Garden Railway Forum

Good to see a log train Mitch, so when you going to build a Saw Mill. I could advise against it, as a project they don't seem to end!!!!!
Grant.

Hi folks, thanks for the lovely responses!, and for your question grant i am planning on buiding a sawmill and siding for it in the future but i dont know where im going to put it yet!.
mitch

Go for it Mitch. The more the merrier on lines is my philosophy....

Hey folks, been a bit happening lately so i thought i might share!.
I have got another Coach for the line which one of my friends has done a excellent job of bashing it for me Mt Lyell Coach no 2 for the CCT sits in my friends workshop.

Me and Cooltrain caught up for a steam a couple of weeks back and we had a nice time running trains together. Cool Trains Billy "george" with "robin' outside the sheds,
will post more soon including some exciting plans...

Mitch

Hey folks, had a bit of time of the Forum for a while but i havent gone away completely!, i have been busy running trains around the line and figuring out my Baldwin as time permits. Mitch

Your station area is looking better each time, that engine sheds a beauty!
Nice steam plumes too, one advantage of running in the cooler months.

Hey Folks, Well a little bit has Happened Lately.....,

Robin is Red carded for the moment due to needing new piston rings ..

Hoping i can have my Baldwin Done soon though!

Mitch

Got to ask Mitch, how come new rings so early in it's life.
Grant.

Hey Grant, I have ran robin pretty much every week since I got it but the RHS ring desperately needs replacement for it to run again.

Mitch

Hey Folks, Been busy with school to post much pics lately but i havent died off completely, Robin is Back from Overhaul and it double headed with goblin on Saturday Night . Enjoy the Pics!

Mitch

I like the busy shed scene.

I'm guessing you didn't have any hands free for photography while you were double-heading two manual locos - one of them a Mamod?! Sounds fun though...

Andrew.

I agree with the shed photo. Love the steam.....

Good to see "Robin" back in steam. How does "Goblin" run? I had an MSS years ago, but gave up on getting it to work and sold it on.
Love the running shed too. One of these days I'll have to build one like it.

Hey Aaron, Goblin goes well enough for a tablet fired mamod, normally half a lap on my line before she runs out of fire.

Thanks for all the Compliments folks.

Mitch

Hey folks, a few months has gone by since i last posted so here we go..
The Biggest news of them all is after some negogiations mr In Spectre is visiting the CCT!! so i will be doing a report on that soon enough...
Now for the Purchases List ..
4x Bachmann Tippers
1x Bachmann Porter which is due to be converted to battery power as soon as funds permit for a locoremote reciever .
Mitch

Hey All, sorry for the lack of postings, working a part time job and having a car + Volunteering at two railways has taken up a lot of my time for running Steam trains in my garden lately, All the locos are performing well, the porter is due to be converted to Battery Power very soon by a friend of mine for use on the CCT .
