Morfa - Victory from the jaws of defeat
Some of you won't need this, but some might, so here's a cut and paste from my blog that describes my favourite waste of time.
' I've been looking back through the blog and it appears that I've not made mention of my big trainset. I've either been very lucky or very good but the fate has smiled upon me in the shape of a large playroom which I'm free to fill with toys. In it I'm building a model of Morfa Mawddach, the junction of the Cambrian Coast and Dolgellau lines. Actually I'm building a part fact, part fiction version of the station; I might at some time be persuaded to divulge the back story but for now all you need to know is that I can cherry pick the bits I like and conveniently ignore those I don't. '
Morfa has been on hold for several months whilst I've concentrated on some narrow gauge projects and whipping our cottage into shape for holiday letting. Looking back it started to stall due to difficulties caused by its reorientation in my playroom; thanks to a trip on the train up the real Cambrian Coast yesterday I can see a way past these problems, so more about my big toy should appear fairly soon.
