Garden Railway Forum

Very nice job on the rebuild and weathering! Would love to see it working, or would that be playing?

Great photos, looks like you may have a Rabbit causing some trouble.

It does look quite real, very nice.

Great photos! Hope you don't mind, I saved a copy of the first one, want to use it for my desktop background.

Number 24 does look a little odd with its headlight pointed to the sky. But it's a good looking engine.

The idea was to try and make it look like a flame was burning inside. Power to run it is picked up from the rails. ./...

Looks good Allen, little by little and one day it will be done........ What am I saying! Garden railways are a never ending project, right? But that's a good thing.

We have a g-gauge (1:20.3 to 1:29) DCC outdoor layout. Stainless steel rail is what we use. Our biggest cleaning is with the locomotive wheels. Plants growing in ways that the locomotive drives over rather than just pushing out of the way and bugs on the rail when a locomotive comes by get smashed a...

Very nice, please keep us updated.

With darkness arriving so much earlier, I thought I'd try another night shot. This photo was taken with a 25 second exposure at f8. The line of light is from the headlight of a Bachmann 3-truck shay headed down the mountain.

Lovely little turntable. Looks like the perfect size. Wonderful photo.

You didn't spoil mine, it's beautiful. In fact, you have given me some ideas. Thank you

Funny, I like the way you think.

Very nice. Great pulling power

This video is the engineers view of the above station pass. Sorry for the down grade in quality, the original upload was nice, but YouTube really down graded the details. <object width="640" height="480"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/ToDCmGIHfD0?ve...

Well, I'm on the other side of the pond, but when we have children/teenagers other than our family over, it seems to be the newer diesel engines they are interested in. That makes me worried for steam. And steam is how it all began. I haven't run my diesel engines in years. Thinking of selling them....

C&S#59 has to slow as it passes the station. A short 1 minute clip. (turn your volume up) <object width="640" height="480"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/Y8IbmSSbFkk?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScree...

Fantastic work! I hope some day to achieve half that level of work. But that will even take some doing.

Very nice photos! It said you posted Jul 18th, I don't know how I missed them. Very nice. Would you have more?

We have had our share of mosquitoes this year too. That can make photo taking a challenge sometimes.
