The Welsh Highland Railway Heritage Group is dedicated to the preservation, conservation and restoration of the original infrastructure associated with the former Welsh Highland and North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways.

The Group has ensured that where possible the buildings and other features that contributed to the character of the railway, and to the countryside through which it ran, have been preserved during the reconstruction phase, helping both to enhance the experience of today’s passengers and to preserve the ethos which made the line unique.

However, with the reconstruction nearing completion, the Group has re-ordered its priorities from ‘preservation’ to ‘restoration’. The cataloguing and recording of the line’s history is an on-going activity.

Current projects include:

1. Reconstruction of the Cambrian Crossing Signal Box, where the narrow gauge crossed the standard gauge in Porthmadog.
2. Renovation of the derelict Tryfan Junction station building.
3. Replacement of the Water Tank at Beddgelert station.
4. Rebuilding of the Lamp Room at Beddgelert station.

The Group welcomes everyone who is concerned about, and interested in, those railways which contributed their character and background to what in 1923 became known as The Welsh Highland Railway.

The Group publishes a quarterly journal, which is sent to all members and which contains articles about the old line and its workings.

If you would like to help, or be associated with this work, and receive regular copies of “Welsh Highland Heritage”, may we invite you to print out this page, complete the details, and post it, and cheque to cover the amount,  to the membership secretary, Derek Lystor.
