Garden Railway Forum

Thanks Tony.

Some very welcome information there. Like the way you can store the track in the garage too.

some nice bit of night running Tony, bit dark at the top end though. I don't think I would be brave enough to run mine when it's that dark....But you never know....

Can you tell me please what is that tressel keeping your boards up....

That warm up lap was a bit frantic Tony. But when it settled down it was running a dream...Love it..

Can I ask, is the tender a working model. It was holding water, so I am thinking it supplied the engine.....

Agree with bazzer42, the colour scheme looks great. It's a simple solution, that's well thought out.

Isn't it Derek. I just love the way Tom has perfected the shunting of his stock...

Got to get a photo of it then Tom.

Nice a neat them Andrew.

Unfortunately I don't hav...

And me also.

But brilliant work on the painting.

Not much of a problem with wild animals. It's the blooming cats that humans have....Where ever we have lived they seem to make a bee line for our lawns, why lawns. I was always under the impression they covered their mess with soil. And Spiders are my worse, they get everywhere, don't mind them per-...

Brilliant Tom. Job well done indeed.

Can't be doing with adverts Tom. Thats why this is such a brilliant forum.

Every time I see your line it's gets better Graeme...

Brilliant Mitch, great looking loco....

Mitch, well done on getting those photos up mate. I love the Banner one. Billy "George" and Alfie are fine looking locos also.

Hope to see more photos of your brilliant work mate.

So are you going to get one Tony...

You can't go wrong with Peter's advice. He is a master at modelling and some of his painting on his stock is actually really superb. My one input would be, Take your time and don't rush it. Also do any prepping and any painting in a warm environment and has dust free as possible. I am sure you will ...

Some brilliant photos Jake of some really great looking locos.

Thanks Tony...
