Erwood railway station is a former station on the Mid Wales Railway in Erwood, between Brecon and Llanidloes, Powys, Wales.[2]

The station building has been reconstructed but the platforms remain in situ. The station house is intact with extensions. [citation needed]

There are three old railway carriages at Erwood on the platform edge. Two house craft exhibits and another awaits restoration. There is also a 1939 Fowler 0-4-0 industrial diesel locomotive, maker's number 22878, fleet number 'AMW No. 169', and named "Alan",[3] which has been cosmetically restored.[citation needed] It is named after Alan Cunningham, the founder of Erwood Craft Centre.

The three carriages are:

  • Great Western Railway six-compartment luggage composite, (body only)[4]
  • Midland Railway six-wheel five-compartment Third (body only), built 1886[5]
  • GWR 587 Four-wheel Third (body only), built 1873[6]
Railway trackbed now a road in Erwood.
