Garden Railway Forum

blooming marvelous
Nice to see how some of the railways are set out and how they fit into people's garden

I really should do one of the DVLR but fear that it would last about 30 seconds at most!!!

Woah woah woah! Hang on! I do not want to upset anyone on this forum. The wagon train was fantastic esspecially when ALL the wagons of both gauges were lined up togethor! What we have learnt from this little 'debate' is that I need to bring my camera next time and that each gauge is as good as the o...

Didn't bring me camera!- This was a stupid move as I would have loved to capture it!

I did not meen to set off a battle of the gauges!
Each guage is fantastic for modeling it's own railways and prototypes. Or just for what you prefer. (Or for me the cheaper option!! )

I mearly thought that the 45mm gauge efferts were worth a little bit of film as well!

Looks like the DVLR loco fleet might expand in the future! I like edrigs but I already have a millie and I like a bit of variation!
For colour sugestions a nice deep blue would be good like the colour of the accucraft exelcior!

This is only the 32mm gauge!
The 45mm gauge wagon train ( albeit consisting of only 4 wagons) was just as important! It also included my one modified to transport a bottle of vinigar around!

At stoneleigh this year whilst waiting to talk to someone on the accucraft stand about my out of time excelsior (now sorted) I did happen to catch a conversation with the head- is it Mr. Pearce or someone? Anyway this envolved stopping the edrigs and the caradocs and creating a sort of merge between...

Oh!
Hahaha silly me! That will be rectified post haste. Thankyou very much indeed. I clearly would never have spotted!

Indeed I do wonder what it is that belongs to the locos!

Oh right, did you have the 7/8th scale driver?

wasn't really sure where to put this but jsut so your all aware I have a new website!
It is www.dvlr.info
Still under construction but once going will be updated regularly I promise!

I fear that this may be a bit latre for the original graphics lesson graph but where is the Great Easten Railway? By far my favorite!

In reponce to the bogie- 4 wheel coach issue, the wisbech Upwell tramway had several 4 wheel carriage of a similar design to the bogie carriages. There is a very good picture of a Y6 tram and said 4 wheel carraiges in the book 'Lost Railways of East Anglia'
Hope some of this info helped[/quote]

Ha Ha

Fantastic! Looks like a great new bit of line and amazingly quick to, although you do have alot of time to do it in being off school now an' all! (grrrr)

In responce to an earlier comment about marklin track: I too am a 45miller, I use old gauge 1 track which is really of a too fine scale for 16mm gauge however works perfectly with accucraft, roundhouse, Andel, IP and many other brands exept LGB stuff which the flanges are too big! I am currently wor...

These look perfect for my railway! I have been looking for some bogie stock to run on the DVLR for quite some time (I only have 4 wheel stock currently!) I have offered to write an article about them for AnDel so keep an eye out in garden rail in a couple of months! I would, however, like to so one ...

My railway is limited to 10 axil trains under the strict following of the 'light garden railway act' passed after negotions between the manager of the DVLR and the domestic authorities. The railway is also limited to 15 mph!

I have a tiny station on my line in a shed. It gets a lot of goods traffic from the maltings which I plan to build. I was thinking of turning it into a small exhibition layout also
