Garden Railway Forum

Yeah, that was my guess too, with the same reservations.

Would you mind telling all when yours arrives philipy? I would be interested to hear how it worked out for you.

Sorry Dave, I'm not quite with you? I got one a couple of months ago and installed it in the Gmeinder loco, as per the thread I linked to. I don't have any more on order.

Yes, I have used a couple of N20 gear motors, most recently on a German "Gmeinder & Co" diesel: https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14734&hilit=gmeinder They are fine for light duty loco's but not sure if I would trust them with a heavy hauler, and I have no experience of...

Thanks Steve. I've seen that pic but never looked through to the back !

...which begs the question... Why??!

Now this is a side of Rik that we didn't know about!!!

In the attached picture of Britomart On the rear cab sheet there is a curved line of rivets just under the roof line. Then below that, there appears to be another line of about half a dozen rivets. However, if you look inside the cab at the inside of the cab front, there is a row of holes which appe...

Do you have an idea to fix accessories on the platform made of aerated concrete ?

If you really want things permanently fixed, try Gorilla Glue ( the original foaming one ). I used it to glue a loose stone platform edge to the concrete platform. It's still in place after about 5 years.

Fabulous as always Peter

Brilliant Andrew. I've tried my hand a few times but never been very happy with the results.

No, you have missed my point Rod. Your original post suggested that people could post NON-garden related items to your thread ("... if you have any thing that relates to garden railways, but it doesn't need to..."). Those are the ones that should be on Off Topic.

Nice gif Rod. Well done for mastering the technique. It would be great if you have any thing that relates to garden railways, but it doesn't need to, although we don't want to overloaded with just those that are not related please. I don't want to sound pedantic, but I should just point out that if ...

That looks very impressive. The lighting works well.

Wot 'e sed!!!
That looks amazing.

Thanks chaps. As a bit of a "thank you" I also sent a link to the video to the guy at the museum who assisted with the check measurements and pic. He replied straight awy with " That is spectacular!!! Thanks for sharing it with me. Cheers, Zack" Which I thought was rather nice of...

Inevitably, at this time of year the garden requires a massive tidy up and there are always umpteen rolling stock repairs to catch up with. But it’s raining again, so I’ll have another cup of tea, continue with my book and worry about the other stuff some other time. That about sums it up, for most...

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. I did actually get it finished last weekend as I had hoped, and did a short video, but then discovered I had made a ...

Well here it is. https://youtu.be/ZQ2kqpcGWYQ In the end I painted it in standard early 1940's "Panzer grey", which is currently RAL 7021 and as far as I can tell was also used for Luftwaffe ground vehicles. I decided against the red embellishments since I'm not sure if they are correct ( ...

Well... it's .... errr... different!
Be good to see how you finally finish it.

Looking excellent so far, Zac

Is this the sort of thing you are thinking of, Phil? ( as a f'rinstance)

Give us some dimensions and I'm sure one of us can come up with something to suit.
