Garden Railway Forum

The Q1T (or would it be a Q2 ?) is a lovely chunky beast.

Hi Tony and Scrat https://i.ibb.co/Htt3Y1d/20220705-202734.jpg P375 LNWR Blackberry Black from the Phoenix range I bought this in the mistaken belief that is was the dark component of the LNWR (and Ffestiniog) Blackberries and cream livery. But it is the loco livery apparently. The coach livery is L...

Good to see an indoor working layout of this complexity in this scale.

Ah! A joy to see. One of my favourite garden railways, and all the better for being a bit different. I love all the SR nostalgia.

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...

I love to see models of corrugated iron structures. Good old wriggly tin.

Good to see that people are not put off 16mm scale by lack of space. This should be fun.
Also good to see Egor's developments.

The railway in the natural landscape represents for many of us how the world should really be. My wife and myself are keen gardening types so it combines two interests. Keith has nailed it with his description of modeling an ideal world. I also dabble in 00 but there will be no double yellow parking...

Mamods are fun but can be frustrating. Most people who get the best out of them seem to spend some money upgrading them.

If you spend enough money you can probably turn a Ford Focus into a Mustang but you may have been better buying a Mustang in the first place.

All looking Grand there!

You have the knack of capturing the spirit of the real thing and converting it to your own scale/gauge combo. Once again... superb!

I don't know if Peco are ever going to get themselves reset after the pandemic.
I ordered a Peco SM32 point from Rails of Sheffield in May 2021.
Apparently it's still on back order!

What a brilliant idea. A stylish and practical item of rolling stock.

This is one of my favourite threads and I always look forward to what Southernesque delights may emerge from your immensely capable workshop.

Excuse the stupid question but how do we register on the poll?

Ah yes, the waiver book. Great idea! Was that Mr Ed we saw, the famous talking horse?

It's worth building for the spark arrestor chimney for a start. It looks like a genie might pop out if conditions were favourable.

Looks like a fun session, with the Mule earning its keep.

Wishing you a speedy return to good health Rod. Good luck with the new modelling plans!

"I believe that Hydrogen powered vehicles are being proposed for heavier load hauling."

Yes, that seems like a more sensible option for heavy duty use maybe. I heard that JCB are leading the field in this.
