A 009 narrow gauge model railway of Rhyd Ddu. The project was born in late 2005. This blog describes the planning, woodwork, track laying, wiring, DCC, scenery, locomotive and rolling stock. The layout is an impression of the Welsh Highland Railway (WHR) Rhyd Ddu station and Tro Ffridd reverse curves. 009 is 4mm scale (OO) narrow gauge using N gauge track.

Carriage painting
Some more painting of carriages today – the bugs are looking good with the green/red done and the interiors in wood colour… 117 has progressed from primer, right through to red/ivory with black ends and the Pickering I built is nopw grey with black details. The other two carriages are refurbs from the late Ben Fisher’s collection – the NWNGR workmens carr, now with interior fitted and another Pickering brake in green.

Those bug boxes are impressive! What paints did you use for them as the colours look pretty spot on!
Cheers

A MIX OF BRUNSWICK AND MALACHITE GREENS. ENDS WERE A MIX OF RAILMATCH RUST AND A RED OF SOME KIND. acrlyics are easy to mix and make trials with!
