The layout is divided into three modules of 100×40cm. Total size is 360×140cm with slide.
Its construction was described in the french review [...]
Rhyd is a 014 gauge model built by David John of a fictitious (and highly improbable) branch off the Ffestiniog Railway. Any similarity to the village of the same name is purely accidental.

The diorama during Expométrique, on 2009 at Richelieu!

Update. Sadly Carl Arendt passed away on Friday March 4, 2011. See comments for further details.

Here we have some photos that may be of interest to the group, some detail pics of Dinorwic pointwork and one of my own made to 14mm gauge ready for the dummy lever and motorising. Made from some old copperclad sleepers (yet to be slit for wiring) and some N gauge rail. I am not [...]
