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.

The lining is finally started…
I have used fine yellow Fox transfers for the straight lines and Humbrol yellow glow in the bow pen for the curved lines. They are still a little on the thick side, but once the black border is added and they are weathered down they will hopefully look the part. I have now remembered that I used HMRS Pullman carriage lining on Palmerston, which was quite a bit finer. Its going to be interesting to see what a yellow lined England looks like as its quite a different effect to the post preservation red lining scheme use on the Ffestiniog.
