4mm Llanfair ....

Larry, my subscription copy of the January 2025 Steam World has just landed on my doormat.
You might want to get a look at a copy. The centrespread is a superb photo of Llanfyllin in 1964.

Tittivating sums up recent activity in the awful weather. The signalbox was moved further back from the platform edge with the backwall exposed to ground level. The spear fencing appears to have been vandalised....



A bush was added to the end of the platform...


Wagons carrying agricultural machinery will be pushed beyond the shed for collection at the unloading platform behind the station...

Eerie red sky today, so this was dusk at Llanfair.....

Wishing everyone on Western Thunder a Happy Christmas and Health & Happiness throughout 2025....

When the station building was narrowed, the back end was never made good. Anyway, its done now using scraps of laser cut brick. The 'street' entrance was converted into a large round-top window in the 19th Century when it was found that passengers and goods yard horses and carts did not mix....


This aspect would be rarely seen in photos, but its a bit more of unfinished work completed...


Large agricultural equipment can be unloaded here as well as in the platform for same-day collection...
