We had a very successful time with the Teifi Gorge layout at the West Wales Model Railway exhibition in Llwyncelyn on Sunday - the modules went together perfectly, and in record time. Operations went well, and we were delighted when Mike from Llangadog turned up and took over a controller for an hour or two.
A good exhibition, with a nice cross-section of all gauges from N through to G.

That was Sunday. Today is Wednesday, which means last night was ChufferDuffers!
We met here at Ty-Nant, and after Pat and I told the other two all about the exhibition we set to with various tasks.
Several of our readers are under the misguided impression that all we do on Tuesday nights is sit around drinking and eating cheese and pizzas... here is proof to the contrary!






A rare picture of everyone diligently working at various tasks. (for a while, anyway)

It didn't last!


All too soon we tired of manual labour, and settled down to more serious stuff.


 Proof that something was achieved though can be seen in the mess left on the hobby bench:


In the foreground is one of the stock modules that will go at each end of the Login board, for storing a variety of locomotives and rolling stock that would have been used back when the Cardigan to Whitland branch line was in full swing.
Pete Towns, the owner of Login Station already has the engines and stock - all he needs is a layout to run them on...


Work is progressing on it though, albeit slowly!
A couple of comparison pictures to finish that show some of the characters from historic photographs







Thats it for this week folks, thanks for dropping in.
Shaun.

  1. I really like the copying of actual characters from photos. Makes it seem more interesting. Do you post the photos on an information board, or point it out at all?

  2. Hi Joppy.
    The Login layout will be on permanent show at Login Station, where Peter the owner has a small museum devoted to the Cardi-Bach and Login in particular, with all the photos on display. as well as artifacts and memorabilia. Well worth a visit.
