Garden Railway Forum

hi everybody
I'm a french man and i leave near Paris, i start in 16mm gauge and i project to build a layout.
the size will be of 15mX3m but i never do it...
so, i need your help to know how to build
-on surface or in high
have some idea what i could do as track plan layout


thank you for your reply

i'm alone in france

I would build about 3 foot off of the floor level. this way you will not get leaves on the line too much. my last line was ground level and it was hard to keep up with the amount of debris on the line

Not that I'm trying to get rid of you- but there are several French members on there, and plenty of French speakers!

Bonjour, je m'appelle Pete et j'habite en Cornouaille, Angleterre.

I just scraped a C in GCSE French here in England, so I don't know much else!! Oh yes, Train a vapeur!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:


You may find it useful to browse some UK websites for books to help you start, many are useful to beginners. Even if you join the 16mm Asscociation, you get a free beginners guide! Personally, what inspired me was looking at other peoples garden railway websites; I compiled a huge list on my own website here: http://mhlr.webs.com/links.htm

Hope you get sorted and get something running, that's especially inspiring!
