Garden Railway Forum

Lots of weathering scope there Aaron. Grant. Oooh, yes indeed! I admire and marvel at the more technical side of things but only have a vague understanding of what's going on. Which possibly makes me one of those awful enthusiasts who'll start the livery debate before a restoration's even finished!...

I like the look of that! The saddle tank and (very!) open cab really suit it!

Cheers,

Andrew.

Hi Edwin! I must have done this on a previous layout, which used Mamod track, but I don't recall exactly how I did it! Looking at pictures, I'd suggest simply avoiding using those particular holes. You've got holes you can use at the other end of the point, and you can screw down the adjoining piece...

Hello! Only just catching up with this thread, very much like the look of your new line! "Linda"'s a beauty and looks very much at home. I'm interested that the Fosworks kit gives better speed control - I've just ordered a new loco and went for the conventional "aircraft" option ...

Lovely locos - "Anna" looks splendid in that livery! Odd that one of your loco's valve gear strikes the bridge hinges but the other doesn't - I thought that "Silver Laddies" were pretty much the same as the "Lady Anne", and that - running gear-wise - "Russell"...

Second this. All really good, but you've somehow captured the essence of Gelert there.

Indeed!

I love the big "Prairie" as well, that's going to be very impressive when it's finished!

A lovely looking loco, congratulations!

I always did like a Quarry Hunslet...

I really enjoyed that, thank you!

All of it was great, but loved the mixed goods. Don't know if you do requests (?!), but maybe we could have the 33 on that too sometime?

From stewed eels? :lol: Yeah! For pie and mash. That’s funny enough I think. When I was a child, the fishmonger in the high street had a big wooden barrow of live eels outside. We were allowed to go and look at them as a treat (??!) when the rest of the shopping was done. Which makes me sound like ...

I believe the black Sl1s were the kit locos, the green ones being factory assembled. As for the boiler, I once knew but can't remember.. :scratch: :banghead: I do know for a fact though, you'll find the answer within this subforum! Yep, I agree that the black ones were the kits. And I think I recal...

Lovely stuff! Looks like you could run some pretty lengthy trains?

I do love a Small Prairie...

All the best,

Andrew.

Spot on! VERY impressive!

Maybe this one will be a little tougher???

Apologies, it's a terrible picture!

Oops, I hadn't spotted that! Congratulations!

Anyone recognise where this is?

Yay! I happened to notice them when I was there last summer!

Anyway, maybe this one's a little bit harder to pin down precisely...

How about Nantmor, on the Welsh Highland?

Which there has been hey Andrew....

In the style of the infamous 1997 headline, "It's The Sun wot won it", "It's the train wot gained it"??!

I have a question I thought I would pose to this forum rather than any other, as I an sure some member here can be of assistance. I am planning on implementing a full signalling system on the SLR, consisting of wire-in-tube "signal rodding" running from several boxes and ground frames to ...

Hi all, Apologies of the prolonged absence - I was on holiday for a while and haven't had a chance for any modelling since - not railway modelling anyway (no, not catwalk modelling either...), but more of that later. In the meantime, I'm pleased to report that the (WH)WHR has been doing its civic du...
