Garden Railway Forum

There is a picture on this thread: http://gardenrails.myfreeforum.org/ftopic7599-0.php Not my pic but I knew it was there! The only problem with "pictures" is that they're notoriously inaccurate for colour reference. Different lighting conditions, angles, camera's, computer displays / pri...

Looks like Sir Haydn got the last correct answer, but he should have posted last year but didn't Probably because this happened - Having enjoyed thr christmas quiz I thought an all year round one was in order. the rule are simple Whoever answers the question correctly and is confirmed be the person...

Foam's good and weatherproof ~ the "ultra low relief" row is just a sheet of foam, while the grey "back-to-back terrace" is sheet foam construction with a plastic roof and resin shop fronts on the street side.

I dunno if there's going to be a "Christmas Quiz" this year (since it became the [dis]Continuous Quiz :roll: ), but here's a little project for the holidays ;) The "Good and the Bad" can be used in a Sticky to show what to look for, and the rest should give newcomers an idea of ...

That looks very nice Jim (and any photo with a steam loco, bottle of Ameretto and a cat in the frame gets a thumbs-up from me! )

I dunno if there's going to be a "Christmas Quiz" this year (since it became the [dis]Continuous Quiz :roll: ), but here's a little project for the holidays ;) The topic of hard & soft water keeps cropping up, and what to use in the loco boilers, so........ Post a photo of the inside o...

What competition?

It is a good idea, especially with plenty of advance notice

Many thanks for the info :D We're just about to set off gigging for the weekend, so I'll say here and now that portability is a must. We often end up in the middle of nowhere, well away from light polution where the night sky looks amazing compared to home - a 'scope would be marvelous in those con...

Thanks Tom, PM on its way

I'd just like to point out to anyone else replying to this thread that I'll be away until Sunday, but fear not, I will reply to any offers / suggestions asap

My nephew has shown an interest in Warhammer 40K ~ I'd like to seize the opportunity to try and surgically remove him away from the Xbox and get him into modelling (who knows, the first steps might lead him eventually "onto the rails"??) He's building up his army and I want to get my own s...

It seems to me that you really are getting into this "blind", so my best advice would be to get along to somewhere (local track / garden) and actually see some loco's running. Trust me ~ it'll answer loads of your questions (and spark off loads more ;) ) and chatting to owners face-to-face...
