Hugh Phillips Engineering
Tafarnabauch Industrial Estate - Hugh Phillips Engineering (HPE) had a similar business model to Alan Keef Limited, retaining and using their skills in steam locomotion until their sad demise in 1996. The building with the red door was their main factory; that with the grey door was a locomotive shed. The sleepers at lower right were at the start of a dead straight quarter mile long test track, which ran alongside one of the industrial estate roads. There was no connection to the national network, but the line ran slightly North of the former LNWR Heads of the Valleys line.
