Cwm Bach (translation: little valley) is a fictional location, somewhere in the South Wales valleys, nominally a few miles from Pontypridd (but not to be confused with the real Cwmbach near Aberdare). In this 7mm scale/O gauge model, it's presented as a run-down late 1980s single track branch line, with a small platform and a DMU service. The line was once double-tracked and continued through a tunnel but that was closed many years ago and only remains today because it's a reversing point for freight (mostly civil engineering and wagon repairs). There's no space for a run-round loop, which necessitates some shunting and there's generally an 08 or two to be seen. As well as the regular DMU service, Cwm Bach also sees the occasional visitor on a test run from Cathays Works or Cardiff Canton depot. Watch out for a 37, a 33 or a 56 either "light engine" or with some interesting short trains as well as an occasional steam special.
