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.

Today I have finally got round to fitting the couplings and roof to carriage 15. The bogies have had to be butchered to get them to negotiate the curve at the top of the loop, but this isn't noticeable when viewed. Modifications to avoid this can be incorporated when I build the next version of this carriage. The roof needs spray painting and the whole carriage will then receive light weathering to suggest a quite run down appearance. I'm tempted to have a go at one of the bug boxes sitting in the kit box! But I shouldn't get too distracted, the cottages come next….
