EKR Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Agreed It's good to see this again. The timeless air and the subtle colouring make it one of my favourite layouts. A welsh Adlestrop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted September 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's good to see an update. I really enjoyed the recent Llangunllo articles in Railway Modeller, interesting to see how minimal the current version is compared to original but still marvellously atmospheric. A real shame you felt necessary to shut down your blog though; as usual a few idiots ruin things for everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sparky Posted September 9, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2017 Just a quick thank you for all your comments, and likes etc, etc. I'm afraid that I don't spend a lot of time posting on forums, so it might be a while before anything new appears. In the meantime here's a few photos of the old version of Llangunllo, that were taken for my article in MRJ last year, but missed the cut.

Popular Post sparky Posted September 10, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) This selection of photos is of the new Llangunllo, and brings things more or less up to date, so I will disappear for now until I've got something new to share.

Popular Post sparky Posted October 6, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks for your interest in the layout chaps, with it being so small its difficult to keep the photos coming without showing the same old scenes. Nevertheless here are a few more views of the layout, pending the addition of some signal wire pulleys. 4678 is detailed Bachmann model, which has been converted to EM with Ultrascale wheels The allotment huts are the work of my dear friend Iain Robinson, and feature full interior detail, even down to a pin up. Llangunllo is set in the late 1950's, and well off the beaten track. The long grass around the goods yard area, and between the track is slowly being built up with Mininatur static grass fibres. Finally 4678 departs light engine in the direction of Titley Junction 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andrew, the trouble is, with RMweb being so busy as soon as you post something it disappears off the radar, which makes you wonder if its worth posting new stuff at times. Anyway here's a few more to be going on with.......... Geoff Edited October 7, 2017 by sparky 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sparky Posted October 13, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks again for your likes and comments which are very much appreciated. 4678 waits its next turn. The evening parcels gets underway from Llangunllo with 4678 in charge. Earlier in the day 2538 arrived with the pick up goods, and shunted the yard. Finally a Class 121 DMU arrives at Llangunllo with a school service. Geoff 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
