Garden Railway Forum

There is more room to be grabbed there.. I can see a run to a terminus next year! Your picture looks like you are in some kind of building at the bottom of the garden, you should be building out to meet it.

I do like the 3d printing, very nice. And can appreciate the land grab, having recently done something similar.

Very well done, great report and certainly worth waiting for. And now I've got more of an idea of your levels..

Loved that, many thanks.. Feel free to do more like it.

You Impressed with a camera shot that had 3 moving locos in, very clever.

Good pictures, thanks.. It's going to take that bolster wagon a while to load up all the wood in the background!!

The Leanne is very nice, or in my case 'Katherine'..
Mine runs on a small Li-Po battery as they designed the back to have space underneath to hold it. Runs quite nicely but my Hunslet certainly has more power.

Horse box?

That's really, really nice!

I run mine on 9v rechargeable batteries. 800mha ones I grabbed off amazon. I have to say, got the chassis running freely and the battery lasts forever.

The cracks in front of him are not a good start....

Really nice Andrew.. Love the loco..

Could you take some wide shots of the line and share? Sounds quite interesting layout you have there.

Thanks Rik, and no they are not obvious.

I've work to do and loads to find

Not really looking to do electrics in the garden.. It's not that far away

Starting to feel I should break this out of a project and start a railway thread.. But, anyway.. Couple of other projects on the workbench. I bought some modeltown people, really fast service, I wasn't expecting them to turn my order round quite that quickly. I painted up the first 3 people. I neede...

Dragging up an old thread, but that's the joy of forums :) Has anyone used the Tenmille system to connect a level to a Peco point? I'm considering adding a point that would be more out of reach than would be ideal, so wondering about a level, rodding, and crank to control it. Outside, almost straigh...

Yes, keep them coming.. So when you shunt the sawn wood loads, are they removable? That goes for most of the rest of the loads, do they come out, or do they not return during a standard operation session :) The tippers going from full to empty is inspired! They are the kind of small truck that I'd k...

He's been in that box a while now, I'd be surprised if he hadn't been washed away with the weather we have had in the last few days.

Over the weekend we had a go at building our first proper platform! I cut some strips that sat just at rail height to be the shuttering around the edges. I then used some grip fix to tack it into place, trying it out I found it stuck pretty fast, but would break off again fairly easily. I made up th...

We had a run last night, much better. I had some trucks at the back of one siding, while my daughter was able to put her train together in front of them. I do think a kick back siding is coming. The slate wagons or tippers run into that front siding and pushed back into a loading area would work nic...

Having got all the track down I'd been able to 'play trains' with the kids. Something just wasn't working for me though. The two sidings hadn't come out in the final plan like I thought they would, they were too short. My idea was to be able to stable and store stock before sending it off down the l...
