Garden Railway Forum

Brilliant. I must pop into my local library to see if there's anything like that for my area.

Hello Howie. A welcome to the forum from me too. I'll add my list to those who've already expressed an interest in seeing and hearing more about your railway.

Yes, it's a beautiful bridge. I have no plans for one on my line, but all these bridge threads are weakening my resolve!

I never realised Egypt was such a boring place to visit with nothing to do except doodle on laptops! On the other hand it is clearly inspirational and brought out the creative spirit in you Philip. I like the look of the bridge design and how it sits in your virtual landscape. Thinking 'outside the...

Sorry, Way beyond my skills to so I can't help. I hope someone can make something of it.

Good to hear from your Rod. Take your time in getting back up to speed. It's not a race.

Useful additions to the fleet. (My lawn is recovering, albeit slowly. I'll invest in a water butt for next year and keep all the waste water for the lawn!)

Pleased to hear the positive news. Enjoy the break.

It is tragic. Egypt has so much to offer and the locals are no less friendly than anywhere else in the world. The police where everywhere at the time of our visit. They were armed too. If was two brothers who had one of the Fellucas named Maggie Moon that acted as unofficial guides for us and showed...

My cheapo building is wagons from lolly sticks and coffee stirrers. The aim is to build wagons for less than £20 after buying wheels, axleboxes and buffers. Everything else is from bits 'n' pieces I already have. I should peruse the auction sites more.

We went in November 2005. The weather was hot, in the 90s with no sign of rain! The locals were wearing two or three layers of clothes complaining it was cold! I've heard reports that the tourists are staying away because of the unrest. I suspect that's why we are getting reports of new findings in ...

That's a lovely looking model Rik - I love the tank in particular. It reminds me of this one that the Bluebell have recently constructed at East Grinstead... The blog write-up's really helpful - that and your other posts will certainly be informing my methods as I make more buildings for my line......

That's very impressive. I'm with Andrew on buildings. Just not my thing, but I suppose I'm going to have to tackle them some day.

If you let the safety valve blow off in the shed is that a school boy error? I think I read that somewhere? It is on the railway where I volunteer. The safety valve is tested as part of the FTR (fit to run) exam. For a light engine move loco's don't need full pressure. on a preserved railway in the...

Enjoy Luxor. I have fond memories of Luxor. I took my daughter there as part of her 18th birthday present. on her birthday she went into Tutankhamun's tomb. Would love to go back again. So much to see.
