Hello! This is a new blog just for my model railway, named Tŷ Bach. Ty Bach is Welsh for small house, but is used as a slang term for a toilet (a small house being an outhouse where the toilet would've traditionally been).
Bit of information about the layout;
The scale is 009, with 9mm track being used to represent 2ft gauge narrow gauge
The location is loosely based upon Dinorwic Slate Quarry in Llanberis, North Wales.
The layout is on a 2x4ft board as I'm going to be moving house soon and need it to be portable. No plans to exhibit yet, but it'd certainly be easy to move in and out of exhibits. I'm my biggest critic though, and doubt it's good enough for an exhibit, so it'll likely just remain as something to do in my free time.
Anyways, this blog will be a bit of a record of progress on the layout, and a bunch of plans and measurements from the prototypes in Dinorwic, and anything else model railway related!
