Vale of Ffestiniog poses at Beddgelert

and off onto the Cwm Cloch S bend

and finally she poses on the third level...

Tal at Minffordd

From inside the newly restored old engine shed, we see a Prince of engines

Inside are the tanks for Lyd and the relatively unused FR bike van

Prince and the Old Engine Shed

The new one piece cylinder block for Taliesin

The Chinese C2 under a tarp at Boston Lodge

Tal crosses the cob with a vintage train

A motorised skip chassis (!) at the back of the engine shed, thought to be called 'Monster' and which was used on the deviation, before being sold to Rich Morris. It was then displayed at Gloddfa Ganol. when this closed it was reaquired for the FR. restoration started in 2007.

atmospheric

Port model show was on again, this was a nice scene

16mm Harlech

Bron Hebog is the 'sequel' to Dduallt

Part of it was on display as a work in progress

The platform area

the water tower has been scratchbuilt in the same way as mine for Rhyd Ddu (although I have yet to do the strapping)

The concrete retaining walls are really nicely modelled

an overall look - let's hope we get to see Russell at Beddgelert in reality!

The first part of the S curve behind the station was used for two sidings. The section on show is only part of a much larger undertaking...add the S curve behind the station and this will be 20feet by 10 feet!

Rob Waller and some of his excellent scratchbuilt carriages

The funkey brings in another train

Upnor sits in the siding whilst two trains pass

This model of 2100 is exquisite

a B wagon made from the worsley kit, the detailing is excellent.

the manky concrete 'heritage' water tower has been faithfully modelled too. A B wagon prior to painting is also in attendance.

mess carr 1000 (ex FR 100)

David Waller was looking after the 'old' layout Dduallt.

DLG passes over Rhoslyn bridge

back to Bron Hebog and there is much activity

here is k1, awaiting her gloss black with red/yellow lining.

Also at the show was Dinas in 7mm by Paul Holmes. This is an incredible scratchbuilt Little Wonder. It is DCC, has sound and smoke and....even steam from the drain cocks!
