Llechfan Garden Railway

Llechfan Garden Railway Llechfan 16mm Garden Railway Built in the garden of the Llechfan volunteer hostel at Tywyn Wharf station on the Talyllyn Railway. we can find something for all!

Started in 2001 with a fairly basic circuit it has since progressed to become 2 interconnected circuits with a branch line under construction built to incorporate the buildings of the Compton Down Railway on 2009. At present it is mainly 32mm but there are plans to build an extensive 45mm system to feed the heavier industrial sites that make up a big part of Compton Down. We're always on the looko

ut for willing volunteers so if there's anything you fancy lending a hand with let us know... from weeding the dandelions to heavy drainage works.. To pay us a visit outside open days, drop us a line on how best to check with Talyllyn Control to get across the track safely over to the hostel side.

The first weekend in July is fast approaching, which can mean only one thing - as always we are open for the public on the Saturday & Sunday over that weekend. 10.30am until 4pm.

Members of the 16mm Association are very welcome to come and run & socialise - if it looks like we get busy then we may introduce a rota otherwise a system of mutual agreement applies.

Happily, we again line up with the ever popular beer festival, where a fine selection of beers & ciders will be available. That starts from Friday.

We look forward to welcoming you on Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th, all please put in your very best word for wonderful weather.

Founders Weekend Saturday. A delightful day in honour of the 75th anniversary of the train run by volunteers on the Talyllyn Railway.

Some very beautiful engines with an excellent Talyllyn & Skarloey presence, and the very first visitors to see the new Compton Down Railway Museum. All in all a very good day, our thanks to those that have helped to get things ready and to those that joined us and made it special, even in the rain.
