After 4 months of immobility as a result of breaking my
ankle, I was at last able to drive the car again, so to celebrate the return of
at least some mobility, my son and I headed up for a weekend in North Wales,
which coincidently was at the same time as the 2nd Welsh Highland
Great and Small weekend based on Dinas station. Outdoors there were all sorts
of attractions including footplate rides, slate wagon shunts and Victorian
train rides; whilst on the main line there were shuttle services between Dinas,
Caernarfon and Waunfawr as well as the Welsh Highland service trains. In the
goods shed and hidden around various other small rooms were 14 narrow gauge
layouts, mostly Ffestiniog or Welsh Highland themed, with 12 of the 14 being in
4mm scale. Great stuff and a great event! I made the journey home with
indelible memories and will certainly return to North
Wales sometime soon!
