Re: Another Faller Railbus
Strewth! That looks amazing! I've seen a fair bit of lining over the years but that must be among the best.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
I was going to say 32 Rik This was not intended to be a trick question, but Rik's answer has made me think about the wording more carefully. The question referred to battery powered locos, of which there are 32 with built-in battery packs, however, two others need an external supply (trailing van w...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
I think you mean "Airfix" Peter. They're unfortunately no longer produced, but I managed to track down a kit and 'converted' it into a horizontal steam engine for my sawmill. IMG_7598.JPG https://riksrailway.blogspot.com/2018/06/how-i-detailed-interior-of-my-sawmill.html?m=1 Rik PS Your sc...

Re: Film photo
By coincidence, I'm selling a 35mm SLR for my brother. In its day, his Olympus OM1N was supposed to be a leading camera in its field. Within 30 mins of putting it on eBay it attracted two bids raising it from £30 to nearly £60. There still seems to be a lot of interest in film cameras these days.

Anyone who wants to build a garden line but whose partner is not keen should show her/him these videos which show how a garden railway
can fit into the garden and enhance the enjoyment of the outdoor space.

It looks wider, or is that just the photo angle?

Re: Blog, Pictures, and Videos
I've been using Blogger for nearly 20 years. It's (now) hosted by Google and is free (unless you don't like Google) and so is seamless when uploading photos and linking to videos on YouTube (or you can upload videos directly to your blog). I ran out of my storage capacity for photos after about 12 y...

upload restrictions
Unfortunately, our web hosting service has notified us that we are about to exceed our 50gb storage capacity for uploaded files (pictures, 3D files etc). We were originally led to believe that we had unlimited storage but it looks like the T&C have recently changed. We are therefore having to pl...

Thanks for the pictures.
That looks like a really well detailed kit with a beefy motor block.
Can I justify having such a loco on the PLR???

Re: MDC G2110 Big Hustler G scale loco kit
Hi Welcome to the forum. We do ask for photos when selling stuff (see - https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11143#p125070 ) It helps people have some idea of what they're buying. I appreciate, that a photo of the parts in a kit and the box it comes in aren't very exciting but it will help ...
