bal - vending machine

Empty vending machine at Llanuwchllyn Station on the Bala Lake Railway.
I think this historic item was used to dispense chocolate bars, rather than just cigarettes. I'm told that it is intended to restore it to working order, but the coin mechanism is pre-decimalisation and that is a potential problem [I would suggest they sell people "tokens" to operate it, under supervision, and unload it at the end of the day].
