Rebuild
At the suggestion of Tim A the yard has been rebuilt to improve track geometry
This has meant reducing the yard from three to two sidings
The change has proved successful a jinty can propel the six wagons shown over the baseboard joint at full speed
To make the new yard more interested to view and operate I've added two industries
The first is Tramar Engineering Co Ltd
Precision Engineers: metal fabrication, welding, forging, turning, & drilling.
S.P.A. Davies & Sons Plant & Machinery Dealers
S.P.A. Davies & Sons may also be scrap merchants.
Both are on the site of the erstwhile Coed Talon station site
Its unclear if both are currently on the site or Tramar Engineering Co Ltd replaced S.P.A. Davies & Sons

The Sidings
The sidings are used to shunt wagons arriving from and going to local coal mines, quarries, and kilns.
The cottage top wagons are used to move line from the local kilns
