Conwy Valley Railway Museum

Museum
The Conwy Valley Railway Museum was originally formed by Alan Pratt in the early 1970s with a small exhibition in one of the standard gauge bogie coaches and the facility of a MK1 coach as a small café providing tea, coffee and biscuits. The carriages were left on a section of one of the sidings in the old goods yard of Betws-Y-Coed station.

Later an actual museum building was added then, with the arrival of a splendid 15 inch gauge Britannia locomotive, the museum building was altered to accommodate the incoming track and a display site and several new showcases and layouts were also added at this time.

Access to the museum can be obtained through the model shop at a modest cost of £1.50 for adults and 80p for children and OAPs or £4.00 for a family. There is also a model scenic railway in the musem which can be operated for just 50p.

Further photos and information can be found at Britannia or The Museum
