Garden Railway Forum

It was a busy weekend on the CHLR - below is a link to the latest report http://chlrailway.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/work-continues-on-extension.html It was also a great days for moody photos - I have no steam yet so have to rely on the weather - here is a standard view of No.2 Jessie passing over the ...

Deffo agree with the chairman - its got to be a dog (well 2 in my case!) - Before the dogs, I tried all the commercially available anti cat products but nothing worked!

Brilliant - use of the screw eyes - genius!

Good old Poundland - I have various houses lit by their LED set ups

That's my approach too! Better security and less corrosion - double win

Again - quality modeling! Setting the standard as usual Peter

They look good - I like the gradient signs especially One quick query to you and any others, how do you attach your platforms to the ground? I have problems in getting my to stay put - I've tried various bonding/stick products - just wondered what others use? My are wooden and need sticking to woode...

Lovely wagons - very jealous

I love the sun at this time of year when it puts in an appearance - the ones below were taken on Saturday morning with :- a) the PW line checking Wickham Trolley, driven by Philpot meets up with our local postman, Pat for an early morning chat. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ndVuzE8DTOw/WDYJyKOorZI/AAAA...

This weekend, before the big winds, the railway management managed to run some bird for relief trains up the line to the bird feeder - here we see number 3 (now proudly showing its 'Kenny' name plates) easing over the bridge out onto the phase 2 section of track.

Hi Piotr It's Mark - the markoteal bit came about hone email addresses first came out - my full name had already been taken and I was thinking of a different naming approach so joined my first name with the first word in my address - (Teal Court) - the 'o' was just something to join them together! T...

Hi - we avoided the worst of it - just heavy leaf fall in Junction Station area - see the photo below before the PW team got busy on double time! And the roof of Junction Station had worked loose and was 'flapping in the wind' https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RmqkK_Iijs4/WDIcdsO5q9I/AAAAAAAABX4/LaMSIU_ExC...

Anyone else have building from Stirrers to show? Here's my latest stirrer items - its the goods yard platform that sits at the end of the line at the CHLR where freight goods are transferred from NG to the main network - through a gap in the fence to Churn Sidings Installed this weekend - its all a...

Nice work - its great that we can convert items like this - just keeping my eye out for suitable donor engines in the local charity/bargain shops - then visit small relatives can have a play without 'dinging' anything valuable! And if they really like it, its a great Christmas pressies with some che...

Yes - be good to see an article in the future how you go about doing the silicone casting - interested to learn about it

That belonged to a deceased member... it was part of a collection I assisted in rehoming for the widow. It has character and was one of two steam locos that the gent owned... I would hope that members on this forum would not be so judgemental of others work. The railway this ran on was truly a piec...

I agree - there is something about that is tempting..........it looks a wreck but looks to have loads of character ( and no doubt wheezy cylinders!) - now if it were under £100 my finger would be itching on the bid button

At £200, must have a gold firebox or something!

Lovely dogs - must be something in the Springer & NG thing here's Lola, my 8 year old English Springer



Always happy to have a sniff at what's going on!

Is the carpet still down under there Zac?

Zac - its great to see the railway in action again - and boy how has blended perfectly into the countryside it travels through - brilliant to see after your many years of effort documented on the forum
