BRIAN T Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 And size isn't everything ! (The best things come in small packages) . Brian R When I,m asked the dimensions of the layout in future I'm going to say it's the width of 3 large older human beings.Brian always takes the best side of me 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRIAN T Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 We Turks are masters of understatement.. Just one question- what's the yellow-coated figure at the top of the retaining wall doing? I can't decide if he's sitting on the telegraph cable or indulging in some form of exhibitionism... Can't you see the Practika 35mm camera at waist height.....shame on you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hello Brian, l must say l thought the layout was much bigger than it really is, l am amazed at the detail you have added in something so small, really cracking bit of modelling, George..

ianwales Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hello Brian I just found this thread, fantastic modelling of a scene I can't quite remember. I was born in Merthyr, but, we lived in a flat behind the TUF shoe shop in Abercynon where my dad was the manager and he used to take me for walks most days to the shed. Anymore exhibition appearances in the near future? Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Bathurst Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi Brian How do you find the atlas turntable to use in the fiddle yard? Also is the fiddle yard a separate board or in 1 piece? Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIAN T Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi Brian How do you find the atlas turntable to use in the fiddle yard? Also is the fiddle yard a separate board or in 1 piece? Scott hiThe turntable has a simple handcrank and works fine as long as the tracks are level and spot on in line. It is located on the same board as the scenic section. Hope this answers your question Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRIAN T Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 With this wonderful September weather , I took the opportunity to Take my 2 portable layouts Abercynon Fach and Moose Creek out into the garden for a photo session in some wonderful daylight conditions, Quite a few of the locos don,t quite belong at Abercynon Fach ,but it does not really bother me as its my layout ......ha ha. This upload is very photo intensive so i hope you enjoy. Moose Creek ( for those into the Canadian scene is on its own thread.
