Whilst on holiday I was lucky enough to visit 2 16mm lines, TonyW's Bryn Tydden Light Railway and the Moel-Y-Guest Light Railway.
Bryn Tydden Light Railway
Image
Moelwyn with FfR vans 4 and 5 at the main station. The repaint was just about completed before the holiday but the loco still needs finishing off
Image
Moelwyn in flying flea mode on the viaduct with Paul's bug boxes
Image
Dolwydellanlightrailway's Edrig in black with his two carriages passes the shed
Image
And then with a proper length train, which it coped with pretty easily
Image
Paul's Lady Anne now fitted with a whistle
Image
Taliesin with 5 of my carriages out in the front garden
Image
Finally a (nearly) full FfR train again with Taliesin and Linda on the viaduct

Moel-Y-Guest Light Railway
Image
Urien and Alicia on shed
Image
Urien and the Flying flea at the new terminus
Image
Disaster narrowly averted... :roll:
Image
The 2 red Lady Annes
Image
Locolines Vale of Ffestiniog from another visitor. This had working lights and despite its size went round the R1 curves
Image
Paul's Linda in the woods as dusk decends
Image
Linda passes the Funkey

Back on shed again in the late evening
Many thanks to Tony and Paul for letting me visit your lines once again, it was much appreciated :)

Very nice set of pics, thanks for sharing your holiday snaps!
Great looking Ffr rake and the "Two red Lady Annes" is a nice pose.

Is the Locolines Funkey owner on the Forum? (If not, why not?!) looks like they've done a nice job!

And yes Thanks to TonyW for allowing us to go play trains at his place, sadly i didnt get any footage whatsoever!

My line I did get a bit of footsage of something rather specail! Not many other lines can boast of doing this (properly!) I can only think of one other.

Chuffed to bits. unfortunatley they dont last very long with the size of the batteries in them but they do look great whilst they are on!
