The West Midland Group funded a replica replacement Lamp Hut at Beddgelert. The Group laid the concrete base and has ordered the building from Buildings Bespoke of Hereford (the same company that supplied the waiting shelter at Pont Croesor).  The building was installed in the Spring of 2011

The original hut was supposedly used for the storage of lamp oil, but there is evidence that an extra layer of concrete was added to the floor after the railway's closure. The extra floor had a trough running end to end with a drain at one end. There is speculation that it may have been used as a slaughterhouse by a local farmer.

The new hut will be used for general storage.
