RAILS TO BLACK ROCK A blog about the construction of a 5.5mm scale model of a fictitious Ffestiniog Railway branch line to Black Rock Sands via Borth y gest. This was a railway that was proposed in real life but never built. Although a model railway, the model has an equal focus on the distinctive architecture of North Wales.The picture above gives an overall view of the area of the village being modelled.

On the bench this week is Ffestiniog composite coach no15. All it now required is a roof and couplings. There is however one section of track that is too sharp for the current bogie clearances and some modifications need to be made so that they can turn enough. Other than this it is a completely un altered Malcolm Savage kit.

Oooh. That is very nicely made. I think this is the inspiration I needed to get some myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks Max. Its a beautifully cast kit. I've built this one in original form with end windows. I aim to have one indian red rake representing pre Colonel Stephens era and a second rake in Green and oxide red. I'm sure Malcolm would be delighted to receive an order, just let him know what inspired you! Your comments will encourage me to keep up progress...
