Pendre Goings On - February 2008

Pendre is a hive of activity at the moment - have a look at a few photographs of the various projects in hand.

No 2 'Dolgoch' is following in the tracks of her big sister 'Talyllyn' - she's getting a repaint too! So far the grey undercoat is just about complete.

And finally, some very sad news. Phil Guest, one of our drivers and also a Loco Inspector, passed away last week following a short illness. We shall all miss his cheerful nature and natural ability to teach enginemanship. A Proper Railway Gentleman.

With thanks to Ray Reid for the photographs.
