I’ve not found any drawings either which whilst annoying makes the build more challenging. I too hadn’t found any images of the deck. That was until just after I’d built it and then found some! Picture below along with some from a recent visit.
Thanks Chris, appreciate your comments. It’s not a very well documented location to be honest despite how interesting it is. There’s a couple of good books, one being Railways and Industry in the Tondu Valleys. During the build there’s also been some fantastic colour images on a Facebook group from late 50’s until its closure in 1970. These have really helped especially with the construction of buildings.
Excellent progress! I was going to ask about the garage insulation but I think you’ve answered my question…
It’s not a particularly insulated garage tbh. It’s a single brick construction and I’ve lined the inside walls with plasterboard and some loft insulation above ceiling boards. I changed the up and over garage door with a couple of wooden doors which now don’t close properly It’s pretty Baltic in there sometimes. A little oil filled rad helps.
But in this case, it does...
well I think so anyway 
. You hadn't spent too long in the garage had you?? 
I’d love to do Walnut Tree. It’d need to be in 4mm for me though with the space I have. I think if the structure is somewhat unique then even if you have to make some compromises it’s still capturing the essence of it. It’s a great hobby where you can either go totally prototypical or use plenty of artistic licence and achieve very similar results.
. I feel like I should be proud of achieving ‘a first’ especially as a newby . I actually used it to flatten out sheets of DAS ahead of laying on the bridge abutments. It worked a treatBut in this case, it does...
The photo I was going to comment on is this one - I think it's a World First for WT...

Yes folks - the first time, that I know of anyway, that a photo of a rolling pin has appeared on WT!! And being used as a modelling tool as well - at least I hope so....
I'd have to build the railway to fit it, although the scenic section would only need to be from the north entrance to the Garth tunnel and to the other end of the very truncated viaduct which would be running into the cutting on the Ty Rhiw side of the valley.
Try US Style Track in S - Jameston & Leven River RR for a rolling pin from 2018. Sorry!Yes folks - the first time, that I know of anyway, that a photo of a rolling pin has appeared on WT!! And being used as a modelling tool as well - at least I hope so....
Gutted! Was hoping for an accolade of some kind. A bit like ‘ the wooden spoon’
