Shed Sunday
It’s here, it’s up and after several coats of paint it’s ready for the electrics! Next week the carpet goes down ready for Cwm Prysor to take it’s rightful place.
First Train of the Day
Ok, the bleak whiteness does make it look like it’s still been snowing up their since Christmas! The bufferstop has now been made, and the siding partially laid. At 7.17am, 4645 passes the former loop, now siding….with the 6.45am off Bala, due at Blaenau Ffestiniog, 8.36am.
Cwm Prysor – Track Laying
Today I finished the laying of the track on the Main Line. It generally went well, although a touch of fettling was required on the track that crosses the baseboard join. As some of you may know, the loop at Cwm Prysor was taken out in 1951, leaving a dead end siding. It had niggled …
All Railways Great and Small
Last weekend, I spent an enjoyable time in that wonderful country, Wales. The two days were spent admiring railways in 4mm and Standard Gauge. The plan had initially been made for me to also make a visit up to Cwm Prysor but the weather showed snow….so plans were changed! Saturday, Alan Buttler and I headed …
Mineral Wagons – Part 3 ‘Planked ex POs’
So from the 16T, I have moved onto the planked ex Private Owner. The RCH design is most familiar to ex railwaymen and modellers a like. When we tend to think of POs, it’s easy for our mind to only think of the brightly coloured wagons supplied by model railway manufacturers. I think we have …
Bringing Up the Rear

Mineral Wagons – Part 2 ‘BR 16T’
Over the past week, my hobby time has been spent working on the Bachmann BR 16T I repainted in my last update. This was a project I had initially been dreading, as steel bodied 16Ts have a particular look, and many models I’ve seen just do not look right. When it came to adding the …
Mineral Wagons – Part 1
Keeping with the rolling stock theme in mind, I’ve moved my attention to mineral wagons. I don’t need a mass of them, but I certainly need a few (one/two per pick up goods). To be honest, I’ve been putting off working on a 16T, as I knew I would be venturing into new ground….certainly not a …
The LMS Brigade
Like many things, variety is the spice of life as they say. I find that I go through phases of what I enjoy modelling. Occasionally I fancy working on a Pannier, other times rolling stock and currently, it’s vans that have my attention. I find Vans in particular interesting (I blame that Pennine chap!), in …
