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

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

A little bit of work on the tunnel mouth and retaining wall this morning.
Nothing is fixed in permanent yet but its given me more of an idea how this end will look . Thanks for looking in . Kev

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
