Mike's 'Fairlie good idea' draws to its conclusion and the Hornby Magazine team complete building the new narrow gauge model railway. Join Mike Wild and Richard Watson as they embark on the 'quick' project to model a Ffestiniog theme narrow gauge model railway layout inspired by the arrival of Bachmann's first ever ready-to-run 'OO9' Double Fairlie 0-4-4-0T in just 8ft x 2ft 6in.

Great Video Mike and Richard, Mike your modelling is 1st class

Nice layout. I would however make one addition. On the shed side there is a route off the circuit but no corresponding route back on to the circuit. I would suggest extending the shortest siding until it meets the main circuit and add a set of points.

Excellent video, demonstrating how quickly a really effective layout can go together in no time. Nice showcase for the new products as well. To add a totally unnecessary but obsessive comment: The Fairlie should be the other way round if simulating a FR service as they position the small box coaches immediately behind the loco (as you have), on services heading up to Blaenau Ffestiniog. In that case the driver is on the left so the coal bunkers should be on the right when facing forwards. Sorry, had to get that off my chest!

Cracking layout, interesting build too. You've achieved what you set out to achieve 👍👍 That water tank water (on the Engine Shed) is crying out to be made a dark glossy green colour though - not turquoise like the Mediterranean 👍😄😄 I think that the layout concept works really well and you've done a remarkable job, and depending on time and inclination, as you say, drop or open top baseboards in key areas would look fab👍😊

A really great project which you need congratulating for. It really does capture the Festiniog railway very well indeed. Having lived in Merioneth for ten years I would only really add a few little signature features like Rhododendrons, Gorse and maybe if there were room, a disused Welsh chapel. Great work Mike and Richard

Great video as ever gents. I really like what you've done with the grass and building up all the textures, definitely got a Welsh kinda feel to it. I like that powder stuff (forgot the name of it) you used in the shed and yard scenes, think I'll have to give it a try on my layout when I get chance. What a fun little layout you've got to play with now though, hours of fun. Keep up the great work as ever and see you on the next one Cheers James

@lapiswake6583 2 жыл бұрын

Looks good. Glad you brought up the fact that the Ffesty is right-hand running, so the ground signals are wrong (not to mention, the Ffesty's signals are completely different). I am tempted to use a baseboard kit to make a 009 layout at my girlfriend's now. If only a double fairlie in 009 wasn't more expensive than a dapol 08 in 0.

When I saw the grass and turf on the track in siding at about 16:40 I thought you may have left it giving the effect the very end of the siding is little used

One huge advantage of modelling a narrow gauge railway is the curves. On many layouts, even at exhibition standard, the curves still look too tight and longer locos/stock just don't look right. Watch a class 40, or a pacific, on Topley Dale and space restrictions can force that "train set(ish)" appearance. On the Ffestiniog layout, the curves look natural and the stock doesn't look out-of-place on them. The layout may be fairlie small but, for less than a week's work, it looks f̸a̸i̸r̸l̸i̸e̸ pretty impressive.👍😁

@exveefan 2 жыл бұрын

Beautifully made layout. :-D But the ground signals look out of place to me. :-\ Maybe the LEDs need to be more dimmer or something. I don't know, they just don't look right for some reason.

Lovely layout, captures the essence of the Ffestiniog Railway, it has inspired me to build my first model railway layout, everything going fine at the moment, although struggling to build a Slate Mountain which is an absolute must for any Welsh Railway, how do you get the slate/rocks to stick to an almost vertical embankment? any tips would be much appreciated.

I have a Good Idea at what Bachmann can do. Make more types of Fairlies. Their is already modern Double Fairlies, why not make older Fairlies. Their is already the 1879 Merddin Emrys. Why not the 1872 James Spooner, or the Little Wonder. I just like the older designs.

@300bhpton 2 жыл бұрын

The layout looks great. But oddly it is the loco and plastic looking carriages that sort of irk me. They seem far inferior in terms of "high fidelity" compared to the scenery and buildings.

Bachmann Hunslet. For any one interested on the Bachmann news page they are now giving a release date of early 2023. There have been so many proposed release dates its turning into a joke. They were due June this year and it appears to be pushed back yet again. Bachmann this is rapidly turning into a joke
