No 1 'Snowdon Ranger' was my first loco build, a Chivers Finelines kit on an Arnold chassis. It originally ran on Dolgarreg Ddu before being sidelined on a plynth in the station carpark after damage to the chassis. A new chassis has now been sourced, but I am undecided whether to leave the loco as is for the sentimental aspect of it bring my first, or upgrade it to a higher standard.

After laying and wiring up the trackwork in the main station, the decision has been taken to temporarily pause construction on the main layout pending a house move. However work will still continue on locomotives and rolling stock, so updates on progress will still be shared here and on YouTube. We will also start to share information about the locomotives lined up to operate the railway, which will include locos from Dolgarreg Ddu and Rheilffordd Coed y Bleiddiau as well as new acquisitions!
