As mentioned in the last post, we also paid a visit to the Vale of Rheidol Railway whilst we were in Aberystwyth. With us being regulars now with writing for Garden Rail. we're constantly on the hunt for subject matter for articles, and where better than a fantastic, relatively-new museum?
The locomotive on the train, no.7, was looking pretty glorious in the Spring sunshine.
And inside the railway museum, with a very interesting selection of subject matter, including the rather lovely old "Fire Queen". This used to be exhibited up at Penrhyn Castle, it's nice to see it here for a while (before it moves to a new home at Llanberis).
We've a kit of this wee thing, so more of this on the model blog later in the year...
Most of the straightforward reference pics are over on the model-blog, so here's some of the more arty close-ups...
Back outside; we're planning to do a proper ride on this railway at some point later this year, so hopefully more pics to follow.
