Re: Garden Railway Gallery, Winners Thread

Cheers folks! I have to say the credit should go to the builders of the railway for providing the picturesque scene. Not me!

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway

I really admire the way you've made the most out of the available space. I can already tell the landscaping is going to look very convincing once the greenery takes over :thumbright:

Re: eBay 'Cain Howley' structures for sale

I was interested in these too Rik but I won't tread on your toes and bid as that will only make them more expensive. If you get them cheap I'd be interested in a couple if they don't fit your railway :D :thumbright: Good luck! Hopefully collection only will keep bidding down

Re: Signal box Refurbishment

Cheers Rik! To continue the build, here is the first window I trialled. It uses the joining method shown in the last post to hold it all together. I have also added a simple frame to the window in the door as well. IMG_3711.jpg As I was happy with how the side windows looked so I turned my attention...
