Garden Railway Forum

Well said Brian. Yes the odd comment like you say is always welcome to members and you are correct, this is a thriving forum with discussions that really do help with members even if they don't comment. Has for members knowing more than you do...You are reading a post from someone who knows absolute...

Mmmmm..

I appreciate that this is common sense to experienced users You'd think so, wouldn't you? Hope so even. Alas, I've been playing trains in the garden for over 35 years now and still make basic errors! Still, I'm learning, and there are some helpful and generous people around to help me put things ri...

You are having a ball Mitch with those locos.
I bet you can't wait to get the Baldwin

I also have the digital version and it always comes out a few days later, it's not a problem, but I will be stopping it once the current subscription expires..That's if I remember then.

Well said Peter. A lot of members don't contribute at all, but don't you think also that they just what to find out and learn from just reading and looking at threads maybe. I have seen quite a few just joined members who go onto the "For Sale" thread to sell an item and you never hear fro...

I did think about that Busted, we don't have gas hobs now at our new home. I do have a Butane torch though, but where it is in the garage is anyones guess..

Thanks for the reply though..

It's going to be tough to choose a favourite this time! Andrew To be fair, it always is! Just shows the excellence of the railways, photography and imagination of the membeship. It would be nice if more members participated though. You are right Philip, there are some brilliant railways out there a...

Can any of our very helpful members help me please. I would like to know, how can I Blacken Stainless Steel. I am doing a little project and I want to Blacken some 2mm Stainless Steel Rod.
I have seen that Birchwood Casey stuff, but they do say it's not for stainless steel.

To be honest Andrew, I have never seen the magazine in any newsagents. I have it delivered and also online. But I may give up the online one. It was one of those moments when I thought "Just in case"....

I think you will find that this forum is very strong when it comes to contributors...

Just got this months copy and wow, again another absolutely brilliant article from ge_rik. His article on the building of the Beeston Brewery is so well explained and photographed. It just inspires you to go out and build something yourself. It does me anyway. There is also some more excellent reads...

Nice report. Glad to see Mr I.N.Spector has got his clipboard back so he can keep all his notes to hand...

Is it really that important to be approved quickly. You can still see all that is going on within the forum and view all the threads, so waiting to be approved for me is not an issue. Has for Facebook, I don't use it that much nowadays mainly because of the idiots that go on it and the language can ...

Very nice Andrew. Hope to see some outdoor views of her soon...When all this rubbish weather has gone.....

Sorry it's been sometime since I last posted on this thread. But again January's Garden Rail has some very interesting builds of stock and how someone went about building their line, for me, a very well built one indeed. The line in question is "Bayfields". It shows what can be achieved in...

Well Rik another great blog on an unused part of your garden, that I now suspect will gets lots of use.
Well done Rik, you do inspire me to do more on mine.

Great videos from both of you. But as you all know, I am not a lover of the cold...Brrrrrr

All three photos are great, although they are making me shiver more already....

Not seen your update yet Rik, but I will when the Son-in-law gets here to hopefully finish the flags he is laying....Got a few words to say to him.. :lol: :lol: If past updates are anything to go by, I am sure they will be excellent. :thumbright: Has will any attempt at loco weathering Rik, you will...
