Llechwedd Quarry narrow gauge electric diorama

Another overhead electric industrial system was at Llechwedd Slate Quarry, where steam locomotives were converted to electric operation. Again, my model uses printed parts, working from old photographs.

The slate sheds with rubbish and slab wagons and a red powder wagon in the distance

 

 

The distinctive quarry trackwork was interesting to design and print - note the stub points.
