The Rhiw Valley Light Railway is located near to the village of Berriew in Powys, Wales. The railway is constructed to gauge, in an 'out and back' return loop . As an 'out and back' loop, trains return to the central station facing in the opposite direction from that in which they departed. The railway was privately built and operated, and its original owner is now deceased. The railway is now owned by his widow, who initially opened the line to the public just one day per year, in mid-summer. The railway is now open once a month from May through October. The very attractive route runs through fields and along hedgerows, and being largely unfenced there is considerable interaction with livestock from rabbits to sheep. There are two resident steam locomotives. 'Powys' is a powerful 0-6-2 tank engine, built in 1973 by Severn Lamb. 'Jack' is a large 0-4-0 tender engine, constructed by TMA Engineering of Birmingham and Jack Woodroffe of Welshpool in 2003. An assortment of wooden passenger carriages (both bogie carriages and four-wheel vehicles) and wagons is available on the line. ==Gallery== Image:Powys_right_side_view.jpg|Powys right side view Image:Powys_arriving_at_station.jpg|Powys arriving at station Image:Jack_departing_on_circuit.jpg|Jack departing on loop Image:Jack_returning_on_circuit.jpg|Jack returning on loop Image:RVLR_Jack.jpg|RVLR - Jack Image:RVLR_Trackmap.png|Track map (produced by GPS Utility) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhiw Valley Light Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
