Interesting Garden ailway Video
Sorry, but I got bored watch loco's chasing Mallards record. If speed was cut by half the line would be twice as long.

Just a question. How do you talk for a minute without using the letter "A".
Count from 1 to 100. You won't use the letter "A" until 101.

Swift Sixteen Brake
I'm managing to get round 18" on my indoor line,with small 4 wheel stock. Bricks loco, Hunslets, Rustons etc. No problem, just very slowly.
I'm not using Peco track. Code 100 on copperclad sleepers.

Honey,I've shrunk the kit
I hope not. I haven't had the time to do s much as I would have liked.The body is based on a Keef loco and I found it on Fleabay. It was done by guy in Bournemouth and I haven't seen any more. Modding the chassis wasn't hard, basically just cut the ends off. It was trickier doing the sides because o...

Did a similar thing myself a little while back. Tiny tub,based on a box bought from Hobbycraft. They looked a bit askance when I asked for 20 black ones.

I'll second that warning. Just returned to Hampshire from Yorkshire and the north bound queues were horrendous.

Here in Goathland it's damp and windy. No going anywhere except to the pub for some Sheep. That's a real ale and cracking good stuff.

Just an idea.If you head across to the Gn15 info website, you will find a layout by Chris Krupa called Matthews Corner. What he did was to cut every 3 rd sleeper from standard Peco track,leaving the web intact, then adding plastic strip to the remaining sleepers to give the impression of pressed ste...

Many years back, I had an A 35 2 door saloon. Scared myself stupid with it. Mind you, she had a 1340 cc engine, Midget discs up front, Midget rear axle, therefore full hydraulic brakes and she had approx. 110 bhp. Bit more oomph than intended! Corners could be interesting to say the least. I've had ...

One of the first rules I learnt with garden railways is NEVER throw anything away! Kitchen drainers, the plastic ones, can be used as an overall roof for a station, or the support for a tin roof on sheds. the list goes on. Old computers yield small screws and other bits.
