Garden Railway Forum

Hello,

I wish all of you a merry christmas. Today I uploaded my last video for these year on Youtube. It contains an overview of my model railway activities during the year, and also a short preview of my planned projects for next year.

Today I was able to run my locomotives after six long years.

It is planned, but on my battery loco after 6 years of out of use, it didn't run, and on my Ragleth I have to do some maintenance after six years in storage. I also encountered some problems with my PDF Models Quarry Hunslet. So today I will try to maintain my battery loco and the Ragleth.

Hello Philipy, thank you for your PM regarding embedding pictures from Flickr. I know it's nearly a year since my last post here. In the meantime I built the foundation for my trackbed and dug out the pond. Then nothing happend, I was thinking about the small bridge that is needed to cross the pond....

Hello Jimmy,

thank you for your reply. I will remove the grass when I dug out the pond, and it is also planned to use a weed membrane.

Hello, it's been quite a while since I showed some progress from my garden railway layout. In 2017 I moved houses, and had no garden for a garden railway. I planned to built one in the garden of my parents but then a divorce stopped these considerations for some time. Because of the divorce I had to...

Hello, it's been quite a while since my last post here. In the meantime I have moved two times, and got divorced. But now I've settled in my new home (house). And I'm planning on a new garden railway. More about in the near future. But today I made a christmas update about my model railway projects....

Hello Andrew,

your ballast work looks very good.
May I ask what SBR is?

Markus

Could someone tell me the diameter of the Zecar axles?

Markus

Hello Keith,

thank you for the second video. It shows the difference clearly.

Markus

Hello Keith,

the acceleration and deceleration in the video is superb, but could
you make a short film, showing the difference when the same loco is running without the momentum van?

Markus

Hello Joe,

maybe you could use a homemade turntable instead of a headshunt and turnout.

Markus

Hello Tom,

what dimension did the wood strips have?
And could you maybe made a drawing and a
material list for these wagon?

yours

Markus

Thank you for your answer.
May I ask you the size of your layoutroom?

Markus

Hello,

I viewed your two films on Youtube. But the film of the lower level is actual the film of the upper level.

Markus

Hello Rik,

could you give as a link from where you bought the protection board?

Markus

Hello Steven,
