Garden Railway Forum

Ok Dokie Philip understood. Should have put only railway related shouldn’t I…. Sorry.

In a way Philip, it is garden related isn't it. Especially if they are done with something that has any movement on a track or line side, like a coal chute or waterwheel, running water..anything that moves on our near our lines. But if you feel it should be in the Off Topic section, that's ok.

This is a Thread for anyone to show their own Giphy. Well I managed to work out how to make an Animated Gif. Reading Drew's thread "HOW to make a Giphy" If you are more IT minded or simply very good at doing things like this, you will find it interesting I think, it depends on what you lik...

Mmmmm... I ......

I personally think people just come on here to sell their items, which is all well and good, but they really aren't doing much else only saving money by not selling on eBay. Still not really bothered if the do only sell something, it's their choice, but I wish they would say how much they want for a...

Need to be wary of some reviews. Over here there are some who just post reviews who haven't even seen or done anything with what they are reviewing and some companies use there own people to review something for company rewards...

I am looking forward to Philip making the video for us all to see how the sound is in his loco Your wish is my command, Rod! :lol: The video is over on my Gmeinder loco build thread.... For inexplicable reasons, I made the 4 handrails 48mm long instead of 32mm long. I knew it looked wrong but it wa...

Hi Simon, Great to hear from you. Where does one start on his /her journey into our garden railway hobby ;) ..... The main thing is to enjoy yourself and hopefully it will bring you so many rewards. and maybe lots of friends through this forum and when you meet other like minded garden railway enth...

Well I think it's going to be brilliant Drew. It's a long journey sometimes to get to something we are happy with, and then I don't think we are all of us, happy are we with want we end up with, there is always something or another that we think needs doing to improve it. :thumbright: Carry on Drew ...

Hi Simon, Great to hear from you. Were does one start on his /her journey into our garden railway hobby ;) It's something most of us can relate to making huge mistakes and then regretting what we have done. You however seem to be ahead of most of us with the early planing of your line. You are one o...

I think curved members come with age?

Thanks for your replies guys. I wasn't having ago at anyone in the thread and like I said I did find it interesting reading, but far too complicated for me to understand and I know that between you all you have sorted the problem out. I still don't think I could do anything like the programming at a...

On reading this thread I am glad it's all worked out Philip, yet for me and I presume most of use who are not that well informed with electricity stuff, buying a 'Cheapo Sound Card' isn't something that would be worth it for use, possibly because we would end up blowing stuff up with all those resis...

The lineside workers soon got the line cleared and full service resumed quickly for the rest of the season.

Lucky though, it could have been much much worse, lucky no one was injured.

I knew if I put it off long enough my guide would be unnecessary! (Almost done anyway!)

Hope you can both can enlighten soon...

Take them to charity shops, they may take them or leave them in Doctors surgery, might be better then all those women's and home & garden magazines...

Thanks Steve, there perfect

This is what I want, the item in the photo isn't the size I want, it would have 54 printed on the belt and not 42... I know there is £3.33 postage on these but cheap enough at 34p each https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814325775.html Thanks for that Steve. :thumbright: They are not wide enough unfo...

I can understand that problem Rik when producers sell something that is electrical or mechanical, then there could be issues, but I think what Keith S is talking about is building models kits which usually have no moving parts, so wouldn't it seem right that producers should sell to those countries....
