Yet Another Siding You can never have enough storage room in a fiddle yard.

More fiddling with the fiddle yards on Minffordd….

Seeing Spots The problem of marking uncoupling spots without giving the game away.

How do you mark your uncoupling places?

Youth Training Scheme The importance of helping to keep young people making model railways.

This is not about the electronics but about who was doing it.

Take My Word For It Our new Inspection Saloon's been weathered. No, really, it has.

Weathering so subtle you can’t see it.

Diverted return from an exam at Bletchley?

Missing Pieces Finding out about the things we forgot to put on our model of Minffordd Yard.

A layout is never finished. There’s always something more to add.

That looks terrific. Nothing gained by rushing 😉

Thanks Jim!

Back Burners Is it time to tackle a project which has been sitting in a box for too long?

This is my forgotten modelling project, what’s yours?

Blogiversary Looking back at 16 years of blogging about our FR modelling

A lot has changed since I started writing about our layouts many years ago.

Waiting Its Turn Getting Moelwyn ready for use on Minffordd is still unfinished business

We’re hoping one of our favourites will soon be able to leave its hiding place in the shed and join in the shunting in Minffordd Yard.

Bogie wheelset checks (and changes) have been completed on the ‘Barns’ set to avoid a recurrence of the short circuit issues on the final day of @modelrailscotland.bsky.social - time for some test runs.

Short Circuits = Short Fuses How Himself traced the cause of a mysterious electrical fault on Minffordd

A mystery solved! The bizarre reason for the electrical fault that randomly stopped our FR trains in their tracks.

I’d be divorced if I revealed that 😂

Another landmark number - thanks to everyone who’s followed us since we started this account. It’s been a slow burn but we hope you like what we post, will stick around and encourage others to find us here 🙏

Thank you

A week ago already since the opening of @modelrailscotland.bsky.social doesn’t time fly!

I could quite happily spend the 🌧 Easter weekend playing trains for 8 hours a day….

A Job For The Dukedog At Last An impulse buy solves our problem with the weakling Bachmann Dukedog

The Hitman And Himself Reflections on our prize-winning weekend at Model Rail Scotland

48 hours later some notes on a very big surprise, and a look at some of the layouts which impressed me in Glasgow this weekend.

A subtle rebrand.

After a wonderful weekend in Glasgow I think perhaps the young upstart has come of age and deserves equal billing with the big brother.

Incidentally, we just need to find another 8 Followers for us to hit 300

The trains now arriving at Minffordd….change here for all stations to Pwllheli and Tan y Bwlch

We were delighted to provide our friends at @rapidotrains.co.uk a chance to let ‘Diana’ stretch her wheels on Minffordd.

Next stop Porthmadog - your next chance to see Minffordd running will be on 16-17 May at Y Ganolfan. See you there?
