Garden Railway Forum

Agreed Peter, I have little knowledge about 'real' railways so my ambition is to create an overall impression of what I think it should represent. With all the infrastructure surrounding my line it is difficult to concentrate on any one item allowing me to be more flexible with detailing. Also, the...

Nice paint job. I love the colours..

They are really good Peter. You have given me an idea now to use the full sheets of ply I used to line the shed at my old address. I must have at least 3 full sheets and and loads of half sheets also. Haven't got your carpenter skills though Peter, mine my be a bit all over the place.... :lol: :lol:...

Thats an amazing way of doing your roofs Jon, did you do it in go......

I am like you also Jon, only been doing railways for about 5 years, 2 on 16mm. No idea about how the daily runnings were......

Agree. Very nice looking Loco and the whistle sounds great too.

Nice job on the detailing Jon. It's a really fine looking coach..

Thank you Andrew. I like the way he uses light at different times of the day to show how it gives atmosphere to his painting. Also they are giving us an insight into how we live day by day, although the pace of life was slower in his day, I guess anyone who was to try and paint the same way now, wou...

Great write up of the opening day and the video is brilliant, showing the power of your Garrets..

Oh dear Tom, you must be gutted. I know I would be. Hope it gets resolved soon.....

That's a good one Rod when it took over a year for you to open your parcel.

Your rolling stock are getting more and more Peter. Soon be running has a train hey...

Loving the lighting Rod, it looks wonderful! Those pools of light are so atmospheric, you've got it just right - it made me think of Edward Hopper... https://uploads2.wikiart.org/00129/images/edward-hopper/nighthawks.jpg Thanks Andrew. It took a bit of work getting the wiring sorted, getting better...

I would love too Dave, but I am a youngster, only been doing garden rail for just under 2 years...

Hi George, Putting videos on to the forum is easy enough mate. When you are playing the video on Youtube, Click the share button, then click copy, I then click the highlighted txt and click copy. Then on the "Post A Reply" page on our forum, click the video button. It will show in the repl...

Come on Tom, your keeping us in suspense........

I don't get it....I always feel 10 years younger.........

Tom, thankfully our forum isn't like Facebook and generally it's very honest in it's opinions and because you don't think it's rubbish do we need to all have the same opinion. I do think it's rubbish for that money. Tony's is a far better job and looks like a real working loco. And we can't comment ...

I would have had it completely down also Phil, but the landlord wanted to leave some of it.

May get that guy to come and see if he wants some more big trunks for his sculpting...

No matter who has done the paint job....It's not new...getting that price is living in dream land, has a lot of them are, and like Tom and other members have said, it's a rubbish job..... Much prefer this...... What does the panel think a fair price would be for the yellow Lilla? A brand new yellow ...
