Plans to build a new workshop and store in Minffordd Yard have been given the go-ahead following the approval of a £235,000 grant from The Ffestiniog Railway Society.
The design is now finalised and there will be space to store patterns, marketing materials and Permanent Way components, together with an S&T workshop.
Work is due to start in early 2015 and the shell of the new building should be complete in late summer, when there will be an appeal for a big volunteer effort to complete the fitting out of the interior.
The outline plans give an indication of what to expect.
