Garden Railway Forum

There will also be another little surprise with the return of an old friend.....

-From Roundhouse on facebook.
Let the speculation begin!

Ah I see!
Afew of our engines are also in need of a rebuild, so we usually only use 5 engines atm...

Thank you everyone!
I resized the pics, they're on the Railways and Layouts page.

I won't be bringing a loco Sunday so I'll make sure I bring a camera instead

Why no engine?

Today was a nice day, and because the buildings have started to be placed out, I thought I'd take some pictures of the 1st test run. ./myff/1280144/rsz_002.jpg ./myff/1280188/rsz_11003.jpg ./myff/1280170/rsz_005.jpg ./myff/1280171/rsz_006.jpg ./myff/1280172/rsz_007.jpg ./myff/1280174/rsz_008.jpg ./m...

Thank you!
I shall look at modifying them right now!

The pictures are stored on my computers hard drive. I'm using the forums "Attach file" method to upload them. The pictures are 3648X2736, but I have set them to be reduced to the forums recommended on the Attach File menu. I think it's a property of the camera, as my fathers camera is a si...

Hi all,
I know it isn't garden raiway related, but I can't seem to post pictures from my camera. It's a Canon PowerShot A480
Do any of the forum users have a solution to the problem?
Thanks

The new LVLR is now finished, well, track wise: The stations still need to be finished! As some of you know, the LVLR has been through 2 major changes: One in 2004 and the other in winter 2011-present. Here are the original and 2nd refit respectively: ./myff/1268839/LVLR%25201996-2002%2520plan.jpg ....

They're all STUNNERS!!
What chassis did you use for Talyllyn? I know it doesnt use the Bertie chassis that Corris 3 uses.

The weed starting growing within the MYOB patches, and once that happened we had to remove the infected patch in order to stop it. But it didnt work!

The Old Colonials are very special engines in my opinion, as they have many features that eventually made it onto the Lady Anne, such as the bunker and the 6-coupled arrangement.
A group member also has a Tom Rolt and a later Pooter, but I don't have any pictures of these YET!

Are you planning it to pull a load (hide it in a wagon)?

It looks like it was a most attractive railway. May I ask why the rebuild? The railway was designed to be suitable to the public, so it was a fairly small oval in the offset center of the garden, complete with village, fields ect. However, the upkeep was continuous, and when a wead got into our &qu...

Thanks everyone for the comments! :) I have a video of the last open weekend (2011), many of these pictures are from the event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IchY6is4nY *SPOILERS* Features double headers - including a "super-power" double header (I'll leave you to work out what engines a...

Add a Ceramic burner! Superior to the FG burner in every way in my opinion: Quieter, easier on fuel, and produces ALOT more heat!
Forest Classics is the company that sells them.

wow! Thanks! :) I will add pictures of the new line once it is open for use (it still needs adjustments to get the NGG16 round!) I really do like the third picture down, pity about the orange safety neting in the background, but its a real railway picture with the train in the scenery. Very Nice ! ...

The LVLRly is almost completely rebuilt, so I though I'd share some classic pictures of the good ol' days; when it was open to the public. :) ./myff/1248786/LVLR_2010_MM_Little%2520Forester.jpg ./myff/1248787/LVLR_2011_Milennium_LV.jpg ./myff/1248788/LVLR_2011_Taliesin.jpg ./myff/1248793/LVLR_2010_M...

Should I get a photo without the tender and post it as a Mildred?

Isn't that cheating?
I'm joking!

Great pics everyone!

They all look great!
