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 last section of track from the station throat to the fiddle yard has been installed today. There were problems with the rail height so a piece of card had to be laid and sanded first. The track had its independent power supply installed and the first train ran. Welsh Pony was able to run round the full loop for the first time as a result. The siding at the rear of the station has had its power routed though a switch so I can isolate the section.
