An international forum for garden railway modellers in all scales and gauges. It is free to join and is funded through voluntary contributions by its members. Many thanks to all those who keep it going. https://gardenrails.org/forum/
As I'm a newbie, I thought some may be interested in some of my 'old' videos.
So as my first offering, here's my "Introduction to the Sandstone & Termite Garden Railway"
It shows how my railway fits into the yard, what I have to do to get it ready to run trains and then follows a train around the whole circuit.
It's 13 minutes long, so maybe a cuppa before you start.
( Next week we might do "how I built the SaTR" )

Thanks for sharing Greg.
I have moved this to 'Railways & Layouts' as the introduction section is for new members to introduce themselves.
Looking forward to more installments.
Tom

Sorry Tom. I meant to put it in "Videos". Did I put it in "Introduction" ?

It was in 'Introductions' but moved it here as you will be describing your railway with videos and text.
No worries mate!

Really interesting intro, Greg. Although I am familiar with your railway, this overview makes it a lot clearer.
I like the way you have end to end, a large circular route (or had), out and back, and a dumbbell. Plenty of operating potential and also the opportunities to run purposeful services from A to B - plus, of course, lineside industries to explain the traffic on the railway.

PS - Nice to hear the cockatiels (or parakeets?) in the background on your commentary.
