Garden Railway Forum

I love it.

I've been looking forward to seeing one of these done up. Great work.

Hello, apologies I have been away for a while, a lot has happened. Due to a house move the garden railway was put on hold and other projects had crept, namely a couple of 009 locos and some aeroplanes and now the new year is in full swing I'm aiming to set up a new line in the new house. Something t...

They used to be, I have built both MDF and Plywood van kits. I must say I prefer the plywood over MDF as the surface seemed to slick to apply aerosol paints to any decent fashion and even after a good coat of MDF sealer they could still end up look a little fuzzy. On an interesting note their earlie...

Here we go again - not dead but sleepeth. After a sudden death of one of the main shareholders. The railway sudden found itself struggling to finance itself, with less and less trains to transport it's main traffic plus the advent of road transport the line gasped its last. https://live.staticflickr...

Every time I come on here you're doing something amazing

Oh cheers for the heads up. I was thinking of going down the corrugated hut roof, however the lamp hut at Grosmont is a wooden one and it would be nice to keep the feel of it - with that in mind an old wagon body wouldn't go amiss. I do have an IP Engineering RNAD van but I'm thinking of turning tha...

Thank you everyone. Still a bit of work to do but it's looking more like a station now. There's still an empty space which is looking a little odd I'm thinking of adding a stores or lamp hut there and toying with the idea of either a grounded van body or a corrugated hut. Does anyone know where I co...

I can approve of the thumbs up lol. a £75 bill from Virgin possibly as a result of live streaming the Ffestiniog Railway whilst bored at work. Eek, is that A Thing??! The FfR webcam has got me through many a dull Zoom meeting... Loving your work, especially all the detail. Like all the best lines, y...

My favourite thing at the moment is seeing everyone's favourites. Such good modelling.

This was taken late last year. Most things about this picture could be better in one way or another but it is my favourite picture.

I think there was an article of it in Heritage Railway...oh some 20 years ago now. There was a photo of kids no older than myself then driving this little clapped out Ruston Hornsby diesel. An interesting little line that made me want to do it myself, but my friends were never into trains and there ...
