At the Bower Grove Summer Fete on Saturday 18th June, we managed to raise a staggering £200, which has all gone off to Demelza and was greatly appreciated. Thank you to all those who visited the stall to donate on that day.
Meanwhile we have sent "Bower Grove" to Rhos Helyg for a complete rebuild. We cannot tell you why for legal reasons. However, the locomotive blast pipe has been realigned to the proper vertical position, we have had a new blower assembly fitted, new water tanks and the water bypass assembly has been completely redesigned. This is in effect going to be an almost new locomotive when it comes back to us.
I have also written an article about my Roundhouse "Millie" which will be submitted to and hopefully published in "Garden Rail" Magazine. We will keep you update you with our developments on the rebuild of "Bower Grove".

Chris Nelson,
Event Organiser
