Nothing wrong with day dreams , mad or otherwise I've never personally ventured into O gauge . I think I've been put off by cost and space needed to have a layout (obvious really)
Just build it in any scale and use the memories as the excuse Cheers

Hi PJ . I would love to see this come to life .... One day We used to holiday in the area as kids (late 70's / early 90's) and as you say , I also have very fond memories. That's one of reasons I started my layout.
I'm considering a small plank based on Talybont (very early stages of planing)
A great part of the network to model.
All the best , Kev

Pretty sure the railings have only been added in the last few years, so probably not needed for you period(s).
Thanks for that JZ . At the moment I'm kind of modelling a mix of old ,new and whatever looks best to the eye .cheers

Hi all . Not much progress on the layout lately. I seem to have hit anoter brick wall (and it's been too hot) However , I have managed a 'site visit' So now I have a lot of photos of the tunnel mouth and the old toll house .
Apologies for the quality of the photo off laptop :/
Im now wondering if I should make the tunnel mouth and retaining wall out of Wills sheets or have a go at scribing some plasticard . Any suggestions on a supplier for the rail/fence on the top of the wall ?? Thanks for dropping by. All the best, Kev

I do have plans Terry, but it will have to wait until Pen is sold, as it's a big-un.
I can't wait for the next one , I'm sure it'll be a great source of inspiration (like all your other work) Keep us posted please Andy
All the best , Kev

Hello all . Sorry about the lack of updates of late , seem to be letting life get in the way a bit oh well , it happens . I've been driving through Barmouth this week on my way to work up the coast in Harlech. I was hoping for either a nice bright morning or evening to get some pics . But no ! The weather so far has been rubbish .
Thanks for all the comments, I do find them helpful and an inspiration when I no I should be doing some work on the layout
Cheers , Kev

Hello everyone . Had my first go at a varnish top coat for the estuary today. SWMBO thinks ive got clear varnish for the bannister !!!
overall im very pleased with the result. Ok , its only had 4 hours drying time so far . There are some patches where it seems to on have soaked into the toilet paper base and has gone matt.
When leaving the attic the other day, I couldnt help thinking how tidy it all looked (the carpet tiles are new too)
Hope your enjoying this as much as me , Kev

Just found this . Great layout . Love the small details . Class 37 locos are one of my favourites . This thread shows how much help is available on this forum . But remember, it's your layout,and do what works best looks best to you . Keep up the excellent work , Kev

Great work so far. Track work and the platform look really good . I'll be following this with interest . Kev

Hi Jim . Thanks for posting these pics . Have you any more of Morfa ? Cheers , Kev

Great job on the 24 . I could see that being a real 'double take model' in the right setting . Who makes the crew figures ? Think they look great cheers , Kev

You could move the hill behind the 158 from the Dolgellau side of the bridge to the seaward side.
That's the way I'm swaying I think mate . Some sort of hill / cutting / embankment.

Good evening everybody. A little bit more scenery on the Morfa end of the layout.
Simple bit of sand on cardboard, bit of old ballest and a cocktail stick and thread fence . All really simple, but really quick and effective way to get the atmosphere I've been after
couple of shots of the Pwllheli bound 108
More exciting news !!! A new arrival on the layout
A bargain Heljan 128 dpu . Really pleased with this . It runs sooooo smoothly.
Not sure what to do with the scenic break at this end of the layout.
Im considering a radio mast and hut , possibly on a slightly raised area to disguise the big hole in the sky.
Thanks for dropping by . As normal , thanks for any comments and advice . Cheers ,Kev
