Heights aren't the same and Cwm Prysor has two fiddle yards on either end. Edited August 16, 2020 by Hawin Dooiey 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To attempt to join both, would do a disservice to both layouts in my opinion, taking a way the individual feel and identity to each. Cwm Prysor would no longer be a small piece of North Wales, and Ffarquhar wouldn't be the terminus of a branch line in North West Sodor. Model railways (for me) is about creating a small world I can go and escape into. It would all lose that illusion for me. Right.... back to the workbench!

AJW98Productions Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Fantastic work on No.1, Tom! You really captured him well, he looks very smart!

Popular Post Tom F Posted August 25, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Dad's three year anniversary today. Keeping busy working on wagons for a client.
