Rails in Wales 1994. Visit to RNAD at Trecwn

In 1994 we join a private group during their visit to this secretive deport for the Royal Navy. Of special interest was the 30 miles 2'6" track used by the locos to move Armaments into the tunnels. Much more information will be found on Google

Nice to see this vid'. My daughter lived in Westley Place,
Trecwn. (old MOD houses I believe) & this depot was at the bottom of the road. Often walked down & tried to get a look inside, never managed it though. The google earth pic's of the depot was what interested me. Thanks for the great vid.

If I remember correctly the 30 miles of 2'6" gauge track was made of copper. No wonder the place was kept secret. Thanks for the upload Mike.

Very interesting Mike. I know there are plans to turn this site into a biomass power station using the existing mainline connection to bring trains in, but it has gone very quiet about it so maybe being reviewed.

Very interesting place, lots of things to see very enjoyable.

I've had a few walks around the site in recent years. Not a lot left now. All the magazines are sealed up. All the narrow gauge track has gone. The full size track reaches about half way into the site. Security are fairly active and on occasion I saw three matt green SUVs racing along the tracks, no idea what they were doing.

Thanks for the update; I'm too far away in the Vale of Glamorgan ( keeping an eye on TfW at Barry Shed.)

[@mattsdieseltrains1565]

Very interesting thank you

My father and two brothers worked there, all involved with the railway

In the late 70's when i was in the RAF i used to take munitions in to this place all the way from RAF Honington in Suffolk. It's very similar to RAF Chilmark.

What's there now? Any idea....Mike

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Fascinating, I wonder what’s going on there now.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

See below.....all very quiet at the moment

[@geoffisaac3511]

Is the line still open going up to it to day ?

[@craighaden7911]

No they are not.
