Vale of Rheidol Visit

The local heritage railway, the 'Vale of Rheidol', has had a lot of work done recently with new engine sheds among other developments - and today, they had a free open day for the local community to see the results.

The interior of the shed was a really lovely space, with the original ironwork in the roof, and a new wood block 'parquet' type floor - not to mention the engines themselves, all painted and polished.

And the first class carriages - so beautifully fitted out and decorated, with paintings of marine wildlife on the ceilings, colourful upholstery, and polished woodwork.

Really interesting to chat to some of the staff too about where the engines had come from, and plans for the future - a first class trip is definitely something for the to-do list!
