Garden Railway Forum

Blast! I was at Bicton earlier in the year. Being my usual frugal self, I never looked at what was in the shop for sale . Must keep a better eye out when out and about.

I would guess something in the region of the price of the Beyer-Garratt; articulated loco with two power units.

The additional 0.8mm end frets arrived today. A quick dry run showed they will solve the problem. Now glued on and will try again when all dried :thumbup:. A quick response from Lineside Hut to solve this problem. Photos of progress to follow, but now off to move 3 ponies who trashed an electric fen...

I can’t really help you you with recommending a glue for that. I’m painting by hand for the brake van as good stock does not really require a high quality finish. I’m not after the Accucraft RTR finish, which to me doesn’t look right for goods stock. Somewhere on the ‘net I saw somebody build a Bran...

Watching with interest Paul and learning from your experience! My current (first time wooden kit) build is Lineside Hut's four compartment carriage, which I am painting before assembly. What adhesive should I use to attach painted wood sections to each other both on flat and corner joins? Peter, I’...

This rather imposing title is for my proposed line, to be built after we have moved house. It seems to be a fact of railways history, the longer the title of a railway, the more insignificant it is! In this case, it was an actual proposal for a railway to link Hartland and Clovelly with the national...

Before I report on further progress, some incidental notes. For reference, I am using: The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway. Guy Williams. Wild Swan. Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway. The original service years - 1903 to 56 - 16mm scale drawings. Bernard Rockett Theodore Press. I bought th...

Simon at Lineside Hut explained that the problem with the Windows was because of material tolerances. The windows were at the top limit and the ply at the lower limit. His prompt reply and solution is good. The planking issue is a manufacturing problem. Either the laser was set too high or the ply c...

My first Topic on the forum! I thought I would share my experiences about building The Lineside Hut kit for the W&LLR Brake van. Here's the prototype at Cryfronydd 02.09.2017: IMGP2702 - Copy.jpg The kit arrived in a parcel well protected in bubble-wrap. In addition to the body kit, I purchased ...

Thanks, a tad pricey, but they would save a fair amount of time.

Tom,

The iron work on the sole bar in front of the W irons, I.e the 2 vertical straps and the inverted ‘horseshoe’; where did you source those from?

Egor, I have only just found your thread about your ‘Small balcony garden railway”. It’s very impressive what you have achieved in such a small space. I love the little cameos such as the card players. I shall be watching progress from now on.

I have a variety of protocols: No 1 - ARTHUR; after my late father (Roundhouse ‘Bertie’), No 2 - ERIC; after a late friend who introduced me to the world of 16mm garden railways (L C Models ‘Danny’), No 3 - EILEEN MARY; after my late mother (Roundhouse ‘Silver Lady’), No 4 - JASPER; after our previo...
