Garden Railway Forum

I like what you have done with the cab inside Peter, it's looks just about right I think.

How about putting something like one of those old tractor seats for the driver, you could maybe then put some kind of fixing like small magnets to him and the seat.

Truly brilliant re-model Bertie.

Found out yesterday that my elder brother passed away last Friday, he had something with his diabetes that made him ill over several weeks and unfortunately he passed away. He was a great influence in my enjoyment of garden railways, all though he never missed an opportunity to have a little dig of ...

Thanks Dazza, will look forward to your photos mate.

It does look good though Peter. Think I need to pull you know what out and get on with finishing projects from years ago.

I thought it was a brilliant video Dazza, it's showing us the fantastic progress you have been making these last months our so, I know it's taken a lot longer than that mate. I love all the planting of the greenery, MAM has been doing a lot with them. Can you ask or tell me how to get my own cacti t...

At the start of the video you will see the prop doesn't look like they are moving fast, but I ca...

See I said you are a quick builder... It looks fantastic Peter.

If that doesn't work Phil, I use 0.8mm plywood and soak it in warm water for half a minute and it will go in to any shape you want it to, so long as you cut the piece length ways with the grain. It will glue in place easily with no problem. I use Everbuild super glue put on with a straightened paper...

Hopefully nothing Peter.

Thanks Phil, I will get around to giving them a call.

That chair jig is brilliant by the way, got to keep them correct hey...

So is mine, the filler-primer that is.

Looking fantastic already Peter, the post are a bit erratic around here at the moment. I have been waiting for some ply for 7 days now and still no sign of it coming.

Really neat way of making the handles Phil

I have so many jigs for this and that it takes me awhile to remember what there for

What kits are those your building, I would have thought spacers would be included..
