Garden Railway Forum

Very impressive!!
My only comment is that some people have way to much spare time on their hands, wish I did.

Word of caution when using 3D Builder if you use the save button (with disk icon)it saves it with a file extension of .glb The save as a .stl you have to use the drop down menu (3 horizontal bars on left) and choose "Save As" then you can use the .stl extension. I only found this out when ...

I am printing points for use on my inside section of my railway extension. I have 2 models that I am using these https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:976643 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:730499 I wanted to combine the turnout lever with part3 of the points. I originally did this in Tinkercad but wh...

I have 2 printers running right now using Octoprint and I can see similar blips on the temperature lines, the bed temp more so than the nozzle temp. I didn't even notice them till I looked real close after reading this thread. Short answer is no I do not think you have a problem, if you do I have th...

Update; The prints went well overnight (used eSun on one printer to compare filaments) but the new pei bed really holds onto the prints it is struggle to get them off, it is the eSun filament so will try it on the other printer to see if it does the same. I am trying this that I found in my local Ja...

Just acquired a new Ender3V3 SE to replace my Ender3V2 and am wondering if I can just plug the new printer into the old printers raspberry pi or do I have to re program the pi to accept the new printer. Both are made by Creality so should have the same or similar firmware. The answer to my question...

After this fiasco I remedied the problem by selling the Ender3 V2 and buying another Ender3V3 (bit of a win at the local club members draw paid for it). https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14473 Sure enough as soon as I had the new on ready to go, Mr Murphy came and tinkered with the older...

Guilty as charged your honour; I bought my place because it had 2 huge sheds and a big yard for the railway. SWMBO wanted a swimming pool so when we found this place with a pool in the front yard all boxes were ticked. SWMBO went to visit a friend the other day at an "over 50's lifestyle villag...

Enjoyable with the morning cuppa well done keep them coming.

What a find.
Glad that she is going to restore it and not just rip it up and throw it away.

Is that a wasp hitching a ride @11:34?
Additionally I think the boot @9:13 may need a bit of a clean as its looking a bit grotty.

Thanks for the pictures. That looks like a really well detailed kit with a beefy motor block. Can I justify having such a loco on the PLR??? Rik Of course you can Rik I have one and it is a great little loco although getting R/C and batteries is a real challenge, I solved it by making a "match...

G'day all. Following on from various preliminary posts, I felt it's time to get a move on with a few things. I'm not new to modelling but I am new to garden railways, hence the thread title. I've signed up to the 16mm association and done a lot of reading but think it's high time to get my hands di...

11/04/24 Cheers gents, glad you like it. I really do. :) Those of you keen to see weathering will either be intrigued, or disappointed - maybe both. I've decided for this one, to try something new. Something a little different from my growing little fleet. I want this one to look like a recent repa...

I have now made three models of an early version of the Southwold Railway Cleminson coaches. The first one is now a couple of years old. Its roof was made from five 3D printed sections glued together. After fixing the passengers inside, I decided to glue down the roof using prototypical arched batt...

I use fibre cement sheeting, I have found that I have to use the external type as the type for use under eaves does not really stand up that well to being wet. Its OK while in place but handling it wet takes a lot of care. I overcame that by painting it with a cheap exterior weatherproof paint. I fi...

Looks like a generic safety warning to satisfy regulations. A bit of proof reading would not go astray, Maybe I look at the world differently but all that made sense to me. :shock: :shock: Could be the years evaluating technical manuals that did it. But I do agree with keeping away from children. :D...

How long does it take for the snow to melt and where does all the water go? Does it just soak into the ground? Looking forward to seeing the progress you are making. I'm not having much luck with making progress with my re alignment. https://ringbalin-light-railway.blogspot.com/2024/03/3-stage-6-02-...
