Sufficiently intrigued by Martin K’s work on his linear motor based model. I decided to see if I still have the abilities to work in these tiny scales. The attached video outlines a few musings about what I plan to do, and gives a quick introduction to the teeny trains system that will form the basis of the model. A test track first, using a Basic teeny trains set and some simple scratch built  locomotives and coaches to run on it. 

If successful this could lead to something like a section of Aberglaslyn pass or Cei Mawr in an APA Box. We’ll see...

Lest anyone thinks I’m bluffing with my plans for a 1:305 scale model of the Festiniog Railway. Here’s a proof of concept study of the double Fairlie “Little Wonder” made from sections of styrene rod and strip. I think this is do-able.

"Little Wonder" indeed - amazing!

As it seems like another new model railway project is taking off I’ve decided to give the old blog that I started about 7 years ago a new lease of life. Follow the attempts to recreate the Ffestiniog Railway in 1:305 scale at https://nanomodelrr.blogspot.com That’s where all the detailed information on my madness will be. I’ll link to it through here of course. But there will be lots of ‘exclusives” and stuff you won’t see here over there as time progresses.
