Another great update from one of our projects. The skill and dedication of the team doing this is perhaps best demonstrated in this post. This project is not for the faint hearted.

Why not join us? Our membership subscription pays for our many projects which preserve or recreate parts of the Ffestiniog Railway's history; pays for scanning the many photos, drawings, and letters in our archive to make them widely available, pays for the historically accurate embellishments that would otherwise not be included in a rebuild, and pays for the continued maintenance of our heritage assets. ![]()

In return you get a quarterly Journal and you get access to our online archive with very high definition pictures, historic documents, drawings, and letters. You also get the satisfaction that you are helping the oldest surviving railway company in the world which was, and is, a world changer, tell its story and keep telling its story for generations to come. ![]()

Another weekend is coming to a close. What did you do with it? Something relaxing? Something satisfying? Or were you a bit bored once the football finished? ![]()

We can help! Volunteering for the Ffestiniog Railway is one of the most satisfying things you can do. The make-a-difference feeling; the look-what-I've-done feeling; the look-what-new-skills-I've-learnt feeling; the me-and-my-new-friends feeling. ![]()

Some jobs, such as rebuilding one of our locomotives, you need to go to Wales for. But not all. People do projects in workshops all over the UK; some do projects that can be done from anywhere, even as far away as Australia - research, marketing, project management, websites, social media. ![]()

In return you get a quarterly Journal full of articles and pictures about our projects and our history with new discoveries being made all the time - locos, carriages, waggons, signalling, trackwork, infrastructure, historically significant people, you get access to our online archive with very high definition pictures, and you get the very smug satisfaction that you are helping the oldest surviving railway company in the world which was, and is, a world changer, tell its story and keep telling its story for generations to come. ![]()
