Aye, please do let us know next time you're having an open day ;)

Seriously though, that's a very interesting film of what looks like a pretty fantastic railway. I especially loved that complete Vale of Rheidol train in one of the shots - oh, to have one of those on the MVR...but alas, well out of my price range! :(

The next open day is on 19th June 2008 - 'Garratt Sunday'.

It'll be the day when the Garratt type will be in attendance most, but anyone is welcome to bring any type/make of loco.

Pm me if you're interested please.

Looks like a Heywood type to me, although of course the originals were 15" rather than 2' gauge.

Yeah, if you look in the Rolling Stock section on the forum, you will see SillyBilly built one...
