Ymwelodd Caio Gwilym, un o enillwyr ein Cystadleuaeth Lluniau Plant, â'r rheilffordd ddydd Sadwrn i fwynhau taith ar wasanaeth y Woodland Wanderer i Orsaf Tan-y-Bwlch. Er mwyn gwneud ei ymweliad yn fwy arbennig fyth, cafodd copi wedi'i fframio o'i lun buddugol ei arddangos yn Ystafell De Tan-y-Bwlch.
