This is a little route I've been making for a while now, on and off, and I've decided I want to show off a bit. It's called the Vale of Gochwyn railway, it's 2ft gauge (of course!) and it's based in north Wales. It's my best route yet, I think! I'm not getting over-ambitious with it, unlike all my old ones. I'm also keeping the textures toned down, and adding much more shrubbery.
It's a simple NG line built around 1918, to take goods and people between two small towns. This route is designed to show the (fictitious) line in it's dying years (note the missing siding!), the late 50s. Soon all the the locos and stock will be sold or put into storage and the rails torn up. In the 2000s, it shall be restored, but it'll never be the same as it was in it's glory days.
The locos are all avaliable on 24ngtrainzers.webs.com, and 'Gwen' even has a custom cab! I'll be putting this there too when it's done.
This is it so far:
0-4-4t 'Gwen' sizzles in the station with an up passenger train, whilst 'Popinjay' and 'Dylan' shunt the sidings in the background.
The (invisible
) signal drops, and the train proceeds to make it's way up the line. A resident petrol-mechanical resides in a siding in the foreground.
A typical stretch of line... (there are hillier bits and forest bits planned...)
Level crossing...
More countryside...
