Dear all, apologies in the lack posts over the past few months. Since Dad passed away, I’ve done little no modelling. Mulling over some ideas for 2018, but nothing definite. Thank you for all the support over what has been a difficult year. Best wishes to you all!

Dad
Dear all As some of you may know, I was brought up by my Grandparents and since my Grandma died in 2005 I have lived with my Grandad since then. Although he was my Grandad I always called him Dad because, other than biologically….he was my Dad. Since 2015 my Dad had begun to suffer …
Now for something completely different….
Work in progress…more over the coming weeks.
All change
Mixture of feelings today. After much consideration, I have decided that for the foreseeable, Cwm Prysor will be a home layout. To put this bluntly, as well as trying to make a living I am the carer for my terminally ill father. He is housebound and on 24hour oxygen and although there was the plan for …
Dangerous stuff….

Have a Brake? Have a Ki…. Pipe Wagon
While the hordes flock to Warley this weekend to froth and dribble over the latest releases, I decided to focus on the workbench. I picked up a Bachmann Pipe and Tube wagon earlier in the year, before I knew whether I could actually use them. Thankfully, after discussing this matter with an ex railwayman who worked …
Operating the full layout….properly!
Today has been an eventful one! This afternoon I took delivery of the Cwm Prysor Fiddleyards from Tim Horn. Things didn’t go as smooth as hoped initially, regarding mating the boards to the main layout…..eventually though, we got there. Here is how things look now! Blaenau Ffestiniog/Trawsfynydd Fiddleyard below. The cassettes are split into loco, …
