The End of a Weekend of Trains!

Moel Rhos No. 3 emerges from the tunnel in the Easter Monday evening sun and toots her newly radio controlled whistle.

Thanks everyone for your photos this weekend (almost 50 posts comprising over 130 pictures!) it’s been wonderful seeing them all. Posting is closed for now, but the site remains open for viewing.

If, as seems likely, we’re still in lockdown – shall we do this again for the VE Day Bank Holiday weekend 8-10 May?

my sm32 weekend

Hi Simon,

not a garden railway but to show what I have been doing over the holiday weekend. This is a shunting puzzle layout I’m working on in sm32 and over the last three days I have ballasted the track, there is some colour variation as the furthest away board has quite wet glue still. Peter and Julie have seen the pre-ballast stage as I took the layout to the group they attend in Carmarthen before the lockdown. I intend to bring it along to a group session when we are allowed to play trains together again. Will also send a picture of it with the rolling stock I’ve been working on once I can get it cleaned up from gluing.

Best wishes,

Phil.

RVOM: Excavations to continue the walkway alongside the track. When the 60 ft length is dug a shelf needs to follow for the track to sit on. Eventually I hope to reach the derelict buildings in the background. (But not this year!)
