Yr Gorsaf Railway
Hello everybody, and welcome to the Yr Gorsaf Railway.
The Yr Gorsaf Railway is a 10 1/4”g railway that I started at the age of 13. The process of building the line has been fully documented on this channel. The railway is a minimal railway, with the aim to be able to use the line for farm use. The line has been being built for over 2 and a half years now and is over a third of the way done now. The line, when finished will be a 600m up and back line, with an alternative return route and a multitude of sidings.
Current loco stock includes Scamp 145 ‘Harvey’ and President (which is a steam outline Atlantic), on top of this is one loco in build and another that will potentially be being started.
Rolling stock includes a pair of flatbed wagons, an open top wagon, and a box van. Coaching stock includes a rake of three Ian Allan coaches which are ex Prestatyn and a roofed Toastrack.
Hope you all enjoy watching the progress of our little railway!
