I want a fleet of barns to go behind my 'Taliesin' (if and when I get it).

The orignal Ffestiniog Railway bogie ballast waggons are nice.....

So thats the plan.
Silly bill buys an engine and gets someone else to build the stock to go behind it.

I dont know why, perhaps its cos PTLRsam recently visited the WHR (C), but i'm quite tempted to build one of the wagons used on each train for carrying bikes. Just cos it seems like something a bit different. Would need to find some piccies, and maybe some drawings!

Today the buffet car was launched into service at PTLRfest, the large gala of the Pine Tree light railway. First pic shows final testing on the ANLR and second pic shows the carriage on the PTLR's large viaduct
