Garden Railway Forum

Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with pdf models for more information please? There doesn't seem to be a contact option on the website.

Clever use of a broom handle but have you tried sweeping up whilst kneeling down?

Some lovely pictures there... great plant cover and general scenics. The track inspection vehicle is wonderful, you spoil your team!

Nice work there, and what a difference it makes to see the green leaf and ground cover coming back.
You might find maintenance becomes a regular event.

Very effective paint and weathering work on the wagon.... just lovely!

LNR...... I just couldn't live with the finish on the smokeboxes so I have removed the paint and will try again...... not that I am a perfectionist or anything! There is some good news however, I have lining transfers being made to measure which should arrive within the next day or so, plus correct ...

LNR, I heeded your warning about removal of the tape and approached with caution... the result was a great success, in my opinion, especially as it is only the second time I have used Tamiya masking tape, which is the best thing since red wine!!! All of the lines are straight and crisp with no bleed...

Well I have eventually got round to working towards getting the Fairlie finished. It has already been sprayed with etch primer then a first coat of satin black all over. Having allowed (too) many days to harden I have masked off the areas which I want to remain black so that a further spray coat of ...

Wow!!!!! That works for me.

Absolutely stunning images.... if they were toned in sepia and 'aged' it would be a job to tell them from the real thing.

Your'e still on the Register then?

Yeah, yeah...... so its April fools day again and we can't believe a word you say! Pull the other one.

I agree with Brian, your weathering looks just right and the scratch-built wagons are very impressive too.
Give us an idea of the materials you use please.

Do you get all of your visitors to lie on the ground to appreciate the wonderful railway you have created? They should do to get the best possible views as it looks so convincing at this height.

This morning our new garden railway track cleaner started work!



Regards Tony.

Tony, having seen your previous posts I expected you to follow this announcement up with a video of the pheasant stuffed and motorised!

Superb.... Tesco has a whole new attraction for me now!

Lovely... back stories too! Today I was at a Toy and Train Fair and asked a stall holder for heads. No problem, she said, 'We get all sorts of figures delivered in various forms of destruction and when we see you next (two weeks) we will bring some for you'. So all I need to do is add, or modify, bo...

What a complete and utter cock-up this whole affair has proved to be.... not only is the Association in danger of losing members, and therefore finance, it is also being charged for the 'Service'. On top of that, this Forum is in serious danger of being split apart by opposing factions of doubters a...

Wow!!!! I can't offer any useful information on construction I fear, but I am very interested to see how you tackle the project and watch the progress.... please let us see as it grows.
What area will it cover and how high will the incline be?
Sounds just wonderful, and so different.

Some might call that 'weathering'
