FEF - Front End Friday - "Victoria" a RH Silver Lady at the Pine Hill Railway (PHRy)

Here is my contribution to the "Autumn Garden Railway" theme.

A Roundhouse Silver Lady "Victoria" with passenger coaches in misty weather at the Pine Hill Railway.

Little John is now working well. Problem solved. Notice to all: Make sure that main switch is turned off when you put your locomotive in the box after running session. If battery is complet flatt the charger will not be able to start charging these ni-ch batteries. After some carefull handling I did...

You need to take a step back and start with the basics. Disconnect the battery from all wiring connected to the loco and try and charge the battery with the charger separately. I have sent an email to Locoworks about the issue. As mentioned above there is a little challenge about remove the body fr...

I have disconnected the wires to the soundcard but there is no response in flashing lights on the charger. Looks like I would have to buy a new battery pack. Then there will be an other issue: Locoworks told me that the hood on the Little John is so tight over cables inside the hood that disassembly...

The battery in my Roundhouse Little John is maybe dead. The engine has also a sound module from Locoworks installed. Probably the engine was not stored with the mainswitch turned to "off". When connected to the original charger the charger flashes 4 times: red - green - red - green. And th...

I have stained some of my waggons with acrylic paint mixed with isopropanol. This gives a nice look to the woodstructure.

I think it look like a Garden Roller Coaster.

Hello Peter Sorry to see those trees down. We also have some high winds last week and full storm in the mountains with roads and railways closed due to extreme snowconditions. Our garden have 15 big pine trees - all of them about 75 ft tall. Im always a bit worried in the morning when inspecting my ...

We are still waiting. Hopefully it will arrive before mid-March.

Do they run well? I'll probably build some for my line quite soon - I wasn't sure how well they'd run with the long fixed coupling? They run well. The logs do not move longitudinally because of this spikes in the bottom of the cradle. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6x9vdcunr4ee4dc/Cradle%20500.JPG?raw=1...

New rolling stock have arrived to The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a pair of bolster wagons loaded with logs.

The heritage line - Urskog Høland Banen (UHB) in Norway have some nice narrow gauge wagons. One of them at Sørumsand station - the base of the line - is this bolster wagon. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xioxq9i34v2vin2/Bolster%20wagon%20UHB%20800.JPG?raw=1 Once back in the workshop I found some wheels a...

A few words about this competition. Hopefully some snow will come before mid-March. Thus, there is also the possibility of some nice winter pictures from the garden

Well done Kjell. Now please could we have your theme for the next gallery ( March 2020) by about 7th Jan. Theme for the March 2020 would be: «Winter on the Garden Railway» There is a few weeks left of the winter. Hopefully there be some white days before end of March 2020. And if not - you may have...

August 31 th - 2019 We had a steamup the last saturday of August. A few enthusiastic livesteam'ers did find the way to the PHRy, and had lot of fun running trains. And enjoying the barbecue and refreshments Here are some pics … https://www.dropbox.com/s/00g75spneg0birt/Stemning%20800.JPG?raw=1 Tom ...

Thanks for all comments! :D I like this kind of weathering: I do a mix of humbrol paints in different rusty colors and rusty powder colors on top of the wet paint. The wagon which I would like to make better is the Line Side Hut Runner Wagon. The lasercut ply makes a little strange look compared to ...
