GLYNCEIRIOG ENGINE SHED, GLYN VALLEY TRAMWAY     

Over the years, I have been collecting various 7mm  models of the Glyn Valley Tramway, which is my local narrow gauge railway (about 11 miles away). Now that the Glyn Valley Tramway Trust has started work on the original Chirk GVT station area, with the removal of years of tree growth and dumping of tonnes of rubble from the demolition of the ex-GVT's buildings for the construction of the Canal Wood Industrial Estate, I thought it was a good time to work on a layout of what the GVTT might have in mind..

There are two GVT narrow gauge societies on the Glyn Valley, one at each end.
