WHAT MAKES IT INNOVATIVE?

This is one of those layout where you instantly know where it is. Obviously, the distinctive spiral plays an important part but it’s the attention to getting key Ffestiniog detail correct that makes this layout special. Rob and David worked hard to recreate key landscape colours and textures, but it’s the trains that really catch the eye. At the time of construction, ready-to-run ‘OO9’ was just a pipe dream, yet they’ve managed to model all the FR’S famous locomotives and coaches, through a combination of kit and scratchbuilding. And as the FR has introduced new stock, so David and Rob have kept pace, building 4mm replicas of Lynton & Barnstaple 2-6-2T Lyd, not to mention all the stock used on the FR’S sister railway, the Welsh Highland.
