NWNGR extension plans?

[Joe]

Hi, I am quite interested in the ideas originally had by the NWNGR to build a railway to corwen via betws y coes and pentrefoelas. I was wondering if anybody knew how far this plan got and wether any station plans or architecture plans were made as i think it would be nice to model one of those "what if....." scenarios. Also if anyone know of any good related books please let mew know.
cheers

There are some photos of work around Beddgelert of which was started but never used in Boyd's "Narrow Gauge Railways in South Caernarvonshire". You can still see parts of an embankment and a bridge south of Beddgelert.

Hi Joe,

I'll have a look in some books when I can find them... As far as track plans and station designs go though I don't think you could go far wrong by adopting the designs they did get round to using - the slate and yellow brick architecture is very distinctive.

Are you thinking of adapting your Dduallt theme? I'd have thought there were still years worth of fun to be had there before moving on to the NWNGR?!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew , thanks for that , no I'm sticking with my ddualt theme but I'm quite interested in the planned route that the NWNGR had as i believe it would have gone past a number of places I have fond memories of spending time in my childhood. I don't think it would hurt squeezing in the odd NWNGR themed building here and there though on my line , I've recently acquired a kit for the ip engineering Gladstone coach which I had previously tried to resist buying
Cheers

I've seen deposited plans, but nothing further.
