Enthusiasts are hoping to breathe new life into a long-closed 170-year-old rail line as a tourist attraction.
It is 55 years since passengers last trundled along the Maerdy branch line in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Now a group of determined locals are planning to renovate a three-mile section of the abandoned line into a heritage railway.
They are asking for help to turn their "pub idea" of bringing jobs and tourists to the area into reality.
A 12-man committee and a "ever-growing" band of volunteers are appealing for "brains and brawn".
Their idea would see the creation of a visitor centre at the former Maerdy colliery at the end of the line between Maerdy and Tylorstown.
