It's been quiet about my garden railway for some time.
The earthwork is finished, and most of the track is laid.
For the background of my garden railway, I decided to resurect my abandond Isle of Skye Railway theme, which I used for my modular N scale layout. I have now discovered that when a railway system have been built on the Isle of Skye it would be a narrow gauge railway. My Isle of Skye Railway runs from Armadale via the small hamlets Kilbeg and Kilmore to Loch nan Uamh. In my fictious history
there is a rare mineral mined for the high quality steel production.
Loch nan Uamh Station (some tracks are still missing)
Armadale station in the background
On the oval would be the two halt for Kilbeg and Kilmore
Hi Markus, Looks as though you´ve put in a lot of works over the last quarter of a year and the lines looking good. Thanks for the film. Viel Spass und bis bald, hoffen wir!

Hello,
can someone tell me how I could ad
a youtube movie so that you could see it direct in
the thread, and not as a url?
Thank you.
It all depends on whether you can get the old embed code out of YouTube. For this posting I went to your video, clicked Share, then clicked Embed and the Use old embed code option was there. Copied the old embed code & pasted it in this posting (Note: you will not see the video in Preview). In the past I've found you will not get the old embed code option if you are Logged In to YouTube.
I hope it worked and you could see the embedded video?
Because on my computer it says that I need a plug in to
see the content.

Go to the appropriate YouTube video (Do not Log In). Select Share, Select Embed, Click Use old embed code, Copy the embed text in the box.
In your message paste the old embed code where you wish the video displayed. You will not see the video when you preview your message.

A few pictures of my recent work for my garden railway
First I applied some accesoires on my small diesel loco and the brake van.
On the loco I placed some loco lamps of an old Faller E-Train loco, to simulate a simple headcode for goods trains on my IoS Railway.
I also put some vacuum pipes at the ends of the loco.
During the holidays I scratchbuilt a kind of Conflat wagon for Less then a car load traffic. I used a Faller E-train/Playtrain wagon chassis as base. The removable cases are also from Faller Playtrain range.
I also put a brake standart from a disused LGB wagon and glued it in my Andel Brake van which I received last summer.
And last but not least I built a flat wagon from an Andel Models kit I received yesterday, about three weeks late for my wife to present it to me for christmas.

Hello,
it's been quite a while since my last post here. In the meantime I have moved two times, and got divorced. But now I've settled in my new home (house). And I'm planning on a new garden railway. More about in the near future. But today I made a christmas update about my model railway projects.
