Garden Railway Forum

Very nice build, looks brilliant.

Just took 20 minutes to upload this to youtube, for les then a minute of video that is rubbish really, compered to a lot of forum sites that can upload it in a few minutes, but hey oh, here it is of that little car. https://youtu.be/BRgjBZHffGY Hope you like it has much as we did. :thumbright:

it does seem like a lot of money though Phillip, unless you have a lot to make on it, which i presume you have with a garden layout and the cost of making it yourself against shop bought must be a lot less and of course you can customise it to be unique to you, purely one off that no body else will...

I agree Phillip with the photos, it is simplicity it self, maybe the easiest i have come across on forum’s, you can select quite a few photos at the same time, i did six i think all at once and took no time to load, but tried a video and it didn’t want to know, unless of course i load it up to youtu...

Thanks Tom, my partner Anne did this, that’s why my layout will now be called FWLR (Fairy Wood Light Railway), she has the CEO given permission to build the layout although in a limited area, until maybe i can apply for planning permission to extend, but hey, allowed to build in the 1st place is a s...

I see, it does seem like a lot of money though Phillip, unless you have a lot to make on it, which i presume you have with a garden layout and the cost of making it yourself against shop bought must be a lot less and of course you can customise it to be unique to you, purely one off that no body els...

I have a FB account and yes it does have loads of rubbish on it, but you can block it, and since getting interested in garden railways i now have more groups to look at on garden railways and the rubbish seems to stop coming. It seems the more you like and read certain groups i.e. Garden Railways Gr...

to above PS...

I bet you are young of heart to Phillip.

Thanks Rik for you’r reply, i will certainly look at your blogs when i have time, at the moment i am waiting for the weather to clear up a bit so i can get on with the paving. Then it’s full steam ahead (PUN) with the garden layout start next week.

Looks a cheap way of adding to the stock.

Great build Rik, can i ask a really stupid question, you say you have used cardboard for the running plates and other stuff, is this just templates for cutting out for the brass, i have never done anything like this before and i am wanting to have a go at a bit of scratch/ kit bashing myself. do you...

Great bespoke seats and for the price you have a winner.

You do get a (Blue Peter Badge) Phillip, that is some excellent work i must say, working a laptop out isa struggle for me haha, so 3D printing is a no go. All of your work especially the 3D stuff is some of the best i have seen. Do you have any thoughts on selling some of it to other’s. The seat, su...

Went to West Lancs Light Railway open day Sunday with the CEO, if you what to win them other take them to a show and get them on your side, i now have permission to start my layout which the CEO has named “Fairy Wood Light Railway” mainly due to the fact that this little water feature she wanted and...

Thanks John, You can’t beat good old Creosote mixed with old engine oil. My Dad used to make interwoven fence panels and sprayed the mix on...lovely

Health and Safety mean nothing to me, only interfering bureaucrats that make most jobs longer and harder to do...

Well Peter, maybe they have children to keep occupied and most of their time is taken up with them, i know when my own kids were younger, it was a full time job looking after them has well as doing my paid job, i was to tired to do anything else..

Just been reading your thread and wow, what a brilliant layout. I know Morecambe and surrounding area’s fairly well, Nether Kellett and all, and the landscape is truly breathtaking, i particularly love the winter months around there and just a stones throw from the Lakes has well, you really do have...

Thanks John (FBGR) for your reply and information, i went to a open day local to me Sunday and spoke with a member of the 16mm Association and he says he uses patio decking for his railway, so it’s some thing i will look into. Why isn’t Creosote sold anymore. I certainly hope your FBGR is still arou...
