Mamod Day on the Llechfan Garden Railway, held in conjunction with the under 14’s model railway show in the John Slater room in the main Wharf Station building. A day for the cheap n’ cheerful! Mamods and their many derivatives, battery locos, clockwork, etc. A day aimed at introducing the younger visitor to the delights of garden railways, with most of the trains being operated by the Talyllyn Tracksiders, the TR’s under 14’s volunteer group, supervised by their parents and assisted by some of the regular operators at Llechfan.

    Subject to the weather and individual availability, there is usually someone in Llechfan Garden most Sundays through the year, and Thursday evenings through the summer months, but we cannot guarantee that the railway will be operating as maintenance and improvement of the garden and railway is an ever present task.
