Garden Railway Forum

Of course, he doesn't mention that I spotted that first :p

but in all seriousness, how sad

Well, if there was enough space left over after the complex 16mm network Of The Gods, I wouldn't mind a racing circuit of G3/2.5" to interchange with the LJRA. Then how about a scale mile or three of 45mm in 15mm:1' scale with a Pennsylvania setting and nice new accucraft EBT Baldwins lettered...

If we had more space, I'm sure we'd do a 5" or 7".

After much scribbling, inspired by the full name of the County Donegal and the fact that my first railway was built in my Grandparents' garden I came up with LRJA, the Lindsey Railways Joint Administration. It's a bit of a mouthful, and looks a bit crowded  squeezed onto a loco numberplate, but it ...

Yes, but if we do the coffee table thing, it can be on both our lists....

Guessing now I might be able to convince TommyDodd to drive to IKEA again?

Apparently I made an error. We used quick-set cement, not concrete

Hi Everyone, I made my first attempt at the jigstone molds yesterday in preparation for making a bus shelter. We used two scoops (a scoop saved from an old container of Vanish) of sand and two scoops of quick-set concrete, with enough water to make it a smooth mixture. My jigstones came out crumbly,...

That's adorable! Do you have Power Wheels in the UK? When I was a kid, all the girls wanted the pink Barbie Jeep Power Wheels, but yours is so much better!

Erm, what does scribe mean? Like score I think for your native tongue.. ;) :P Yeah, yeah. Make fun of my poor improper English education. I'm learning! I've started putting the u back in words that American English took it out of, and I spell "grey" the proper way! :P But yes, I do unders...

My friend sent this to me because it made her think of me and TommyDodd. For those of you who haven't been to EPCOT, in their Germany section, they have a garden railway set up next to the meet the character spot to entertain the children waiting for Snow White (and Dopey!) They've apparently mounte...

I suggested that to TommyDodd, but I think he thinks it's too much work or defeats the purpose of using the jigstones...

but GMTA!

After visiting a few of the random Abbey ruins in our area (literally. driving down a road and "hey, what's that big stone wall up ahead?"), I decided I'd like to have some ruins of our own. But how to go about it? We have brick jig-stones, but not the stone ones and it'd be silly to inves...

Mine fell apart in the first big gust of wind. I'm hoping to glue it together if I can find all the parts!

------------------------EDITED ADDENDUM-------------------------------- Well, over the summer I had talked about firing up the shiny new lathe and having a go this winter at a published design. Somehow that daydream has been translated into not one but FOUR Brazil class 0-4-2Ts to the Keith Bucklit...
