Garden Railway Forum

Locobox referred to in an earlier comment have a reputation for being unresponsive or slow in completing orders. Simon Whenmouth of Anything Narrow Gauge also sells boxes for loco storage if that's a route you choose to go down. https://anythingnarrowgauge.co.uk/colle ... ies?page=3

Hee hee. The tension builds - looking forward to the next episode.

Hi Andrew… that lighter gas you mentioned from newsagents.. does that have some sort of inbuilt adapter then? Just posted here https://www.gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=14366 The bottles I bought don’t have any thread so I can’t attach the adapter sadly. I've answered your query on...

Greg, you've excelled! Two fantastic videos. Thanks again for sharing.

That is terrific! What a spectacle! Thanks for sharing.

Always enjoy seeing the busy Feckhallbahn. Keeps me motivated - but it's too bloomin' hot to be out working in the garden at the moment.

Hi, Sorry you've had to wait so long for a reply. There certainly used to be an adapter to fit the threadless 'camping gaz' type canisters (A4, I think, is the classification), because I have one - it just slips over the nozzle on the canister and activates the release mechanism as you press down. U...

Difficult to see the change you've made to the frogs on the video, but it's obviously helped. Well done.

The notes in the accompanying text are 'interesting' to say the least! Chinglish at its finest🤦‍♂️ Note: – When you use a motor, can not have bound items, such as adhesives do not flow into the rotary shaft through bearings, and obstruction of the operation of the motor. – The rod of rotation of the...

I did look (and listen!) out for you Jake with the intention of saying Hello, but I clearly missed you. As you say it was a hive of activity. You have managed to capture a photo of one of the guys I was there with though!

That's incredibly effective. Well worth the effort involved.

Rik's solution is ingenious, but I wonder if the same result could be achieved now via 3D printing? It would save a lot of fiddly labour. Various outlets will 3D print, and I'm sure one of the talented 3Ders in this forum could knock up the required .stl file for you? Just a thought.

All looking good Aaron. That's quite an array of storage boxes you have there.

Delightful. If you're lucky he won't leave the railway museum!

That looks used and careworn - brilliant modelling. (I'm assuming that's the look you were going for ). You, and I think everyone on this forum, are far more prolific than me!

I think the reinforcing bars on the skip body are there to act as the contact point on frame/wheels on the wagons in the top pictures.

Your enthusiasm and work rate are awesome Trevor. You could always dig out a pit at thend to make the operating height more comfortable!

Sorry to hear of your issues Don, and especially the loss of that palatial shed. But - a move to known territory and access to like minded souls can only be a good thing. I'm sure you'll be whetting our appetite with ideas for your new line soon.

A lovely report of a great little railway. I was slightly disappointed that M. DePuty didn't feature in any of the pictures. He needs to make himself known so we can be prepared should we meet him unexpectedly!

My 'Dandy Wagon' is from their range and makes into a very nice model. Horse not supplied but suitable one by Schleich helpfully suggested by supplier. IMG_9111.JPG I thought it looked familiar! I've just ordered one as well as some detail items. I already have a few horses, hopefully one will fit....
