WELSH POOL & Llanfair Light Railway (WLLR) finances have been boosted by £132,000 following an August 18 auction held by Gildings Auctioneers in Market Harborough.
Going under the hammer was an extensive collection of model locomotives and equipment bequeathed to WLLR in the will of Leicester-based enthusiast Kenneth 'Mike' Abbott, who died at the age of 89 last year.
He was not a WLLR volunteer but enjoyed visiting the mid-Wales line.
