- The top end of the layout, a Roy Link Hudson 0-6-0 WT in the course of being coaled and watered before it returns up the quarry tramway.

- The other end of the layout, David Lloyd George is about to couple up to his train. Vale of Ffestiniog dwarfs an Ashbury coach in the back siding.
-
- Pure KBscale, the ‘Flying Bedstead’ runs into Rhyd from the quarry.
-
- The gravity train runs through Rhyd. Leaving the passengers for the next train so bemused they fail to notice Marilyn Munroe watching from the footbridge.

- The gravity train again, running alongside the tumbling Afon Swllt.

- The local lads play Pooh sticks while the Hudson shunts the yard. The slate yard is just visible over the open wagon.
