Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
I've seen the stack(s) of boxes but couldn't begin to hazard a guess at how many there are!

Re: Loco wheels (and other issues) 7/8th scale
Oh, sorry Philip, my mistake. How did you mount it and how did it work out in your model, successful I hope? Dave Dave, read through the link to my build thread in my earlier post and it will show you how I mounted it. Because of the cross-shaft output there are no fixing holes in the end, so I tra...

Re: Another Faller Railbus
I have seen a Faller railbus which has been widened, and had extra height added too, I think, to make it more in keeping with other 16mm scale stock - that seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to! I started to do that with one of mine but gave up in the end, it just didn't seem worth the effort...

Re: Loco wheels (and other issues) 7/8th scale
Sorry Dave, I'm not quite with you? I got one a couple of months ago and installed it in the Gmeinder loco, as per the thread I linked to. I don't have any more on order.Dave Cooper wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:31 pm
Would you mind telling all when yours arrives philipy? I would be interested to hear how it worked out for you.

Re: Loco wheels (and other issues) 7/8th scale
Yes, I have used a couple of N20 gear motors, most recently on a German "Gmeinder & Co" diesel: https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14734&hilit=gmeinder They are fine for light duty loco's but not sure if I would trust them with a heavy hauler, and I have no experience of...

Hunslet " Britomart"
In the attached picture of Britomart On the rear cab sheet there is a curved line of rivets just under the roof line. Then below that, there appears to be another line of about half a dozen rivets. However, if you look inside the cab at the inside of the cab front, there is a row of holes which appe...

Re: Sam small layout
If you really want things permanently fixed, try Gorilla Glue ( the original foaming one ). I used it to glue a loose stone platform edge to the concrete platform. It's still in place after about 5 years.

Re: Animated Gif
No, you have missed my point Rod. Your original post suggested that people could post NON-garden related items to your thread ("... if you have any thing that relates to garden railways, but it doesn't need to..."). Those are the ones that should be on Off Topic.

Re: Animated Gif
Nice gif Rod. Well done for mastering the technique. It would be great if you have any thing that relates to garden railways, but it doesn't need to, although we don't want to overloaded with just those that are not related please. I don't want to sound pedantic, but I should just point out that if ...

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Inevitably, at this time of year the garden requires a massive tidy up and there are always umpteen rolling stock repairs to catch up with. But it’s raining again, so I’ll have another cup of tea, continue with my book and worry about the other stuff some other time. That about sums it up, for most...

Well here it is. https://youtu.be/ZQ2kqpcGWYQ In the end I painted it in standard early 1940's "Panzer grey", which is currently RAL 7021 and as far as I can tell was also used for Luftwaffe ground vehicles. I decided against the red embellishments since I'm not sure if they are correct ( ...
