The Two Towers

No, we’re not dragging you off to Middle Earth, but showing a comparison between two water towers, both intended to portray Brecon and Merthyr prototypes. On the left is a printed resin one for Cwmcarno and on the right, the example on Llanastr, which is made up from individually carved plasticard stones (which took yonks to make).

As well as train/track testing Luke mocked up the bridges for on Cwmcarno, while MrC sorted out the Dingham couplings on two coaches that will represent the Newport – Brecon train.
And LBH finally erected Llanastr on its own frame.

The Newport – Brecon service was either two or three coaches, more often three. The two seen here fit into the short Cwm Carno platform better.
