With your help, we have now restored and recreated several of the carriages which will form the Welsh Highland heritage train. The historic WHR Buffet Car is now in service, and the replica of its long-vanished sister is now nearly completed. But there is still lots to do before the project is complete. Our next job is to refurbish the historic Gladstone Coach, built in 1892. This luxurious first class observation carriage was used by the Prime Minister, William Gladstone when he visited Snowdonia.
Looking to the future, we also plan to build a
replica of one of the long-disappeared WHR Pickering brake composites, discreetly adapted for wheelchair access...The Heritage Train Project aims to create an entire train of original and replica carriages for the WHR. Carriage from the train are used at the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway most day, and the entire train will be in use each weekend in the summer - click here for more details |
