Snowdon NWNGR 
Peter Booth 1:38 scale
This layout portrays the 2 foot narrow gauge railway at Rhyd Ddu, the southern terminus of the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways' line from Dinas. As exhibited today it is viewed from the West looking towards Snowdon summit.
As with my earlier Dinas layout, the intention has always been to model everything virtually from scratch. The track is spiked to wooden sleepers in the prototypical manner, the ballast being produced from crushed slate. The locomotives operated on the layout are constructed from nickel silver and brass, based on the manufacturers' original drawings. Coaches and wagons are constructed from wood, nickel silver or plasticard on brass/nickel silver underframes.
Stonework on the buildings has been produced by building up layers of Polyfilla onto a scribed plaster base, the resulting textured finished being painted in water colours. The corrugated iron for the sheds and roofs was produced from Slater's sheet, suitably trimmed and pinned. The backscene is from a panoramic photograph taken at Rhyd Ddu station in 2017.
