Meifford Light Railway (Paul Willitt)
A selection of images taken from around Meifford and along the line.

Meifford is permanent O-16.5 home layout, which is set somewhere in Wales and traffic is predominantly slate, with daily general goods trains and the occasional passenger train, or quite often, a single carriage attached to the goods service!

From the terminus at Meifford, the line runs at a lower level out past the canal interchange to nearby Lyddiarth (imagined), or takes the steep incline in a cutting from Meifford Junction and out on the upper line to the large town of Llanfyllin.

Both lines actually converge in the off-stage fiddle yard and trains can return on either line. Control, even on this relatively small layout is DCC, using MERG home constructed units. Point control is achieved via servos, which give a very realistic slow movement.

All the buildings on Meifford have been scratch-built, which also extends to all of the windows, doors etc. The slates, seen everywhere on the layout, are real .. cut down and split in the traditional manner from roofing slates! The locomotives in use are mostly modified Smallbrook Studios bodies on Hornby chassis, apart from one Hunslet which was built from a brass kit, a SlimRails diesel body on a homemade chassis and an EDM Townshend Hook! Various goods wagons are in use plus a rake of 10 7mmnga 3-Ton slate wagons, built from kits.

Meifford has been featured in Narrow Lines issues 252, 253 and 264

Mynydd Mawr brick works. Don Mason
Don's return to 7mm modelling was marked by the construction of Mynydd Mawr brick works. This is a standard gauge / narrow gauge model all built to Don's high standard. Whilst the majority of the layout is standard gauge, I am sure it will be an inspiration to anyone modelling a brick works! The photos have been taken, with permission, from Don's Facebook page and they remain his copyright.

Nether End
Some pictures of a small layout 'Nether End' that has been exhibited both on its own and as part of an Association display by Roger Jones of the Surrey Area. It was initially built by Brian Cameron of the Surrey Area and exhibited under a different name. It is a good illustration of a layout in a very small space yet allowing interesting operation. Roger subsequently made a number of changes, it forming a very useful introduction to 7mm narrow gauge. See also a brief piece in the 5th edition of the Association Handbook 'Getting Started in 7mm Narrow Gauge'.

Glanrafon by Frank Sharp
Photos of Glanrafon Quarry North Wales. The huge waste tips are dwarfed by Snowdon. Even more so the seeming huge ex SAR Garrett with its train crossing the bridge in the trees at the bottom left. The North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways ran out of money at South Snowdon the ruins of which are just off picture to the left. Glanrafon quarry had to buy shares in an already bankrupt railway and give them £50 to have the bridge put in!
