The blacksmith in question is one 'Dylan Evans'. At the moment he is inside busy at the forge - usually at exhibitions he can be seen outside the smithy shoeing a horse.
Gareth Jones is currently repairing the smithy roof, after a recent storm damaged some of the ridge tiles and loosened some slates.
He's seen here having a quick word with Dylan before tackling the ladders.
Below is a birds eye view of the layout, with the latest edition to the motive power - a small diesel just about to pass through the station with a coal delivery destined for the next stop up the line
Another edition to the ever growing fleet of assorted rolling stock is this unique livestock van.
William Mathias, one of the guards is in the process of painting warning signs on to the van, in an endeavour to keep young fingers away at exhibitions (the van is transporting Myfanwy the dragon to the Eisteddfod at Llwyncelyn, and she doesn't travel well))
After all that tiring work we retired to the lounge and settled down to serious imbibing, together with sausage rolls and home-made pizza.
Colin then showed us his latest locomotive construction, which will be related in more detail in a forthcoming edition of the 009 News. First is a little 0-6-0 Pecket:
Followed by this 'work-in-progress' 0-4-0 saddle tank, 9and I'm ashamed to say I've forgotten what the prototype was...):
Thats it for this episode - we are off to Login tomorrow to do more work on the Heritage building.
Don't forget you can see Pats 'Gorsaf Maes y Gof' and even get to
Nos da, Shaun.
