Home_Signal Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi all, i'm racking my brains trying to think of the name of a layout that appeared in BRM in the last few years: The characteristics are: Set in the welsh valleys Pre-grouping era Finescale Lots of buildings and cuttings, I seem to remember in the text the author described being in charge at an exhibition and drawing filthy looks for sorting the wagons wrongly for the different valleys. It was a very impressive layout!!! Can anyone help?!?! Regards Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted September 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2012 I'm blanking on the name unfortunately, but I'm fairly sure the layout you're thinking of is 7mm, if that's any help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Simon I recall a layout of this gauge and description called "Ynysybwl Fach", (literally pronounced as UN IS A Bull VARK) could this be the layout? It was based around a South Wales coal mine and was pre-grouping. I don't have the magazine to check, but I do recall seeing it in the "flesh" and as you say it was an impressive layout.
