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.

Having gone back to look at the Francis Frith photo from the 1930's I spotted that the windows were not as I had made them... So the first window was scrapped! The roof needs tiling and there are lots of other details such as door knobs and guttering yet to be added, but I'm quite pleased with the look. To visit the Francis Frith site and see the source material I am using click here.
