9 April Update

Written by Bob Greenhalgh

Diesel Merionnydd receives repaint at Llanuwchllyn copyright Bob Greenhalgh The photo shows Bala diesel Meirionedd nearing the completion of her repaint. The photo doesn't really do the quality of the work justice. Shortlt after this photo was taken Roger painted the buffer beams in red making the loco look even better. It is hoped to have the engine running in the not too distant future. Other News: George B's frames are being painted and were under wraps on my visit so no photo's available. The picnic benches and platform seats have had Winter maintenance and refurbishment before being put out at Bala station. Much bushwacking and shredding has taken place during the closed season and this has opened up many fine views. The house next to Bala station has been renovated and is now occupied. This is very welcome. Triassic is to be put back together as and when labour and time is available. Possibley to be steamed at the end of the year. Alice is to visit the Welsh Highland at Porthmadog early May and also to visit Wicksteed Park. New build Hunslet, Jack Lane is due to visit the Bala Lake Railway for a week also in early May. More details from Roger and Bobby. Bob Shell.
