Fablewood Stock List

Whilst the construction of Prenchedwl is taking place, the first pieces of rolling stock have been acquired. These take the form of Peco's excellent Lynton & Barnstaple style bogie carriages; one a 1st/3rd composite, and a brake composite, both in plain and unbranded green livery:





Whilst slightly bizarre for a Welsh themed narrow gauge layout, these two carriages will prove themselves very useful members of the passenger fleet.

A brief update on construction of a few items of kit built rolling stock for Prenchedwl.

First off, a trio of kits make their appearances in what is intended to be the goods yard on Prenchedwl. They consist of the following (going clockwise in the following photograph): a Parkside Dundas freelance four wheel guards' van, a Colin Ashby freelance four wheel 'open tourist' passenger coach, and a Parkside Dundas L&B coal wagon.





The guard's van and open tourist coach are painted in the Ffestiniog 'Colonel Stephen's' style plain green with red ends (and cream roofs), while the L&B coal wagon is in a custom livery.

A fourth kit I've been working on is another Colin Ashby effort courtesy of the Society stand at Rainhill 2015: a freelance four wheel two compartment passenger coach. As with the open tourist coach, the carriage is painted in 'Colonel Stephen's' style plain green with red ends, and cream roof.





More to follow soon.
