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]}

The three carriages are:

Midland Railway six-wheel five-compartment Third (body only), built 1886^[5]
GWR 587 Four-wheel Third (body only), built 1873^[6]
