The next video coming is an update on where we are now, and our plan moving forward. This should give a better insight into us and our aims. 👍 If it's the history side of things you would like to know about, check out the other group: The New Glyn Valley Tramway & Industrial Heritage Trust. We are seppeerate groups but our friends here have a museum of all the history of the Glyn Valley Tramway. And if you get the chance, a vist there would be well worth it! Thanks! 🙂

Love your enthusiasm guys! I've always wondered what ultimately led to the decision to build to 2'3'' rather than the original 2'4 1/2'', I know there's been quite the debate going on over the years ;) Also, I know plans to eventually have a steam engine do already exist, sooo... are the plans to re-gauge a Baldwin 10-12-D or to build a new one to the design of the Beyer-Peacocks? Cheers from Germany and long live the #2ft3Alliance !

Hi there! There's still more planning going on, as there are a few logistical challenges we are figuring out, which is meaning some things are happening out of the normal order. One of the things we had to do, was to get track down under the bridge quick, so as not to have under the bridge at risk of being filled with concrete, as many others have been in the past. As well as the 150th anniversary event we wanted to hold too. Expect updates in the future, as there is lots going on behind the scenes, and we hope you like what you see! Thanks!

So, I notice your track gauge says 2’3”. Looking on your website the station yard you laid further up the valley is laid to 2’4.5” why the difference?
@glynvalleytramwaytrust 4 ай бұрын
Hi there! If you are refuring to the yard at the museum, that's a separate group to us. Which website did you go to? To answer the question though, we chose 2'3" because we become part of a community, joining the Corris and Talyllyn railway, meaning we can share stock for events, ect. Hope this helps. ☺

Great stuff and well done. I was a bit surprised to see you using a second sledge to hit the spikes home. I was always taught that hardened steel tools shouldn't be struck together, due to the risk of them shattering?
@glynvalleytramwaytrust 4 ай бұрын
Yeah that's right. The team was using wood as the strike block to avoid any miss-hits and possibly dameging the track, but found that the energy from the hits were being absorbed by the wood, and the team weren't quite happy with the way the first few pins went in. It's a work in progress for sure, but we just want to make sure the pins go in straight and true. Noted and passed on! Thanks for your kind comments! ☺ 🚂
