Garden Railway Forum

In between building up my collection of 'Rocket' locomotive models for next year's exhibition programme (see Open days and exhibitions, 'Rocket Man'), I have been working on a laser cut, plywood wagon which I bought last week from a model shop. This has been in the shop for about 3 years waiting for...

Well done.... timely and appropriate. Thought provoking....... a great reminder!

Thanks for the reply, I thought it would present a challenge and you seem to have mastered it. It isn't obvious from the angle of the picture so I will be pleased to see the final result.

I do love that coach and I think it is a wonderful addition to your range, but...... and there is always a but!..... of the 25 items you have had pointed out which needed correction, did no-one mention the distinctive rake of the curved end observation windows, which I think are an important identif...

Totally agree with Philip, a great result, well done.

Thank you Rod for the compliments, I was most concerned throughout your illness and look forward to seeing you back in the garden next year. It looks like a garden with potential for your line, nothing too grand, just a circuit and sidings would be sufficient, and easy to maintain... always an issue...

Beautiful pictures, I love the colours...... must be a competition entry there?

Brilliant!.... the frame detail is amazing, especially as you have left it untouched out of the printer.

Interested in the high ...

Glad to see Mr I N Spector out of rehab, he is back to his efficient self and sending appropriate reports.

You wouldn't have seen the stove when you called Rik, it is in my 'Hospitality Shed' which was just a junk store at the time! I prepared it especially for guests who attend my open days due to the unpredictable weather here in Wales. It has already proved its worth during the last two events and pro...

Wonderful pictures Grant, so nice to see more of your railway.... inspirational!

Nice one Andy... I was in danger of winning through lack of competition, more entrants please!

Do I notice double glazing also and are they from a caravan... Rod, glazing isn't from a caravan, although I have been a caravan technician towards the end of my career and never thought about it then! Neither are they double glazed as they are safety glass shower screens, from the time I spent as ...

Yes Rod, not much sign of your railway ever being there now, however, your landlord will have no reason to complain! Having removed my structures only yesterday, I was horrified to see the demolition contractors have moved in so soon..... IMG_6785.JPG It is certainly a good job this didn't happen fo...
