- Rheilffordd Coed y Bleiddiau is a freelance narrow gauge model railway in 009 scale, set in North Wales.
More information and photos of the layout can be found on the website: fortheloveofsteam.weebly.com/...
The boards were originally started in the 1970s, then brought back out and finished in the 1990s. This video was shot in summer 2008, shortly before the layout was dismantled. Most of the stock and buildings have since found a new home on a new layout named Cuckoo Junction. There is a video of the 009 section of this layout here: • 009 Narrow Gauge on Cu...
All the locos sadly ceased to run, although the four whitemetal kit locos have now been restored for occasional service on my new layout Rheilfford Ceunant y Ddraig, currently under construction. There is a video of the restoration here: • Restoring old Whitemet...
The locos seen are:
No 9 'Beddgelert'
No 10 'Gowrie'
These are the original 2 locos from the 1970s, and are rebuilds of the Joeuf decauville loco.
No 1 'Talyllyn' - Meridian Models kit on Ibertren chassis
No 2 'Dolgoch' - GEM kit on Arnold chassis
The other 2 locos which had ceased to run before this video was shot were:
'Charles' - (Parkside) Dundas kit on Ibertren chassis
'Prince' - Langley kit on Ibertren chassis
There was also a small unpowered Pug-bash 0-4-0ST used for static display.
Your so good at making models can’t wait to see your next layout
Thanks. This one was actually built by my Dad. His current layout is a 00 gauge mainline with short 009 gauge feeder. I'm hoping to get some film of it to upload sometime this year.
I'd like to see an Ifor the Engine layout
Great video lots of detail.Take care.
Thanks, I know I've had many happy hours running trains on this line when I was younger
@@FortheLoveofSteam Great and thanks very much for replying to my comment. My new video out now.Hope you like and share.Take Care & Stay Safe.
Where did you get/make the locos that look like Dolgoch and Tal-y-llyn? Love the layout btw!
Thanks! Dolgoch is a whitemetal kit by GEM running on an Arnold 0-6-0 chassis (with the centre axle removed). Talyllyn is a (now long discontinued and hard to find) whitenetal kit by Meridian on an Ibertren 0-4-0 chassis.
Probably the best way of making them now would be the various conversion kits (Narrow Planet or various Shapeways offerings) on the Bachmann Skarloey and Rheneas models
I love the name Coed y Bleiddiau. In English it means "Forest of the Wolves". There is a house called Coed y Bleiddiau which sits right alongside the Ffestiniog Railway in north Wales a mile or so from the station at Tan y Bwlch. In my youth I used to be a postman in the area and I used to deliver mail to Coed y Bleiddiau. Your layout has captured the spirit of the area. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)
You're right, the layout was indeed named after that cottage next to the Ffestiniog... in fact that is actually the location where my current profile picture was taken! Thanks for your comment, I bet it must have been fun getting post to such a remote location!
@@FortheLoveofSteam Nice one! It was fun goin up to Coed y Bleiddiau. I had to leave the van at the end of the track and then a 20 minute round trip by foot to the house. It kept me honest. All the best :-)
Great video.. Thanks for sharing.. 👍😎👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
