Garden Railway Forum

Track is now laid in shed and is looking good thanks to help from Peter.
Unfortunately no photos again. Take photos on my iPhone 4s pics get sent to iPad but still says file too large and now won’t load to Mac where I could resize. Never mind I will persevere until it’s working.

A real pleasure to be able to help you both, we would love to see pictures of the progress so here's hoping your 'phone problem can be sorted.

I hope this works

Thank you Tom Tom for your help with snapseed. I had to reduce to lowest size. Really happy now

Glad it's worked. The app like many others has to be set to reduce the size of the original images.

Hi Julie, Love your line, It’s looks brilliant.

Have you tried sending your photo’s to your Mac by Airdrop. It’s an app that should be built into you phone.

Thank you Peter and Diane for a lovely afternoon and running my locos on your line

Thank you Rod, for your help with photo issue, I have had to get a new phone so I think all is well now. I haven't done anything more to the line yet but hopefully will soon

Any time Julie…Love your Locos by the way….the Railbus is brilliant, but they all look great…

Julie,

Great to follow the progress of your line. I wish when I bought my house I'd known I was going to want a railway in my garden. I'd have made sure my garden was bigger. Now I'm limited to a small plot. At the time I wanted something easy to maintain.

If I put a shed in my garden the size of your's it would take up half! Nevertheless I'll figure something out while saving up and acquiring everything I'll need.

For the time being I'm limited to running my trains as a guest on local lines belonging to modellers of the 16mm association.

Enjoy your railway. I'm sure it will provide you with much enjoyment.

Hi All, I had not done anything much with my railway planning until now. A visit from Peter and all things are go. Here are some pics of the last 2 days. Thank you Peter for your help and inspiration. Have to wait until next week now for next delivery of materials. I am so happy

Looks like things are progressing nicely, Julie - even though the sub-contracted supervisory workforce does seem to be taking it a bit too easy ......

Nice bit of workmanship in the hot conditions. Some of the pictures really show the slope you are working on. It's looking good.

A very pleasant couple of days working together to get things moving forward after a short break. The temperature reached 33 degrees on Wednesday so a number of rest periods with cool drinks were needed. We 'seniors' don't need to rush!

Looking good.

Hoping now that it keeps dry for another week so that it can be all up and running. Then it will be deciding how to arrange the centre, have a few ideas in mind tho. I can't believe how quickly it is coming together now.

Great progress there Julie. You are facing the challenges of a steeply sloping site head on. You may have a brief pause in construction, as the weather forecast is talking of heavy rain and possible thunderstorms heading for Wales and SW England.

At last we have had some rain here, just enough to wet the baked ground but welcome nonetheless. I think we were on the edge of a thunderstorm as a momentary power-cut occurred early afternoon.
I know it will not put Julie off her work programme as she is now determined to press on with her railway.

Just managed to paint the woodwork with preserver before the rain came, lucky it had dried first and the rain wasn't heavy.

What a beautiful location!

The bones are coming together very nicely. It's not often you see modellers using a chainsaw in the furtherance of their projects!
