Welsh Highland Heritage Railway on tour! On Sat 13th June one of our members visited The Stoomtrein Katwijk Leiden in The Netherlands. A batch of WHHR leaflets were left in a prominent position at the railway. Their leaflets are coming to Wales too.

Welsh Highland Heritage Rly fans!
Flagship Hunslet 2-6-2T 'Russell' - the only original WHR steam locomotive is currently 'out of ticket'. This means the boiler needs to be inspected and retubed.
This will cost money.
