Information about Argoed

[Mark Blackmore]

I was very interested to see Argoed being shown at the SWOONS event recently.
On returning home I decided that my I would like to try and make a 'homarge' to Argoed as my next layout, yet suprisingly I cant find any trackplan or information about it (besides what was written in the guide). I only took 2 photos of the layout believing I had seen the track plan in a book.
I am hoping to get a trackplan and aproximate dimensions, and try it with a Devon feeling.
Any help would be apreciated.

Hi Mark,

I took a few close up photos of Argoed which won't help but did take one quick opportunity snap early in the day during "set up", of the whole layout, which may give you an outline of the track plan (can't help regarding the behind the scenes stuff though!). The bare patch top left has yet to have the industrial building scene planted but you should be able to make out the track plan for this part which is just a point feeding two sidings, ie Y shape.

Hope this helps at least as a starter

Thanks for the photo Mike.

I took 2 photos but my phone has mislaid them.
I am guessing that the bridge at the back is the middle level and is an up and down lines, and the gradients must be very steep.
Just need to find Jon Curtis who restored it.
