Stevelewis Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Did anyone see Hinterland on BBC1 WALES Monday evening? It was the last of the series, but will be repeated on BBC 4 ( I think) It was in my opinion a very good series. Intriguing and worth watching. The point of this though is last nights episode featured mostly around Borth Nr Aberystwyth and the railway station, nr the end of the episode, the police found a model railway in the cellar of Borth station with a Bachmann?? Class 150 in Arriva trains livery running round, the model although only briefly featured looked to be quite realistic. Except there were no points apparently!! I think you can get the prog on BBC I Player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 75C Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah, I saw that. Layout was certainly a good size. A couple of screen grabs from iPlayer below. I've checked the BBC's T&Cs, and there doesn't seem to be anything preventing still images being captured as long as the BBC is credited. If I've read that wrong, mods please remove the images and accept my apologies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purley Oaks Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for this, Steve. Yes, Hinterland is scheduled to be shown on BBC4 later this year as part of the Nordic (or should that be Celtic?) Noir season Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The programme has been made in two versions, majority English dialogue with some Welsh, and entirely Welsh which was shown on S4C before Christmas. The "Borth" episode also featured DI Mathias correctly identifying a Bachmann GWR City! In an odd twist S4C and the BBC have sold the series to Danish broadcaster DR, makers of "The Killing" and "Borgen" so the Danes will soon be seeing some Welsh Noir!

Thanks for the info, the identifucation of the CITY (GWR 4-4-0) was uncanny I think it points to there being a Model railway enthusiast with some connection to the programme, would be interesting to find out more re the model which was obviously quite well done detail wise but not much of a track plan!! Mind you it is only a single track thro \Borth! How is Fairborne these days does the railway still prosper? I always used to eat my sandwiches by the station to watch the trains, when my territory covered that part of the world, There used to be a guy who lived just outside Friog, who made 16mm NG locos I bought 1 from him years ago, I actually collected it from the Bala Lake Railway depot at Llan (cant remember the rest!) where he was a driver, he had placed it on the foortplate of, I think it was Maid Marion I think his surname was Hine. sorry to digress!!

Adams442T Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Available on iPlayer til Monday 3rd Feb 11.15pm and worth watching I think. I believe the layout may have been lent by a friend of mine, Alan Spalding, who now works as a freelance producer for BBC in Cardiff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
borthstationmuseum Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hello Folks-I'm one of the organisers of Borth Station Museum which was featured as a location in episode 4 of Hinterland. The model was produced at phenomenal expense by professional model makers. It features a single track around a highly detailed landscape of Borth station, the river Leri and surroundings, as well as some fictional tunnels etc, to allow runaround operation. At the end of filming it was all donated to the Museum, but is too large for us to display pemanently- about 5m by 4m. The bachman "158" was the only rolling stock, which is displayed in the museum along with the station section.. We displayed and ran it all in a tent at our 150th Station Gala day las year. We've now got it in storage in sections, and will probably give it an airing on July 5th this year for our Steam Saturday fete.Have a look at our website www.borthstationmuseum.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicShilton Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm new to the forum and have been prompted to join to share my own photos of this layout that I took at the Station's Open day last year. It really does capture the feel of the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted April 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2014 Looking forward to the Cymru version of "The Killing" and "The Bridge".Your images are much appreciated by this exile. Diolch ! And "Croeso" to RMWeb! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 75C Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hinterland back on BBC4 April 28th, although I don't know if it's a repeat of what was shown in January or new episodes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think it's the same bi-lingual episodes as shown in January, this time getting a national airing. The January episodes were just on BBC1 Wales, following the entirely Welsh language broadcasts on S4C back in November last year. The trailers seem to show the same storylines.

Purley Oaks Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Saw all 4 episodes, including the final Borth one last night, on BBC4. Good noir, more rain than Denmark or Sweden - wish the lead would smile more - all hangdog eyes and never changing clothes for days. Good to see Wallander's return, too.

jwealleans Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 We were on holiday in Borth last Easter and visited the museum. Charming place run by a very friendly group of people and I do recall the model of the station very well. Recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted May 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2014 No spotting points for RM Webbers though. Not so much a Class 158 as a Class 150/2. Although a 158 would have been more appropriate for the Cambrian. At least the 150 is in Arrive Trains Wales/Trenau Arriva Cymru livery David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Lambton58 Posted May 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yes, class 158s at Borth. This was taken in October 2011 when we enjoyed a visit to the Station Museum Hi, my wife and I really enjoyed the series and spotting locations we know (her ancestors come from Borth, our eldest son is at Aberystwyth University and we've had a lot of of family holidays in the area). Did anyone notice the museum curator character putting away a life sized cardboard cut-out ? This exists and is a photo of Will Owen who was Borth Station master until 1966. Will Owen was married to one of my wife's relatives. Our younger son contemplating the view. There's something about waiting at Borth station that makes people stare at Borth Bog! It is actually a fantastic wildlife reserve. Ralph Lambton58 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
