Re: Non Polarised Magnets
I experimented with magnetic couplings using some small jewellery magnets. I needed to ensure wagons were the correct way round on the track so the magnets were N/S N/S N/S the length of the train. The magnets I used were a bit small for the job and too much tension would cause the wagons to separat...

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
Very impressive. And it fits into the garden surroundings perfectly
.. or should I say you have created the garden surroundings perfectly to make the railway fit into the landscape.

Re: The Pine Hill Railway - a Garden Railway in Norway
Ah yes, I recognised the Jennie and the Silver Lady but in the aerial film of the Silver Lady I thought it was a different loco. A really good garden layout. I looked on the map to see where you are. As it is southern Norway hopefully you get most of the year free to enjoy the garden and not buried ...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway - a Garden Railway in Norway
Really enjoyed that Kjell. Very entertaining.

Good to see summer has reached the Pine Hill Railway. I've always liked Roundhouse Billys. Looks like new growth on your Yew tree (?)

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
The grass will come back. It looks crispy and dead but that's nature's way!
Monty Don (of Gardener's World fame) reckons to give shrubs etc a good soaking once a week so the water percolates down deep rather than dribbling a bit on every night. My wife agrees with him so he must be right!

Re: Why do we do it?
Always been into model trains one way or t'other. But I like gardening and being outdoors so it was always going to happen at some point. I remember a piece in Model Railway Constructor magazine in the late 1960's by G Lliffe Stokes on his gauge 1 garden line with 32mm narrow guage branch. Both line...
