Must have a look around the show first. Got some visiting operators and @Old Gringo on the layout.

Popular Post peter220950 Posted April 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 Believe it or not these events are planned, and it was interesting to look back at an early exchange of messages last year when I suggested I bring our Club layout. Now I've just checked and it virtually fits, so I have set it up, Andy is due to take some pictures, and we might even get to see what he does in the day job. 28 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Captain Kernow Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 Bethesda Sidings Sorry I'm a bit late to this today, I've been busy with trying to cram 50 pasties and a large piece of chicken & ham pie in the freezer various domestic duties. 'Bethesda Sidings' is my latest layout and the full story can be found here on my layout thread - It began as a project to encourage my re-emerging modelling mojo a few years ago and whilst it was entered in the Cameo Layout Competition, it was actually conceived just prior to that. So, where is 'Bethesda Sidings' meant to be? It's in Mid-Wales, in the former county of Radnorshire and close to the English border. It's a 'might have been', based on actual Victorian aspirations to extend the New Radnor branch towards the Welsh coast, one of the schemes running via Rhayader, which was a real station on the former Mid-Wales line: The terrain, through the upland area known as the Radnor Forest, is unforgiving and gradients would have been considerable. My supposition is that the line was built as far as Rhayader, but no further, with a link to the Central Wales line at Gunstone, just north of Llandrindod Wells. Capel Bethesda is the only place on the above map that doesn't exist (well, not in that location, anyway). It was also the junction for the outrageously improbably Vale of Radnor Light Railway, which ran up to Llanddewi, where a military stores depot was established in later years. Due to space considerations in the narrow valley, the goods yard for Capel Bethesda was built on land a few hundred yards away and accessed via a short branch: Simplified after withdrawal of passenger services in November 1962: Actual track plan of the layout itself: As such, the layout can be considered 'goods only'. Operations consist of local goods services working in from Leominster and Kington, with some exchange traffic with the light railway, which latterly was mostly military stores. Light railway locos were permitted, post-1962, to run directly to the goods yard, hence you'll see the VoRLR's ex-LNER J72 'Jennifer' in one of the sequences and the light railway's 'Planet' diesel in another. First, a typical BR goods working: This next sequence features more light railway interchange with BR and was filmed on my older camera. Andy Y kindly stitched the separate sequences together for me and added the music (thanks Andy!): Finally, a diesel sequence set in the mid-1960s: 41 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Tony Teague Posted April 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 Following my initial post, here is a bit more about Wadleys Brewery, together with those of Andy York's pictures (excepting the first one) that were not used in the BRM article - with his permission of course: Along with some other industrail buildings, Wadleys occupies a corner of the layout neatly hiding one of those 90 degree curves that I was not keen to see. I took photographs of the old Ridley's brewery in Faversham, Kent and sent them to Geoff Taylor who modelled the buildings to fit the space available and although each building is a scale model, the brewery overall is a pastiche of the original; nevertheless anyone who knows Faversham will recognise the buildings. The model railway within which the brewery sits, Stowe Magna & Churminster, is set in the Southern Railway of 1938 - 1948 at an imaginary location in the south of England, which gives me some flexibility as to locomotives, stock and liveries: Geoff had previously modelled Churminster Station for me, which is a scale model of Honiton Station, and also I used the experience to try to learn from his approach and to acquire some skills in the scratch-building of acrchitectural models myself; I have since managed to produce 3 or 4 of the other main buildings required on the layout to a reasonable quailty. The railway interest within the brewery is limited to the single private siding which handles delivery of supplies, such as hops, barrells etc, and the collection of product for distribution; the layout is 4mm OO gauge and DC controlled. On leaving the brewery the private siding crosses an access road into Churminster Goods Yard where it runs along the back of the Goods Shed where it connects with other sidings. Having exhausted my supply of Andy's images I may return later with a few of my own. Tony 48 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
