Exciting #narrowgauge model railway news. Earlier this year we commissioned @PECOstreamline to produce some NWNGR 4-wheeler carriages. @RailwayModeller very kindly plugged them and they sold out! The NWNGR had three. So we're commissioning some more! For release in 2027. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😉

Tourism supports an estimated 37,500 jobs across the region So when you book that cottage, eat at that pub, or hire that kayak - you're part of something bigger. Thanks for choosing North Wales ❤️ #northwales #gonorthwales #internationaltourismday #explorenorthwales

Glorious weather in Portmadog today, while enjoying lunch on the outside tables at the #WHR cafe, you can get up close to a 158. I’m really going to miss them, sightings of @tfwrail 197s have already been reported up the coast. Will a sub-class be created, ERTMS fitted?
