Garden Railway Forum

Five years have whizzed by since the conception of my railway. To celebrate, the 17 or so folk that attended ate bacon buns & lots of cake (and some even ran trains) Thanks to all who attended and particularly those who came from the extremities of the North West and who had to battle through traffic jams to make it.

























The 'old' bridge around 5pm....


The'new' girder bridge by 8pm....

Stunning! Definitely LOTS of cake

You should have entered the 4th photo down in the competeition - labelled "The P.Way department are on Holiday!" - they certainly haven't been de-veg ing! Brilliant photo!!!

Nice pictures (and cake!) Why has Bluebottle got an "X" in the rear R/H window??

Many thanks for a most enjoyable anniversary steamup.

So thanks SLRmidge for a great time :D

Nice piccies Jack, I'm glad you had a good time at your first 'steam up'

Great pics there guys, wish I came.

On a slightly serious note, Ian, you really need to get some plant control in order.

Matt, in a way, after running there, i agree and see why, but if he does it loes's the atmosphere

Fantastic pics there, brilliant railway with tons of over grown atmosphere!

Nice pics Jack, and thanks for spelling my locos name correctly, unlike some immature people round here!
Here are a few pics from me


PTLRcecil's Moelwyn is radio controlled, a massive leap forward for him as he's never owned an RC loco before. Hence the confused look when he picked up the transmitter for the first time...


Lady Adele from the LMS at Eaves Wood


Jack's Feanor and train


Corrie the Carrie in the overgrowth


Double headed Moelwyn's form the 5th Anniversary special


Phil's coal fired Edrig at speed!


Urien rolls into Waterslack


Hows my driving? B****y awefull judging by this mess

Hahah! More great photos! Love the carrie in the undergrowth. I know how PTLR Cecil feels I don't own an R/C locomotive and have Never driven one!

Anytime , wasn't sure if it was right, but saw it in another thread
Thanks for the compliments of my piccies too , they turned out better than I thought.
your picsare Nice too, i like the one of my train
Also on the note of Feanor, suprised no one decided to ram it, it's not like it is much faster than brilliant bluebottle
