Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Happy New Year Phil, Great to see your line with some great friends. :thumbright: very nice smooth slow running of your rake of coaches and that little milk van looks perfect with them also. Hopefully we can get out and do some more on our line soon, really far to wet and the grass is a bit long als...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Yes it is Peter, I usually ask our little local heritage railway who are brilliant by the way, if I can have lump sometimes. Last time I did a got 3 biggish lumps and I still have loads of it left. Best bit for me though was smashing it down to bits,
Great fun

Re: Garden Railway Gallery, Winners Thread
I agree with all comments. A well deserved winner, that's a photo that could go on a calendar and be proud of it to be seen by hundreds of people.
I would buy the calendar if it was on it.

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway
Thats a really nice attempt Drew. Well done, although I have used modelling knives for mine in the past, they usually end up not that straight and not square, even if I use a steel ruler. Thats why I use my little saw now, though the stock on the saw can get off square a little bit if I'am not that ...

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE
a train for the 3 year old, brilliant way of getting them into it. I wish I had started a lot earlier than I did, early sixties for me, what time I wasted pursuing other so called hobbies, although I did enjoy some of them, beer and wine making ect ect....

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE
I will be building some more of those Little Vans Drew, but will mix them up a little I think, some with sliding doors and some without, but it will look like they can be opened. Also some more 2, 3 and 4 plank wagons. I really enjoy scratch building in wood and in my eyes they do look more realisti...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Greg and the rest of the guys are so correct. The 'Master' has done it again and turned out a superb model of a Garret. The weathering is perfect and shows what can be achieved with what is some excellent scratch building. One question :?: Peter. Did you take a photo of how you did the wiring, it wo...

That is a tiny van, Rod. Nicely finished. Rik I want one! :love10: I kind of have a thing for stubby little items of rolling stock... IP engineering do loads of them, so does a guy on eBay, Phil Sharples, HGW are another. https://www.hglw.co.uk/ There are loads if you put a search in, also visit An...

Re: Biting the bullet - wholesale conversion from 45mm to SM32
Sell your 45mm gauge stuff to finance getting more 32mm from the UK, especially the track. You could get some Cliff Barker track. It's all made to order and fairly cheap and it looks brilliant. https://www.cliffbarker.me.uk You would then have what you like more and enjoy it more Keith. Keep on enjo...

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE
Hi all, Back to building again, although not too full strength yet, but I am getting there. This is a little kit that Peter Butler sent me to help me to start building again. It's a small van, no idea where it came from, but it's taken me some time to build mainly because it comes with plastic wheel...

Re: Video editing tutorial
I'am afraid that's what all the mobile phones companies do, it's par for the course unfortunately. It's mainly because the tech gets better and better and the updates can't keep up with them, that's why they have updates I think for that reason and so they then decide that they won't give out update...

Rod, there was a discussion about the motor block here: https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=14285 I think that might have been the video and discussion that finally got me to join the forum! Yes I have seen that Drew before, thank you for reminding me. I will take a browse at it ...

Thanks Rik. I will have a look at it, maybe I could utilise a different motor. No harm in printing it off with 32mm in mind. I just need to reduce the end buffers don't I..

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Brilliant video Rik again. Have you a file on that chassis you made with the big motor and more details on it, or is there a separate thread. Lost touch has you know mate, but I am slowly getting back to normal now, still having to pace myself though. 1,000,000 Blog viewers Rik, that's awesome. I ha...
