Getting your hands dirty is what loco maintenance is all about. Lubricating Gelert is a good way to do just that!

One weekend of October 1997, the volunteers held their fourth annual gala known as Dirty Chappies IV. Here, Gelert stands in Platform 2 and Porthmadog with the RNAD 'Fighting' Brake Van and a fine rake of RNAD box vans.

Gelert's boiler had a major overhaul from late 2002, returning in May 2003. The boiler is seen here having been re-fitted into the frames at Gelert's Farm Works.

Steam locomotive Gelert is framed by the wooden beams of Pen-y-Mount station building as the fireman waits for the signal to depart. Pen-y-Mount station is a faithful replica of an original WHR halt from the 1920s, when money was scarce, and station buildings were indeed constructed from corrugated iron!

The boiler of Bagnall 3023. The rake of wagons is standing in one the two sidings alongside the old slate exchange wharf. Amidst the vegetation, the wharf is marked by a line of slate walling.

Bagnall 3023 0-4-2 is still in pieces, awaiting restoration to be like sister locomotive No. 3050 Gelert. This photo shows the boiler and parts in the open wagon and, beyond, the frames and running gear.

A driver's eye view of the line. Taken from the cab of Bagnall 0-4-2T Gelert, this view shows the curve past the works and on towards Porthmadog (WHR) station. The crew can open the cab windows, and usually do on fine days!

Yes, it is on the rails! This slightly odd view shows Bagnall 0-4-2T Gelert in the siding next to the main line. The loco has just coaled up at the end of the day, and has run a little further along the headshunt. Being a lightly laid siding, it doesn't get the same strenuous weedkilling treatment as the main line.
