Garden Railway Forum

I purchased a box from them at the large scale exhibition and ordered a cradle to be collected at the AGM. Come AGM no cradle. I shall knock something up myself and cancel the order.

Good luck Chris. I understand an ipad can prodduce acceptable pictures so post away. I am still at the planning stage with my railway after 10 years :) I'll get a round tuit one day. :D I look forward to seeing pictures of the construction. It might inspire me. I have been considering using posts an...

I read somewhere that rainwater is not pure. It absorbs the chemicals in the atmosphere and can come down as acid rain. If so I suspect it is quite weak though.

No problem Rebelego.

They are quite big. I have only had 4 wheel goods wagons up to now and was a little surprised how big they appear in comparison. Hopefully the info may help anyone else who is considering buying one or more.

Very nice conversion! What is the size of the Newqida coach? If it comes in a box it would be nice to know the size of the box as well. Thanks. Hi Rebelego, sorry for the delay. The coaches are approx 575mm long over the couplings/buffers (23 5/8"), 110mm wide (4 5/16") and 165mm tall (6 ...

Very impressive Doug. I really must press on with mine.

I love my Lady Anne and would consider a Jack if available. The latest releases are not of any interest to me.

I have just started using water from my condenser tumble dryer. I filter it through an old Britta water filter. I recall reading somewhere that the water is acceptable, provided it is filtered. Previously I had been buying distilled water.

Very nice conversion! What is the size of the Newqida coach? If it comes in a box it would be nice to know the size of the box as well. Thanks. Hi Rebelego, I will measure mine up including the boxes as they are still in their boxes. I haven't got round to doing anything with them yet. Regards, Ian

Hi Doug, My rake will be finished in a livery approximating to BR blood and custard. They will run behind my Lady Anne which is in maroon. One of the coaches will be modified into a brake vehicle but I haven't yet finalised any plans for it. I looked at the GRS vents and they appeared to need a lot ...

They're looking good Doug. I can't wait to see some pictures of the guards coach and the finished rake.

Mine have arrived and I am slowly acquiring all the necessary parts to start work on them.

IMHO Direct Debits are quite safe and reliable. It is quite difficult for businesses and organisations to become a direct debit originator. Only the largest and most financially sound can become originators. All banks have an indemnity scheme in place whereby they will make an immediate refund to cu...

Super picture. Love the atmosphere it conveys.

Dougrail, Many thanks for your reply and the information. I must admit following my first reading of your thread I ordered one which I am awaiting delivery of, to take a closer look at them. I will almost certainly order 2 or 3 more. One will be converted to a brake coach. Possibly along the lines o...

Great thread. I have been in need of some passenger stock and this has convinced me to have a go at converting some. Please can you let me know what wheels you ordered from GRS (wheel and axle diameter) and what mods are required to change the couplings? Thanks,

Ian
