Garden Railway Forum

Thanks FWLR, I have actually attached all the other photos in the thread that way but the website keeps telling me my files are too large any time i try to upload one of the wider more interesting pics so i may have to persist. You were right about the darker smokebox, much better! 43026814_58334050...

Thanks FWLR, Although it looks scary there hasnt been any issues trains do tend to tiptoe their way around though! The V is extremely rough as its just a mockup for a future kit, 15 minutes and some epoxy and it was as good as new again. I was a few meters away but its not the radios fault, i was te...

Well its been a few years but the railway is still going! Since I last posted I've been converting most of the stock to Deltang RC and also started the extension. 42683486_731057580576605_3746118811133149184_n.jpg The railways first engine #14 has been extensively rebuilt with low running boards, a ...

Hi all some photos of my latest project, 3d printed body, buffer beams and doors on a modified bachmann little big haulers chassies. Basically i just cut anything remotely steam engine like off with a dremel and epoxied my new pieces on. Loco is radio controlled with deltang equipment with 8 cells j...

I was wondering who snapped that up!

Always nice to see people modelling Australian stuff, great photos!

Cheers Grant!

Another update, prototype aluminium bar point has failed miserably so back to the drawing board. Once i get some cash back post christmas ill invest in some brass rail and try again. Last night I borrow my brothers camera and attempted some artsy shots... http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd371/JG...

Its a 5th gen bachmann 4-6-0 thats had its cab painted with a window panelled out and a modified running board, the reason its running so smooth is it has the RC out of a toy car running it (no dead spots) and with 7.2 volts its top speed is just about right for some sedate running

Its a gorgeous little loco, although made from spare bits he had its well detailed and the hand lining and operating side panels have a lot of charm. with an LGB Stainz mech under it and RC it also runs incredibly.
Come on grant, a cast off Baldwin tram motor would fit right in with your stock

This video really shows how tiny my railway actually is! Hopefully this is what you wanted Tom

Yeah no worries mate, Ill take some tomorrow when I get home

Some more random shots of the railway, #14 is a fairly standard bachman big hauler that I've converted to RC using bits out of an RC car. I started to convert it to be a bit more Australian but I've ultimately decided to start converting it to be a bit more like the Western Australian Government Rai...

Looks fantastic! always nice to see some Australian themed stock...

thanks mate! the camellia is a terrible choice and if it didnt look so pretty when it flowers would be swiftly removed! Im trying to come up with a smart idea for some kind of shadecloth but ive come up short so far

Had a visit from a member of another forum today. Heres some photos of our little running session. I havent really posted before on this forum so if you want to catch up on the background of my railway look at http://thosethingsthatgochoo.blogspot.com.au/ or https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/nor...

Thanks for that Brian ill shoot him and email now

Can anyone give me Williams Email address too? ive tried emailing him through another site about the details of the sierra leone 4-8-0's but no one has replied yet...

Hi Grant do you ever hold open days? I'd love to come see your railway one day!

Jake

Fantastic to see more of your railway Grant! I've been looking for more about your railway since I saw the photos of it on the gardenrailway club website. Keep up the great work!
