Hi Tommy,

That park, is it owned by a club or a group of clubs. Or is it a public park. I can't imagine
the amount of money that went into designing, engineering, and building it, not to mention the
maintenance.


It is in a public park the land being leased from the local authority, during the year there are public open days which help finance the society.  More information at : https://www.cardiffmes.co.uk/

I am fortunate in living less than a mile from the park.

Take care Tony.


You are fortunate. Stay safe Tony.

  What a fascinating video, I loved it.  I noticed the boy didn't pull out a phone and started
getting distracted, no that young fella listened and learned, good for him.

  The bucket list just got longer.
  Thanks Tony.

Hi,

Yesterday, here in old South Wales the sun shone and a young member of the CMES got to drive a steam locomotive for the first time.  Pupil to instructor in around two hours!
