Built by Great Model Railway Challenge judge Kathy Millatt. Port Dinorwic., as seen on Hornby - A Modet World on the Yesterday TV channel. this lay- out is now in the care of the Bala Lake Railway. Port Dinorwic is the slate wharf where the products of the giant Dinorwic state quarry were sent via the 4 gauge Padarn railway and from there shipped around the world. 110 3/4" gauge slate wagons were carried on 4 gauge transporter wagons from Gilfach Odu to Penscoins, from where they were lowered down to Port Dinorwic on an incline. The model shows a small part of the port where the incline finishes in a tunnel behind the buildings in the middle. in addition to the narrow gauge lines (009), there is also a standard gauge branch line (00) to the port running through the middle of the layout.
