Slate Railways of Wales

My original concept for the Lost Hollow Railway was to base it on a logging theme. However, the more I learn about the narrow gauge slate railways of Wales like the Talyllyn (pictured above) and Ffestiniog Railways, the more I’d like to model them. I rode the Ffestiniog back about 20 years ago but would certainly like to get back to the area again and ride more of them.

I’ve found some slate wagon drawings on the Internet and they look easy enough to scratchbuild in 1:20.3 scale.
