Welcome
Life really is too short. There are so many railway locations I would love to model in my lifetime, a few of which I’ve visited in the past month. Tunstead quarry would make a magnificent – if slightly dystopian – setting among the verdant hills of the Peak District, especially if a layout could effectively recreate the sinister noises and dry heat emitted from the lime kilns.
From Derbyshire, I headed to mid ‐Wales for a visit to the Vale of Rheidol railway (see page 6) and a short break. With Borth station nearby, I used the railway to head into Aberystwyth and explore further afield, albeit with the limitations brought about following the tragic crash near Llanbrynmair.
