Garden Railway Forum

Don't like insects of any kind, especially SPIDERS....uggg... please...

Ladybirds are welcome though...

That is a line to be proud of Phil. I just wish I had a little bit bigger garden and I would have nicked you idea of having it that tall also, my old back kills me now...

Thats really neat Philip. Have you made the housing box yourself. It great for protecting the gears from all the rubbish that gets picked up when running the locos. :thumbright: Thanks Rod. Yes, the gearmotor housing is custom drawn & printed. In three parts, the body in two halves glued togeth...

Hope you all have a brilliant day To far unfortunately for us for one day and it's a little bit short notice, other wise we may have booked a place to stay for the night.

Still I'am sure the day will be successful..

Very nice that Phil nicely built too.

I’am just starting another small scratch build of a brake van with wood again, but it maybe a month or two before it’s finished the speed I work at….

I can really see how you have been able to make your line to be incorporated with the pond Drew. It’s going to be a great little line and I can see your better half letting you extend your line and create another masterpiece.

:Bump Hello Winding Road and Welcome... :welcomeconfetti Just read your thread sorry it's been over a year for me to welcome you. Not had the best time of it then. Anyway have you been able to do anything with the Faller Hit Train yet. I hope you have had some success, if you have it would be great ...

Rampant campanula was my problem this year. Rampant moss is mine... I'm thinking of starting an export business - using rail transport of course, if I can clear enough of it to allow the trains to run! Oooh, I'm imagining something like the Irish peat lines, maybe with those rustic looking wooden c...

Love this video Rik. Very well videoed and the commentary is brilliant. Your rolling stock are to be admired and run on any line that do 45mm. Brilliant.

Excellent build there Grant, very neat way of making your own wagon.

Its great being able to get to run something isn't Andrew after all the flipping rain we have had. I have a problem with my bridge at the moment so a full run around the line isn't possible for now, but I will do a short video of a battery soon hopefully.

Coming on Drew...



The Small Controller is right...
There should be trees and flowers around the station...

Neat that. Brilliant...

Hi Andrew, When my Dad used to get his wagons sign written the guy used to chalk out the sign first and then use that bit of stick that has a piece of cloth wrapped around it. He had many different sizes of those because some letters were really small, like the bottom of the doors on my Dads cabs w...

I agree with Aaron, bracing is a must now and the width like Phil.P says the overall dimensions will hurt you when building it. You could put thicker right angle corner pieces to make the dimensions better and stronger. No harm in looking at that mocked up and seeing if it helps, I think it would an...

Thats what I have Rik, well something similar and it produces excellent videos for the money.

Well worth getting Nigel..

Brilliant that Drew. More please...

Practice, practice and more practice Drew, like anything else the more one does something the better and easier it gets, or should be. I fail miserably most of the time with somethings I do
