Garden Railway Forum

Hello all, I've done some more drawings, ideas and plans. I can always make lots of plans since I have an almost unlimited supply of paper and ideas https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/381434_503808979667976_407977195_n.jpg The railway is going to be single track for most of the w...

Hi everyone, As I'm sure you've guessed I'm rebuilding my railway once again but hopefully this time it will be permanent and just the way I want it (see as now I have more track and other cool stuff) But my real reason for rebuilding the line is I have a new live steam accucraft loco and larger sto...

I'm waiting for then next one when can we expect episode 5?

Others are a IP Engineering Rapier Loco in green, a home made yellow Loco which is based on measurments from the IP Engineering Dotti and lastly a green Simplex loco I made f...

I have got rid of the massive unnecessary gradient!

Hi, First time posting about my railway so I'm not sure how to start, but here's my railway so far :) http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537746_364262683622607_100001166347424_919935_1183993743_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/534829_364263443622531_100001166347424_91...

Glad to see my little green Simplex made it into the vid too - Cheers again Josh
Which you also broken umm with your head but again after a visit to my portable workshop it was soon running again!

Cheers Josh, works as good as it looks! As for the bit you added - it derailed on (new laid) dodgy track work (but that's another story) and tipped over and did barrel rolls down a slope which caused the chassis to part with the body but after a quick visit to my portable workshop the green clocky w...

Thanks, thanks and more thanks lol :P what a friendly and enthusiastic lot (don't get that on RMweb) That's quite a make over! I like it! Is the original a Hornby? Umm I think its a old chad vally thing. One of the only disadvantages I think is that it only goes in forwards but my railway having a l...

Hello, I bought some old clockwork O gauge junk at the Exeter Garden Railway show for a £5 Anyway it went from this http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/317475_247125392003004_100001166347424_652632_1506667075_n.jpg To this http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/294692_247961848586...

So its made from wood? looks good

Just raid the skip at your local school, it's a gold mine! (uhh for plastic and stuff) it's suprising some times what they do chuck out, I built whole 00 gauge model railway baseboards with stuff from their skip. They use alot of vacumm forming plastic which is the same as plasticard, most of my gar...

Don't worry about it bud lol
I will just buy one

Well I finnished that 'Dotti' loco its green and sort of matches this Simplex I made http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/304242_243783872337156_100001166347424_642185_947392142_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/263277_212183892163821_100001166347424_550152_4438916_n.jpg...

Cheers again
The weathering is nothing special really just some railmatch rust paint dry brushed ontop
It tones down the paint nicely I think

Ah Cheers! And yes I did, I took the sizes from a friends loco and built one from scratch and fitted a IP budget chassis and then built anouther one but with a cab and now I'm part way through building anouther one haha But working in a number of scales it leaves me allot of spare parts from kits an...
