Llangunllo in EM
p.43
4mm/EM
Geoff Forster has always considered a through station served by two fiddle yards or whatever to be a waste of good modelling space, but not anymore. He now enjoys watching the train appear to arrive from one place and travel on elsewhere - so he asks "Who indeed needs a large layout? Despite Llangunllo's small size and nature, it is very interesting to operate. The lever frame certainly adds something extra to the operation, and takes me back to those happy days when I would be invited to pull a lever in the local signal box. What a struggle that could be, and woe betide me if I didn't wipe my shoes before entering the box."
