Ffrwd Locks station from the level crossing. Probably late 1930s.  A GWR goods train arriving from Croes Newydd yard behind a 2721 class pannier tank loco.

Ffrwd Locks station and a GWR Passenger service from Wrexham General, viewed from the Shropshire Union Canal Aqueduct. Probably taken around the same date as the above.

A very Happy New Year to everyone.

 

My first contribution for 2017 sees a Sulzer vs EE face-off, with EE edging it 3-1...

As always stunning pictures that really hit the spot.

 

A superb layout and we need to be organising a visit to the Modelrail Scotland show for you.

 

On a serious note if this is of interest please pm me.

 

Thanks

 

Dave.

Now, I really want to know what's on those bill boards Dave.

 

 

Andrew..you really posed me a problem there!

 

I trawled through the many hundreds of images we have of the layout because although i must have looked at it hundreds of times I couldn't remember.

 

The billboards on the opposite side at the garage always seem to be favoured in photographs.

 

However..patience rewarded and found the answer!

Looks like someone else has the Posters from a model railway magazine....I think it may have been Model Rail, with details of how to make suitable hoardings?
