives would be fantastic! ... tom

  • @TtwoB Things are moving forwards, and as always funding is a major part of any work carried out, hopefully during the coming months things will start to happen...Bob

  • Would be lovely to see Welsh Guardsman painted in a double Felinfoel brewery livery to match that of the dining train. With the four dining coaches would really look the part!

  • @TtwoB It certainly would, and I'm sure Felinfoel Brewery would like it as well, but we'll have to see....Bob

see all
