FESTINIOG ODYSSEY By Nick Welch The story of the creation of a remarkable model railway. In gestation for over thirty years, the 4mm scale layout described is a faithful representation of the renowned Festiniog Railway in North Wales. Modelled to a scale of 4mm to the foot, the layout depicts the line as it would have appeared in the early Summer of 1926. Of interest to modellers in all scales and gauge combinations, the lively text describes the techniques developed and employed by the author as he progressed, year by year. Fully illustrated with colour photographs and diagrams, no part of construction is omitted. Besides the layout as a whole, the buildings, locomotives, rolling stock and even the ships in the harbour are described in detail. Narrow Gauge modelling pioneer and creator of the legendary 'Craig & Mertonford', P D Hancock says: "More and more people are constructing models of real locations, but not many of them are as ambititious as Nick Welch - who has endevoured, in a series of linked dioramas, to recreate the atmosphere of the two foot gauge Festiniog Railway in North Wales. I personally think that he has done this magnificently"
