BR(M) days on the Bala Hub
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2007 10:26 am
A few shots from activities that i am developing for the bala hub CD re-release. The route is the original still, but some scenery items will have to be changed before relase, but these activities will use the same track layout etc and use the new stock. Activities are split between BR(W) 1948-1961, BR(M) 1962-3 (post 1948 on the Vale) and GWR/ LMS (Vale of Clywyd) (pre1948).
Anyway here are some Midland region shots of trains on the Ruabon-Barmouth line set in 1962-3ish
Firstly a Barmouth-Ruabon stopper with an Ivatt
Rolling into Barmouth Junction

Crossing the Dolgelley shuttle at Penmaenpool

A Bala town to Wrexham train with an Ivatt tank, rolls into Bala Junction

Crossing a freight off the Vale of Clywyd at Corwen


Crossing another stopper at Glyndyfrdywy

standing at Llangollen

Now a Birkenhead-Barmouth semi with a standard 4 4-6-0
Crossing a freight at Carrog (the panniers stayed on though BR(M) days on pick up freights.

A freight waits at Corwen to head off towards Denbigh

Bala junction

Crossing a stopper at Llanwuchylyn

and a semi at Dolgelley

A stopper up the Vale of Clywyd iun the 1950s
as we draw into Corwen a Wrexham-Bala auto awaits departure

and we cross a Corwen bound stopper at Ruthin.

There's many more to come yet from all eras.....................
