Garden Railway Forum

Just read your post Rik, I'am sorry.
It amazes me how your skills develop to a level that is just brilliant in want you do and turn out such fantastic models, wether it be buildings or locos. I wish a had a modicum of your skills, then I would be in a truly superb world....

That's a great idea Tom.

Has Andy stated Peter.
That is truly a work of art, that would grace anywhere it was placed. One day I hope to achieve something resembling your work.

Knowing how hard you and MAM have worked on your line with all the landscaping and permanent way work done, this will be one heck of a line to be very proud of.

Not much happening here at the moment, poor weather recently and not a kit in sight! I did a quick inspection of the railway to check on plant growth, storm damage etc. and discovered this......

Looking good Dave.

Just remember though Tom, no matter which way or how you cut Plasticard, slow and steady is the best. Taking time to cut any material for building models is the best. For cutting Plasticard with a knife I always try to cut along a metal ruler that is clamped down on to the card if possible. And cutt...

Very nice line and the Russell does run smooth. The greenery will add even more when in full bloom, even if your'e not AT...."Alan Titchmarsh"

Fantastic job on the points and even more with your modular build Tony.

Just wish I had the skills to make something resembling what you have done, even just a little tiny bit would do...

Great job on those wagons and your weathering is excellent.

Great seeing MAM planting some flora. It won't be long before your line will be the showpiece it deserves.

Great start on your loco Tom. Can I help with a suggestion on the holes for the spectacle plate. If you have any wood drill bits, the ones that have the long point, you can drill the plasticard quite easily and get a better finish. I do mine secured on a wooden block with clamps and going slowly wit...

Great job on the models. You are quick on your builds...

I had my benches for over two years before I got to build them. Now looking through the kit box I have found some Binnie wagons and a IP wagon...

Very nice smooth operating. Are you operating both locos from the same controller

Great videos by the way

Great photos of some very nice locos Jake.

Now that is a train. Looks brilliant Peter and so in keeping with your line, which by the way is still one of the best on the forum.

Thanks for your reply Graeme. It looks like the website won't work in European countries I'am afraid

Still you have explained a bit more about what a "Lambs Tongue" is. Thank you.

One thing that is interesting looking at the front page of the magazine, is the article about "Building old kits found at the back of the cupboard"

I am betting we all have something we have almost forgotten about...

This is the new front page of the magazine. 1F7668F1-CE62-49EE-8CE0-F82ECC2D353B.jpeg One thing though, since I commented on how thin the magazine was in the May issue, I didn't receive June's until I had to write to Warners and tell them. Then this morning I received a letter to say I had only one ...
