Garden Railway Forum

The DH looks great. It must be a heavy beast. I like the green coach in the background of the workshop photo. Is that a freelance model or something specific? Your mate's Sentinel railcar is a beauty too.

superb loco !

Well done!

It's a nicer workshop than mine, and mine took me much longer than 3m 43s to build too.

You have to admire this railway. One of the most atmospheric garden railways you are likely to see.

Always a joy to see views of this most atmospheric of garden lines. Really do like your rolling stock and structures.

Good to see this rural Aussie scene, full of character. The bauxite coloured van is an interesting item. Is that rolled up 'blinds' I see there? Not sure what they're really called but it's a nice touch.

...I reckon an N or U class mogul would look great... There’s the Schools class, too - which I’ve always thought actually looks (especially in profile) like a full-size toy train, if you know what I mean. Very impressed with your Southern Mogul. Captures the spirit of it nicely. The N is probably m...

There will be an outbreak of shed envy !
Looks great.

Yes, its a great run. About 3 years back my better half and myself took into our heads to do a flying visit from Kent. Drove to the youth hostel (Snowdon Ranger?). Next day went up the mountain then drove home! We never seem to get much time off! :scratch: We nearly missed out on the trip because th...

A great video of a superb railway. Lots of interest there.
I was intrigued at the insect landing on the building at 3:48. Looked like a scale bird !

And apologies for the thread hijack :oops: Yes, I've been feelinga bit guilty about that as well! :oops: I've copied the last few posts over to the Plants thread and I'll answer there. https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=12012&p=149562#p149562 Again apologies forthe hijack!

Yes, its the Lost in Space chariot, remounted on a 16mm powered chassis. It awaits a crew and some working lights fore and aft. Possibly a snow plough as well. Creeping Thyme is great and yes, we have tried it here but without much success. Just shrivels up and dies. Wrong soil maybe,; I know it lik...

I finally got chance to make a little more progress and the track is being laid around the south end of the pond. The Chariot inspection trolley was sent out to test the newly laid track. I think it needs fitting with a snowplough to clear away all the hazelnut shells deposited on the line by squirr...

Always good to see progress on a new project. Improve your house and build a new railway at the same time. Sounds like a plan!
