I'm not the only one who's been having ideas about some one-off conversation pieces as part of the trains we run on Minffordd at exhibitions. As the towable Princess project has progressed so Himself has been casting wistful glances in the direction of our Lowmac wagon.It looks rather at home in the siding against the 'quay' where the FR tracks run next to the goods shed, doesn't it.For what historical recreation purpose could we employ one of these wagons at Minffordd in the period we model??Because Minffordd was yard was always as much about transfers from standard to narrow gauge as about the exporting of slate on the 'big railway'.Many of you will be ahead of me already, or course...No, we won't be attempting to animate the scene.And to get around the awkward questions about duplication we shall simply declare Rule 1 is in force!Because what is the point in spending years building a layout - even an exhibition layout - if at the end of the day it's not your 'train set'?
