An imaginary branch running from Dinas junction to the quarries of Pennygroes and Nantlle
About
Just suppose the Nantlle tramway was retained to Carnarvon and reguaged to 2'. Taken over by the Welsh Highland to link Portmadoc with Carnarvon and then taken over by the Festiniog. Closed in 1937 allong with the rest of the Welsh Highland and reopened in the 21st century. It now enjoys Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railway vintage trains and the occasional through trains from Porthmadog and beyond. That's the fantacy anyway.

The Railway
Currently this is very much work in progress. First trains ran in early April and as the pictures show, there is still an awful amount to do. The first phase is a simple loop with two stations, Penygroes and Nantlle. The main works, carriage shed and engine shed is situated at Nantlle with Penygroes having a small goods yard and passing loop.Phase two will be a branch off the circuit to one of Nantlle's quarries, but this is for the future.

The Locomotives
The railway has a fleet of four steam locos and numerous diesels. All the steam locos are from the well known manyfacturers but with small additions to make them a little more pleasing to my eye. All the diesels bar the Bagluey and Cnict, are scratch built

Article 1
Slate facing has been added to the embankments at the Penygroes end. The facing also gives the bridge a better support. A cliff face has been added behind the line to hide an obvious, unsightly bit. The result is quite Ffestiniogesque. Taliesin can be seen with a modern FR train negotiating the latest section to have detailing work carried out
