Gwenen Almost Deserted

June 2024. One of the points on Gwenen was causing locos to stall on it occasionally. I had to tip the layout on to its' back to get to the underneath of it. This meant that everything that wasn't glued down had to be removed. I took the opportunity to take some photos showing Gwenen almost deserted. I gave the layout a good clean and dust at the same time, and cleaned the trackwork too. The problem with the point was found and sorted.

It's sad to hear about the damaged point and I hope you manage to fix it soon but I have to say that this model railway looks beautiful, this has made me want to build my own 009 gauge model railway at somepoint. It's interesting to see the layout of the track. I love this model railway.

Thanks for your kind comments, glad you like the layout. The point had now been fixed and it's all running properly again.

Some nice shots of your layout there, looking forward to seeing it back up and running... Cheers James 🙂👍

you have a stunning layout there, i had the same issue last year with one of my points luckily i hadn't ballasted the track yet so it wasn't to bad, keep up the good work and i look forward to the next update. Tom

Thanks Tom, glad you like the layout. The problem was a frog juicer which I’ve now replaced.

I absolutely love this layout. I’ve been watching your earlier videos to try and figure out the configuration of the track as I’d love to do something similar in OO. Do you have a diagram of the layout available please?

[@Gwenen-009modelrailway]

Thanks for your kind comments, glad you like my layout. I can't post a picture in a reply as RUclips doesn't allow it, but if you watch this trip round the layout you can see the track plan. There is now a passing loop on the upper level that's not in the video. Let me know if you want any other information and good luck with your layout. ruclips.net/video/d4oE4pQvIxQ/видео.html

Its eerie seeing the place deserted as if aliens had abducted everyone except two men sat on benches. Pleased to see you fixed the point problem though and look forward to seeing more running on this beautiful layout in the not too distant future. One question though, what size is the baseboard for this layout?

[@Gwenen-009modelrailway]

Thanks Andrew, glad you like it. The layout is roughly 5 feet by 2 feet 3 inches.
