The group has identified a range of preservation projects that embody varying degrees of ambition.

In the reconstruction phase the main target was to ensure that as much as possible of the remaining infrastructure was recorded and preserved. Many original features were noted and, in most cases, have been saved. These include:

• Dinas station Building.
• Dinas Goods Shed.
• The majority of the original NWNG road-over bridges.
• The PB&SSR bridges.
• Two of the three NWNG river bridges.
• Beddgelert Water tower, inspection pit and lamp room base.
• The weigh houses at Glanrafon and Beddgelert Sidings (base and weigh pit).
• The water tower at Portmadoc New (1923) station.
• Most of the culverts, (many attractively rebuilt).
• Underpasses at Bod Aden and Tan yr Alt (latter reconstructed by WHR Society members).
• Bont y Cyt - the Croesor tramway bridge over the Cyt in Porthmadog.
• Waunfawr station building (to be re- erected)

However with the reconstruction of the line nearing completion it is now time to plan individual projects that will comply with our constitutional requirements to ‘Record, Preserve and Reconstruct’. Dinas Station Building and Dinas Goods Shed have already been restored, but other projects include:

• Cambrian Crossing Signal Box, plus associated wooden gates and fencing.
• Tryfan Junction station building.
• Pont Croesor Waiting Shelter
• A water tank to go atop the preserved water tower at Beddgelert.
• Replica lamp room and pit at Beddgelert.
• Replica station building at Nantmor.
• Rebuilding Waunfawr station in NWNG style.
• WHR style halt at Pont Croesor.

New projects are required to go through a ‘marking system’, the purpose of which is to establish their readiness for action. The Cambrian Crossing Box and Tryfan Junction station have been approved and are underway. Details of Tryfan Junction can be found from the link above, whilst the Cambrian Crossing Box project is progressing with the gates and fencing complete.   The box itself is coming along with all work to date being offsite.

Progress on projects will be reported in the News pages of this site and also archived on this page.
