The Talyllyn Railway’s 16mm scale Narrow Gauge Railway Modellers
present the third annual Garden Railway open weekend.
We will be operating 16mm scale model steam hauled narrow gauge trains on the Llechfan Garden Railway which is located in the grounds of the volunteer hostel at the Talyllyn Railway, Wharf Station, Tywyn.
On Saturday evening the Porters Platter café at Wharf Station will be operating a licensed bar with hot meals available and in conjunction with the gala weekend, there will also be an evening train running on the Talyllyn Railway
The event coincides with the Talyllyn Railway Have A Go Gala which offers opportunities to drive a steam or diesel locomotive or take part in many of the other supporting activities on the Talyllyn Railway.
The event is being supported by several model traders. Confirmed to date are –
- Atropos
- Andel Models
- Back 2 Bay 6
- Imp Models
- Trenarren Models
- Chuffed 2 bits
- I&G Steam
- Martin’s Models
- Nigel Bird Books
- Essel Engineering
For the younger enthusiast a 7¼ ” gauge miniature railway will be providing rides in Wharf station yard.
Please contact us for further details.

Please ask platform staff at Tywyn Wharf station for directions to the garden railway. Do not cross the running lines to get to the layout unless supervised by Talyllyn Railway staff.
Congratulations and best wishes to everyone who has helped to build the LGR. Any plans to cater for us adherents to the “broad gauge” (45mm)?
From Peter Twigg (one-time TR traffic volunteer)
Sorry for the long delay in replying, but now that work is underway on moving much of the Compton Down Railway to Llechfan there will in time be provision for 45mm gauge.
