Yesterday, the museum hosted a book launch for two new books in the ‘Recollections Series’ published by Silver Link Books. The Talyllyn Railway book is a joint effort by authors, and long time Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society members, Nigel Adams and Bob Cambridge. The Fairbourne Railway book is by Nigel Adams, with help from his son, Justin.
The Archbishop of Wales (also the Bishop of Bangor), Andrew John, performed the book launch in the Museum, and afterwards Archbishop Andrew travelled on the train that departed at 2.10pm.
Nigel Adams commented that he hoped that these books will be a valuable ‘publicity tool’ for both the Talyllyn Railway and the Fairbourne Railway, and bring some extra visitors to both railways.
