Windjabbers Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The very nice Llangunllo layout on the blogspot http://radnorailways.blogspot.co.uk/ Seems to have disappeared. It was there when I visited before Christmas. Anyone know what has happened? I enjoyed following this one. Best Wishes David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Geoff Forster removed his 'Chronicles of Penhydd' blog (Llangulo's predecessor) when Llangulo started, so maybe he's having another change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted January 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) The very nice Llangunllo layout on the blogspot http://radnorailways.blogspot.co.uk/ Seems to have disappeared. It was there when I visited before Christmas. Anyone know what has happened? I enjoyed following this one. Best Wishes David Geoff has had a lot of problems with spamming and believe it or not was receiving some rather nasty comments from so called 'modellers', which is why the comments sections was always moderated. He was going to drop the blog completely, but was persuaded to keep it going, in a new format but without the ability for his friends and followers to comment on line. His son is currently running the blog using comment and content that Geoff provides. Geoff's presently on a short holiday, and will no doubt pick up on the problem of the missing blog on his return.

RMweb Premium PMP Posted January 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2017 Dave and Richard are on the money. Geoffs not the only blog writer having had a particular type of 'reader' visit over the past year. Ho hum. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted February 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm missing the Llangullo blog too. Geoff's excellent photography and explanation of his thought process behind the layout's development were very absorbing. Thanking my lucky stars that I managed to read a good portion of it before it was caused to be removed by what I'd describe as pond life, and I think that's being charitable towards them. I hope some of the content will reappear, even if it has to be much less interactive than before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windjabbers Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the replies. That's a hugh shame that he has ben hassed by idiots. Thoses of you that know Geoff, please do encourage him to get going again as it is/was a very good blog.

sparky Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for your interest in Penhydd, and Llangunllo guys, as Richard pointed out my Dad is currently on holiday and rarely visits the forum these days. So rather than hear things from the horses mouth I'll do my best to fill you in. I'm afraid the blog has gone for good, things started to go wrong a while back, people couldn't comment, and at one time my Dad couldn't even reply to the comments that had got through. Then posts began to disappear, along with the blog list another bits and pieces, then the abusive comments started to arrive. From then on things continued to get worse, and eventually my Dad decided to delete all three of his blogs. However all is not lost for you can still read about Penhydd and Llangunllo here on the forum at http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/llangunllo-the-next-chapter.456/. And here at at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/25359-penhyddthe-final-chapter/?hl=penhydd, there might still be something on the old RMweb site as well, failing that all 109 Llangunllo posts can be found here at http://llangunllo1.rssing.com/chan-51234596/latest.php Its a shame that the decent guys such as yourself can no longer view the blogs, but he just couldn't continue with them the way things were. As far as I'm aware my father has no future plans as regards blogging, but I believe a series of articles are planned for one of the modelling magazines.

Danemouth Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I hope that the RMWeb thread flourishes as it's a really lovely model. At least on here we are lucky to have Andy Y and the Mods (sounds like a pop group) who will jump on any untoward posts with a large pair of size twelves. Warmest regards, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi Chaps, After some gentle persuasion and arm twisting, the Penhydd and Llangunllo sagas are returning as a website https://luggvalleyrailway.wordpress.com/introduction/ Old and new content is currently being added, but for the time being comments are disabled.

sparky Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 You can rest assured that there is still plenty of life left in Llangunllo yet Don, as for 7mm scale, I'm just dabbling and experimenting for now. Geoff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2019 7mm can be rather addictive. Don 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
