Filmed at the 2024 Nottingham Model Railway Exhibition organised by the Nottingham Model Railway Society.

From the show program;
Talyllyn depicts the real life narrow gauge Talyllyn Railway in Mid-Wales. In 1951, the Talyllyn Railway became the first railway to be preserved by volunteers, and it was gradually rebuilt throughout the remainder of the 1950s and 1960s. It is this period that the layout roughly depicts, although those who know the history of the Talyllyn Railway will note the extension to Nant Gwernol is included in the form it took from 1976.
The layout you see today was built by Roger Bugg over a period of time from 1979, and underwent rebuilds due to a house move. It was designed to fit within the room of a house, hence the original formation intended it to be viewed from within four sides (not how it is displayed this weekend).

There is obvious compression! The real Talyllyn is 7.25 miles long and if modelled in 4mm scale to the exact length would require a room 503 feet long!

Paul was fortunate enough to recently be able to take on this superb layout from Roger, and has undertaken to get the layout working electrically again – Roger had gone to radio control – and to enable the layout to be mounted on a custom-built stand for exhibitions, as it had previously sat on tables at model railway shows.

The stock is Paul’s own, and whilst it doesn’t all match the 1960s aesthetic, it is all Talyllyn Railway stock. The stock you see is a combination of ready-to-run, kit-built and some scratchbuilt.
