Following the pursuit of others I have now produced a website of my creation. The website is in its infancy and is so far descriptive in detail. A lot has to be added as well as finished and the website will be updated as time allows.

Excellent. I really like it so far. I am looking forward to when you have the pictures filled in. I like the "slate" background.

Nice One Mr. M.

You've done plenty enough to whet my appetite, so I hope I'm not going to have to wait too long to see some more!
(I'll be visiting regularly and nagging you if you don't get adding some stuff!

I suppose ive committed myself now so I will endeavour to keep it up with hopefully no lapses so busy times ahead.

Looks very well made mate, one typo I've noticed is, it should be Croeso, not Croesor in the introduction.

Stew. (reading through your website now)

This weekend the rail inspectors were out and a number of timber sleepers are in need of replacement. 168 ft of rail has been resleepered!

Im not that motivated! lol More ramin on order though it is hard wood to get hold of now banned imports from Malaysia even Brandbright aint got it!

Narrow Minded · Post by **Narrow Minded** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:56 pm

Hmmm, do you think it might also be due to Brandbright "winding down"?

168 scale feet still aint bad, and it's good to see you're getting your mojo back! (nice wagon too

)

Are they winding down ...its a shame the suppliers are struggling. Best to get what you can now b4 its too late.

METHSSNIFFER · Post by **METHSSNIFFER** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:58 pm

Thats winding up not down! Someone on here said Squires had gone bust but there still trading. Further work has continued today on relaying track due to sleeper deterioration the railway is having a rebirth with new planting giving it a refreshed look for 2012 ..

Could be worse, they could be firing the trains in this heat

At least my expansion gaps in this heat will be at their optimum

Well another sunny day and more relaying track commenced and a right hand point built. Dduallt has been totally relaid now as well as the spiral to Rhoslyn bridge. Must crack on whilst the weather is fine Narrow Minded Weather Watch suggests a change for the worse coming soon.

Note the back scenes adourning the gate and shed these are the scenes viewed on the Festiniog taken from photos and painted two years ago. Unusual I know seeing blue skies in North Wales
