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

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 ...

Thanks Keith S.
I have 2 other steam engines, and I dont look so much at those pressure gauges either.
I maybe want to install the pressure gauge later.

I have bogies on my Brandbright 4-wheel coaches, and I am very pleased with them running in sharp curves. I have a 2,5 foot radius curve on my Pine Hill Railway. Here is a pic of my first built coach. The bogies are the simple plate frame from Brandbright. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zecup8qc0fbmql5/A...

Greetings from the Pine Hill Railway (PHRy).
I wish everyone here on this fabulous forum a Merry Christmas and a Happy Year.

A few days ago I got my new RH Jenny in house. Black with red lining (pics will soon come here). I got a r/c-kit and a pressure gauge. And will during winter start installation of these. But I also want a steam whistle installed to. Could anyone here recommend what brand and where to put resonator a...

I have received some extra nuts and bolts now. Thanks for Your help. But something different: I may have seen some nice tracks, turnouts and wagonturntables from Atropos (or an other brand). Does anyone here knows about websites which shows this kind of trackworks. It would be very nice on my garden...

Thank you.

I have started building a Penrhyn Quarry Rubbish Wagon from Atropos Garden Railway Equipment. Unfortunately I have lost one of the 12BA lock nut and it’s too small to find somewhere on the floor under my workbench. :? Does anyone have an e-mail-address to Atropos Garden Railway Equipment. So I can s...

I like that a lot.

The frame and rimes needs som rusty enamel colors mixed with powder colors.
The tires and sides of the car will look better with some mud. Try to apply mud acrylic colors mixed with plaster.

Then the pig would feel much more comfy ...
