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?

Here are some pictures from our Easter weekend running sessions on the line.
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.
Having defeated the large brown bear, Benne finally gets his eggs back and shows them off in celebration with the other members of the cast: “Bear” and Arfa.

Members of the North West Wales group may know that I don’t have a garden layout (no back garden !) just an oval test track around the backyard. It was originally built for American 0 Scale 12V DC operation, but with some adjustment and removal of points it will now take 16mm scale live steam. Hope you enjoy this video:

After returning from his flying visit to a salt mine, Benne suddenly remembered that he’d hidden his 12 Golden Eggs in the haunted mine. Unfortunately, a very large brown bear had taken up residence. So, Benne sets out to catch the bear…

I have also been trying out my old Baguley and vans.
Stay Safe.
