Week ending 6th October

Many shoulders to the wheel one Tŷ’n-y-Coedcae on Monday

Paul 🏅🏅made a removable shelf for the Tar Works siding on Tŷ’n-y-Coedcae. The split in the sleepers is a quick conversion from 0 gauge to S7!

Elsewhere Mr Chairman made up sprung inside-bearing units for S7 wheel sets for some wagons and Andrew J ground the old 0 gauge axles out, while LBH attended to some areas that were tight to gauge.

Conversion of this little beauty will have to wait for a few weeks though.

Tuesday’s Talk featured a presentation on Rhobat’s proposed layout. With the aim of keeping it simple and achievable it will be in 00 with a through mainline and a few sidings. It will be called Silstwn and is based on Gileston on the Barry Railway. Following on from that in a similar vein Andrew N ran us through his list of ‘Welsh stations that would make good models’. Then LBH had some additional pics gleaned from the internet.
