Panoramic view of the entrance ramp to the new museum. The photographer is standing at the point where the ramp turns through 90 degrees. The new paving was laid by WHHR volunteers, but impressed the contractors working inside the building. PICTURE: Andy Goodwin

Strewth! This 180 degree panorama does make it look slightly boomerang (or banana) shaped. PICTURE: Andy Goodwin

Blockwork for the entrance annexe is taking shape. Engineering Manager John Holmes and Company Secretary Chris Willby are standing in the toilet area.

The wall for the toilet has just about reached waist height.

Outside the new museum building, kerbstones have now been installed in the entrance courtyard. The line on the left will form the platform edge for the miniature railway

Inside, the original WHR Buffet Car now has the first of the seats fitted. This is one of the first class seats, which will need to be upholstered later in the month.

The Buffet Car has two partitions. This one separates the serving area from the third class section.

The no smoking signs are a copy of those originally used in the Buffet Car window, with the exception that it will also have some Welsh ones as well this time!

Two ex-RNAD vans in the yard outside the RED Shed. Any offers to paint them?

An assortment of ex naval vehicles in the yard at Gelerts Farm. These were a standard design for the military, and operated at several sites around the UK.

Jaz Long gingerly paints the inside of the gutters on the 1893 WHR Buffet Car, taking care not to spoil the newly applied green topcoat on the rest of the bodywork!

Inside the original WHR Buffet Car, Martyn Knight is assembling seats.

Jennifer Smart is putting another coat of gloss onto the new station name boards for Porthmadog, Pen-y-Mount and Gelerts Farm

Look busy, the management are here! Martyn Owen (Operations Manager), John Holmes (Engineering Manager) and James Hewett (Chairman) try out the new entrance ramp and paved courtyard.

Inside the museum building, work is moving on installing the boards which will house various displays.

A close-up of the display boards. There's a lot of space......

James Hewett and John Kerr attach more of the display boards to the wall. The upright pieces of wood holding them in place are called "noggins".

James Hewett is already the Chairman of the Board...... now he's the Chairman of the boards as well.

Blockwork for the entrance annexe is almost complete, and has moved on further since this picture was taken.

The wheels and bogies of the Wheelchair Accessible carriage are in the Locomotive Shed for some refurbishment......

.....leaving the carriage itself up on jacks.
