Genesis

I discovered a real blast from the past while checking with in Himself yesterday - my orginal concept plan for Dduallt I made when I was still at school.

It was a proper, scale, 3D model made using very sophisticated materials - cardboard and millput!

It was a very useful exercise because there were a couple of major revisions we made when we built if for real.

At the front we chopped off the left hand corner which was just empty scenic space to give the layout its distinctive wedge shape which draws the eye to Rhoslyn Bridge.

We also revised the fiddle yard plans so have two separate yards at right angles to the layout instead of attempting putting them in parallel behind, which would have made it much harder to operate.

There was also a rather unrealistic idea for a ski ramp linking the two levels to give a continuous run option.
