Garden Railway Forum

Probably visual but with a camera-mount option - we were at a gig and a guy showed us some impressive photo's on his tablet that he'd taken via his laptop and some kind of dedicated "web cam". (We were talking about the then forthcoming Ison back in November;) ) Some are cheap for a good r...

Marvelous and many thanks
What size telescope are you using? (and what size 'scope would you recommend for a "total beginner"? ~ lots of conflicting advice out there )

Did you take that?

If you did, well done and thanks for sharing
When my wife see's it she's going to want to know about your set-up

According to Wiki;

The development of the forklift and the needs of World War II logistics operations led to substantial use of pallets.

I suppose the date of the ISO standards would point to when standardisation increased their use.

I'd tend to say it's not cheating, and the only reason it's not allowed in the GRF Photocomp is to keep a level playing field for those who haven't yet developed the skill. There was a HUGE row (well, lively debate ;) ) in the mainstream Steam Railway magazines some time ago about this, and in the e...

Can everyone calm down, and THINK before you type! This thread is supposed to be a catalyst for moving the forum upwards and out off it's current state (as recognised by several members). Please at least try your level best to contribute in a constructive manner, - but please do try to contribute! T...

I used your quote amongst others to illustrate why I think the forum has gone downhill and why it no longer has the same appeal to me. So, the forum, in the opinion of 'Narrow Minded' has gone downhill and no longer has the same appeal to him.  As I joined Feb 2013 I assume the rot set in before I ...

Bloody Lovely job Matt - she's a beaut!

My own experience is that usually a small number of members tend to reply to my posts, War and Peace" :lol: Perhaps an unfortunate reference to conflict, but yes quite unusual for a topic to run to TWO PAGES so quickly these days - there's certainly no requirement for a Peace Process ;) One of...

A free download editor, "Photoscape". Highly recommended (even for computer dunces like me! )

I blame facebook. What for though Dan? Providing another alternative to the forum, or a change in peoples online behaviour (as in treating the forum boards the same way they treat facebook pages)? Please don't anyone get me wrong, I'm not on some kind of personal crusade with this - I effectively l...

Plenty here;

Click on the "Technical" link when you're on the page.

I'm tempted to reply here. If you read this when you get back from your shed, I'm not sure why you went to the trouble of basically repeating what you'd already said but thanks for deciding that the topic was of interest to you. I'm afraid you're wrong in your assumption that people "expect re...

I know that I for one will be pushing forward with this, as I want to see the forum succeed and wherever I can I want to help. I understand how you feel with seeing how it's going but I would suggest sticking with it. Even if you only check in every so often, or let us know how your railway is goin...

"and continue trying" being the operative phrase, I doubt it'll improve on its own. The question is, who's willing to put in the effort? Surely it should be every single member of the forum, but obviously it won't because for some, "it is what it is" and they're quite satisfied w...

Very true Matt - the Search facility in the top-right corner of the page isn't great, but it works! Also, it doesn't take long to look through the titles of the thread pages. I also find it quite pernicious when for example someone asks for a "realistic" photo for "inspiration", ...

and squeaky boilers.

Thanks for your reply Tom - at least you've proved someone is reading this. You're absolutely right in everything you've said, and I hope that any other forum members who are currently "biting their lips" air their views here. I know that our Administrator, Mr Bond, has expressed concerns ...
