Morfa is the latest incarnation of my lifelong interest in trains. It's based on the real life location of Morfa Mawddach, but includes numerous deviations that I thought would be an improvement on real life. Hopefully the character and atmosphere remain. These days I'm less interested in reading accounts of how individuals build their models than I am about why they do. Though I'm always up for pertinent questions, I'd like to step away from the norm and concentrate on the reasons behind the choices and the motivation to model. I'll try my hardest to avoid sounding like a pretentious twerp but there's a risk I may not succeed.

The bodge is dead, long live the bodge

In the previous entry I mentioned the supposedly temporary bridge; well it lasted for five months or so. It was three carefully matched piles of magazines that the flexitrack sat on top of. Though a joyously quick fix that allowed trains to whiz round, it really looked a mess and so with an hour to spare, a big cardboard box and a glue gun I knocked up a better temporary structure one evening last week. Here it is.
