Garden Railway Forum

I don’t have much in the way of double heading action in my saved photos and the weather isn’t really conducive to getting the trains out for a play just now. However I will enter this still from a video I made a couple of summers ago.

“At the double”

Forgot to mention it is a Pendle Valley kit!

I’ve completed painting and very pleased with how it looks.

The island platform at Bishop’s Hutton has looked a bit empty since I installed it. 8F3004E8-3CCD-4493-BF73-3CB44741247E.jpeg Some sort of platform shelter was called for, and I was thinking about scratchbuilding one. However whilst at the Llanfair show I noticed a kit that looked ideal. Here it is ...

Well deserving of the winning entry!

"Cuttle Brook Halt" - train approaching at last! P1010006-800-2.jpg.

My word, that moss deserves an award category in its own right. Incredible!

Maybe we should have an annual forum awards - Definite contender for “Best Moss” this year

Loving the moss there Phil, very atmospheric photo.

My entry this time is entitled “Roll out the Barrel”
A busy scene at Wallace Bridge Halt as supplies arrive for the beer festival at the Fat Cat next door…

Just seen your YouTube channel and it is very impressive Peter. :salute: Can you please tell me how you went about laying your track. I am just about to start planning our new line and it's the first time I am doing it at ground level. :thumbright: Hi Rod, Well I have to say my approach is not enti...

Great looking layout, nice to see a wildlife friendly garden, my wife wants to know do you have frogs in the pond ? By the way good looking loco in the video. There is an odd frog or two that turn up from time to time. Usually jumping out of the undergrowth near the pond on the rare occasion I deci...

It’s an Accucraft Cranmore Peckett.3230A029-9763-43BB-88CC-3E9B271F87FB.jpeg That is a lovely looking little loco. Any chance of some video? Hi Phil, I did put a clip on Twitter a while back but I plan to get some better footage sorted soon and put it on YouTube: https://twitter.com/bwlrpeter/statu...

What a great photo, your railway is looking good! Like the telegraph poles, keep thinking I ought to install a few!

It has been a while since I updated this thread. I’ve had some family issues recently which have taken up a lot of my spare time. My dad had a major stroke in early May and hasn't made much of a recovery, and then soon after my mum fell out of bed and managed to severely aggravate the mobility issue...

Great to see you are back in action Rod and making progress on your new line. It looks a nice space but as someone with a ground level line I know all about the extra maintenance issues it can mean plus the wear and tear on the knees and back bending down all the time! :D would agree with the other ...

Heavy duty civil engineering going on there!

What lovely photos, very atmospheric and I think the rust on the tippers looks convincing

My railway is 45mm gauge (Peco) and it merges into the garden quite effectively, you can look out at the garden from the house and barely see any evidence that a railway is there apart from a couple of bridges, just a few tantalising glimpses of the track 🙂. Of course that is down to it being a grou...

Looking amazing Andrew! What a very atmospheric Railway you have, I like it!

That’s an eggscellent photo.

I couldn't choose between these, so I have posted two.. :imsorry Well 2 pics are allowed! :D Both good ones, although I'd say the 2nd photo perhaps suits the theme better, as in the first the train is rather overshadowed (literally!) by that superb bridge. If a "my favourite bridge" theme...
