Garden Railway Forum

The Corris Brakevan build has been a real treat to make. I decided to go with the ducket version and followed the Youtube video, which is essential. Not all of Jerry's kits have the same sequence of construction, so it pays to watch carefully. All of the pieces fit perfectly, no sanding or cutting r...

Oh, Oh, watch the panic buying begin!

Pus postage of only $50.00 ?

Hi, If you drop me an email to jerry.irwin@homecall.co.uk I will email you a price list. I am a one man band and have only a limited amount of time but I am always willing to design / produce various wagons at affordable prices and to a high standard. Thank you for adding further contact details Je...

Beautiful garden Tony, varied selection of visitors too. Shame to spoil it with that railway...... only kidding!

Many thanks Rik, that is most helpful.
I am aware of the Yatton kit, which looks to be good quality from the image on his site. I have no experience of Yatton kits, so at £60.00 plus the £12.00 postage cost, puts me off taking the chance.

I am not aware of a published price list but Jerry can be contacted directly as shown above. That is the way I get information from Jerry.

Jerry doesn't have a website but his range can be viewed here..... https://www.flickr.com/photos/107486657@N03/albums/72157688655086333 Jerry is a gardenrails Forum member and can be contacted direct by PM ....'Jerry' I have sent you his home Email address, which he supplies in all of his kits, (see...

Can anyone help with technical details of the Leek and Manifold transporter wagons please? Perhaps there are drawings available somewhere, but basic things like length, wheelbase, how many wheels (4 wheels or two bogies) wheel diameter etc? Was there only one design made or different lengths and car...

Changing the subject yet again, I received my latest kit today from Jerry Irwin, the Corris Brakevan. I love his kits as they are a pleasure to make following the Youtube videos and always result in first class models with superb running in ball bearing bushes. This kit has various options contained...

Looking wonderful Trevor, but with only two gravel boards left you might have a short intermission during lockdown as deliveries will surely be affected.

I'm very tempted by the 'Skylark' too, a nice looking locomotive. I hope you can post your build on the forum, it would be interesting to see how you get on and what we should be aware of. I'm interested to know how many AA batteries you can fit inside?

I was hoping we were going to see a Double Fairlie in LBSCR style "Improved Engine Green"...

If 'Improved Engine Green' has a hint of maroon, then you're in luck!

Rod, not silly questions at all.... the filler/primer is from Halfords and builds up small depressions in the printing. The grey is ordinary primer. So, dependent on print quality and whether or not the section will be easily seen I have the two choices. No difference in price so they could all be t...

Somewhere I have mentioned the PDF Double Fairlie kit I am building, along with another garden railway modeller, for a mutual friend who bought it, opened the box, closed the box, and called for assistance. Alan is putting the bogies together and adding Deltang RC, meanwhile, I am doing the bodywork...
