looks a bit misty. Probably appropriate for a Welsh narrow gauge model!

I don't know about mist but every time I have been to North Wales it's absolutely bucketed down. Apart from the top left hand corner, where it always snows.

Top left hand corner of Wales. That's where the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited is located.
