Here is my track-plan of the new Aberffraw layout, made using AnyRail 5: based on the initial rough sketch map I created earlier in the blog: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/1889/entry-21674-he-we-go-with-a-bit-of-background-history/
Please read my other blog posts in order to understand the fictional history of the line.
In the comments under my last post I mentioned the Gwalchmai Light Railway, a fictional branch line near to Aberffraw. Here is a map and 'history' I have created of the line (historical inaccuracies in italics). The red line shows the Gwalchmai Light Railway, the black line the RAF Mona extension, constructed in 1915, meanwhile the blue line is the Aberffraw Railway. The black-dash line is the Aberffraw Railway (Llangefni Extension) Act line, part of which was planned was constructed (the yellow
The picture here is a map of the supposed route: of which the "history" I have created in the previous post (historical inaccuracies in italics).

The blue line shows the original extension (the Aberffraw Railway) to Soar Station, where (Aberffraw Railway-operated) passenger trains reversed and ran to Bodorgan via the LNWR Chester-Holyhead main line. The red line identifies the Henllys

The red on the plan shows the track; the dark blue: the contours at 5m (shown as dark orange on a modern OS map). The idea is that it is a branch line station on a private railway (latterly absorbed by the LNWR).
