It seems the more you like and read certain groups i.e. Garden Railways Gr...

Re: A Cardboard Engine
Looks a cheap way of adding to the stock.
Re: Otto bash
Great build Rik, can i ask a really stupid question, you say you have used cardboard for the running plates and other stuff, is this just templates for cutting out for the brass, i have never done anything like this before and i am wanting to have a go at a bit of scratch/ kit bashing myself. do you...

Re: A Light Railway for the Western Dales
Just been reading your thread and wow, what a brilliant layout. I know Morecambe and surrounding area’s fairly well, Nether Kellett and all, and the landscape is truly breathtaking, i particularly love the winter months around there and just a stones throw from the Lakes has well, you really do have...

Re: Recent Stuff on the FBGR
Thanks John (FBGR) for your reply and information, i went to a open day local to me Sunday and spoke with a member of the 16mm Association and he says he uses patio decking for his railway, so it’s some thing i will look into. Why isn’t Creosote sold anymore. I certainly hope your FBGR is still arou...

Re: MY BCATRR
Not much happening at the moment although i have come across this stuff, it only goes up to 45cm, just under 1’ 6” which for me would be to low, i guess i could buy some longer post’s so it would be at a better height of say 3’. There is also an option to buy some wider tops that will do a 3 metre l...

Re: MY BCATRR
Thank you tom_tom_go i will keep the acrylics, i do use them on my N Gauge stuff. Can you recommend a decent rail bender. Congratulations on fixing the pick-up, it looks to be a very nice model. Your garden shows great potential for a railway. Your options about track height above the ground are int...
