Physical and financial help, We need as much help now, as we did in 1951 when we took the railway over.

The Preservation Society is the key to it. lt is more than just a supporters' club. lt has real, eftective control over the way the railway is run. The members elecl the council of the Sociely, which in turn appoints the members of the board of the railway company.

Membership costs only 30s a year (f,15 Life, l0s junior under 21) and gives you:- Free travel on the Talyllyn and Festiniog Railways Activities in your local area Working parties at Towyn Four issues of the lively "Talyllyn News"

It was intended that the society should cater for the needs of model engineers and similar amateur craftsmen in the Rugby district both from a practical It is the Groups aim to and social point of view. ensure that main line steam engines shall run again on a Soon after its' formation, the society was very fortunate in securing the use of main line specifically owned permanent premises at the Hillmorton Community Centre, thus beginning a very and operated for that happy association which has lasted ever since. The building (a brick built war time PurPose. air raid shelter) was converted by the addition of windows and suitable equipment into a workshop. From time to time the equipment has been improved and To this end, negotiations are includes a variety of machine and hand tools.

BR towards aquisition of a part of the former Being a railway town, it was not surprising that a large part of the member's interest. was centred around steam locomotives and, at Hillmorton, was the ideal site for the construction of a miniature steam passenger hauling railway.
