RJR Daydreamer Garden Railway

[RJR]

Its been some considerable time since I have been active on here.

A couple of months ago I relayed all my garden track after making the decision I had invested too much time in building loco's to just abandon some where to stretch their legs..

Here are a couple of video taken in the last week

That is some interesting track you have there, what brand of track is it?

[RJR]

Second hand playmobil from Ebay, I'm a cheapskate.

[benchmark]

Are playmobil track weather resistant?

[RJR]

practically indestructible plastic. It has just gone through its third winter outside. looks no different than when I got it.

[benchmark]

If that is the case then i must commend you, that was a good idea.

[RJR]

Correct its a 25 scratchbuilt from plasticard





Its 2' long coach is a bit of a monster



I have a 20 as well



And a Garratt, again they are all plasticard scratchbuilds

NICE!

I remember following the early part of your class 20 build somewhere on't'web - it looks a beaut' now it's finished
(They were always run in pairs here in the E.Midlands - any chance you're going to make a second??? )

I would love to have a Class 37 with a decent sound chip and real working smoke!

Great work.

Cheers,

Tom

I would love a 37 too !!! Gave it a thought but the playmo motor blocks I use are twin axle not triple


Meanwhile this little steam loco hasn't run for nearly 2 years

There is something about your line that has got me hooked on following its posts. I love the fact you have taken mostly stuff from a child's toy range and turned them into believable models.

You have my respect

Looking forward to more!

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks Tom, tonight's offering is a passenger compilation
