Now there are a few followers of this blog I thought I'd include a few more photos of my previous layout 'Dulas' to give an idea of the kind of scenery I am aiming for. I really like simple understated scenes where the railway is almost incidental... Above is Maespoeth shed. A scene no longer possible with the building of the carriage shed in the field in the foreground. The trees look a bit crude by todays standards but the buildings still convey the mood of the place well.
Aberllefenni Station. A very simple building and a single siding to run the train around on. No one could ever give a definitive answer to how the back of the building was constructed. I surmised it was probably timber.
Pant Perthog curve. One of the joys of modelling a real location is the feedback you get from the public. One lady who had lived next to the school told us about a day when pigs escaped and were found wandering the line by the school, a detail we added later. No doubt we will learn of lots of little stories which can be added to the Borth y gest scene.
