WW1 things to see in Wales?
Permalink   


Off to north Wales in a weeks time, near Caernarfon, and was wondering if anything WW1 related to see in the area? I know some of the narrow gauge railways have WW1 stock but not sure if it's possible to access the sheds where they will most likely be held. Any artillery pieces in local museums etc?

Caernarfon Castle houses the Royal Welsh Fusiliars museum.Well worth a look.

The FFestiniog railway has WDLR equipment,an Alco, Simplex's etc and some D Class wagons. The Welsh Highland has some small Simplex's and a Baldwin 4-6-0 which is being restored.

The University in Bangor has a vast archive of Great War material but for that to be on public show you will have to wait till next year.

I think we discussed it on a thread somewhere.
