After browsing this months Railway Modeller and seeing Geoff's article on "Penhydd", I just had to sit down with a cup of tea and give it a read. "Penhydd" is something I and I'm sure many of you have followed over the past years, apart from its excellent modeling the feel of the way it just all blends together with its sloping landscape and curve, just does that something different from the norm.
After reading the article, it got me thinking about my layout "Morfa Mawr", the modelling is not to the same standard and it probably doesn't have that same feel, but again its a tranquil outpost in Wales.
"Morfa Mawr" is set in West Wales near Aberath, on the coastal route from Aberaeron to Aberystwyth in the late 1960's early 1970's. Although the station is a through route it only has one fiddle yard at the Southern end (Aberaeron), or as the railways preferred to spell it, Aberayron. The idea to run through would be nice but the length of a second fiddle yard constrains this. The scenic section is 8' x 18" wide with a 4' fiddle yard board.
Most of you will of seen this already, but its always nice to revisit a bit of WR activity. Now how can I have a room like "Penhydd" where I can just sit and play trains.
