Garden Railway Forum

That backscene is just so perfect!

Looking good! There is plenty of potential there for a superb railway.

Some great entries! Very high standard of images, I’m not sure who I will vote for!

An I.N. Spector calls... After a very long and tiring journey from "Down Under" my comfy travelling trunk has finally arrived back in the British Isles. On emerging, I appear to have arrived at a small goods shed on a rural railway. Fortunately there are some staff about, who look at me somewhat qui...

I might also have him but surely would be written up for being out of scale (running 5" gauge). I see no reason why that would be a hindrance. If you look at the forum masthead, it says "An international forum for garden railway modellers in all scales and gauges." If you want him to visit you, I'l...

It’s looking really good Rik, your railway seems to be ever expanding, business must booming in Cheshire!

A mysterious packing case has arrived at Claxton Percy on the Bishops Woodland Light Railway.

The staff are baffled, whatever could it be….

Full marks on the backscene painting. Looks like the gardener in the second photo is having a crafty kip ..... :D Rik Exactly what I thought, on both counts. :D He’d obviously been consuming too much of the local brewery products. Drink on duty, disgraceful! ;) The back scene was the work of my mum...

Thanks for the comments on the hand lettering :) I’ve lettered the tool wagon using vinyl to match my existing departmental wagons. 506D5E43-E314-4C39-8EF7-9015F9A549A3.jpeg The above photo taken on the indoor line mentioned before. Here is the end of the layout before the new extension: 60A938CC-AC...

Some blooming good entries so far!

I'm testing the parameters with this one. Does 'in bloom' mean flowers only or will any sort of foliage qualify? Not sure Rik. I have my view here, but I've asked Peter (BWLR) for his thoughts since it is his theme. Lovely picture BTW, this is shaping up to be a good competition! I’m ok with attrac...

It has been a few months since my last update. However I have been keeping things ticking along with various projects including adding to my stock of wagons. E88A6FEC-E901-4DBE-A102-CDC889CA215C.jpeg I’ve built 3 wagon kits over the winter. Firstly a couple of Brandbright vans that I’ve had in stock...

A very high standard of entries this time and I think reflected by the votes being spread out amongst all the photos. I’ll have a think about a theme for the next comp.

A RH Silver Lady with R/C is £2371 or £2064 manual new,so guess that would be a guide for a recently purchased example.

Some good(s)photos there!

A real shame to see them close, they produced some really nice kits. I have a couple of their Corris clerestory carriages in regular use.

I’m just loving that overgrown track Andrew!

That’s a good pic Ted

I don’t have much in the way of double heading action in my saved photos and the weather isn’t really conducive to getting the trains out for a play just now. However I will enter this still from a video I made a couple of summers ago.
