It is with great pleasure that The Llanelli and Mynydd Mawr Railway
Company Ltd. wishes to announce a significant development in the
progress of the heritage project currently being undertaken at the former
colliery site at Cynheidre, near Llanelli. The company is now in a position to
announce that it has been awarded a grant from Welsh Assembly
Government Aggregates Levy Sustainability fund, which totals £73.501.
This grant will ensure that the laying of ballast, track, pointwork and the
construction of a steam locomotive shed is now just a matter of time. The
company hopes to be in a position to operate a passenger carrying service
in the early part of next year, with Easter as an initial target. By this time we
will have received our 0-4-0 Avonside Saddle Tank no. 1498 'Desmond'
from overhaul at the Llangollen Railway as a result of an earlier grant
totaling £50,000 for the locomotives restoration, awarded by the Heritage
Lottery Fund.
As a result of the development the company has opened a fotopic account
at lmmrcoltd.fotopic.net to provide people with the opportunity to view the
steady progress that has been made over the many years of hard work and
this site will continue to be updated in due course. We also now take this
opportunity to give readers the opportunity to become involved in the
project in any way possible, whether it is as a voluntary labourer, or indeed
as a distant contributor.
Any help available is vital to the growth of this exciting project. Please see
the 'Become Involved' section for more information.
