Tuesday evening we met here at Llechryd, without Charles, unfortunately, as he was recovering from a bit of a health problem. Hopefully he will be able to join us next week.
We finally sorted out the Crymmych Arms layout - for those not familiar with Crymych (modern spelling) this was what the station looked like in its hayday:

Putting the track plan down on paper to the scale that we want was quite involved, but hopefully it is going to work out - this time we want to have a continuous layout, or a 'roundy-roundy' in technical terminology.

Here's our planned configuration of the station:

What isn't shown are the loops at each end that will take the track around the back of the station and form a fiddle yard behind the backscene. I already had timber in the garage in readiness, so yesterday made up the three boards that we require.
9mm ply wood, screwed and glued to 19 x 44mm frame work. Hopefully I will varnish them today to seal the timber, and then next week we should be able to start laying track. Actually it will be Pat and Colin laying track - I'm rubbish at it!
These are the boards - total size when put together, the layout will be 7' long by 2'6" deep.

Finally one more old photo of Crymych to finish.
(That station building is all of 2" high in 'N' gauge. I'm dreading trying to model that!)

Off to exhibit the Teifi Gorge layout at the Hermon Model Show on Sunday in the Hermon Community Hall. Come along if you are in the area!
