Garden Railway Forum

I really like Irish narrow gauge so when I saw a body shell for the CDR's #12 on Ebay a while ago I had to have it. It's been sitting on a shelf since - with a toddler I just never have any modeling time anymore. But I really have the bug to work on something lately - so I took advantage of some lou...

I seem to recall Ozark Miniatures having one on offer

That's not too far off from the prototype - Tralee and Dingle had grade in excess of 3% climbing Slieve Mish (I believe that was the steepest grade on any Irish railway broad or narrow)

A second edition of this just came out.

Living in a little apartment I don't have a workbench - things tend to get build on sheets of cardboard on the floor - and then everything gets put away. My wife and I have decided that when we upgrade to a house in a few years there will be a "hobby room" my side for trains and her side f...

I just keep coming back to this thread for inspiration. Such a beautiful layout.

Hiking, photography, general mucking about with electronics. That said - I'm getting married in a few months and we're DIYing quite a bit of it. From drawing logos, creating and printing the piles of paper (save-the-dates, invitations, menus, programs, etc), making decorations ourselves, managing th...

Hoping everything works out well, whatever the situation is

They're great kits - I have one of their Katie's part way converted into Ursula and a few tops sitting around unfinished.

You'll have to keep us appraised as your new line goes in

Brilliant!
