Impressive progress being made here. A few lengths of track down the platform and eventually the ticket office being rebuilt will improve the experience for visitors, no end.

Used to work on that line for TFWR cleaning and maintenance on chirk station, saw the start of your work clearing the rubble and the old Ruabon bricks from the station. Looks amazing

[@glynvalleytramwaytrust]

Thanks! We're glad you like what you see! 😁 Lets hope it changes a bit more the next time you see it. 😉

[@tomlikestrains4071]

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 !

[@glynvalleytramwaytrust]

Hello in Germany! 😃Thanks for your questions, It's quite a common one we hear! 😅We'll answer both of your questions in the next update video coming soon. 😊👍 #2ft3Alliance

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! 🙂

@@glynvalleytramwaytrust ok

[@wexfordwaster7423]

Given that the GVT was a roadside tramway, how far can the reconstruction get to without getting into highways type issues?

[@glynvalleytramwaytrust]

Thanks for your question! We'll add it to the list and do our best to answer it in the next update video. Thanks! 😊

[@Britishrailwaysthenandnow]
