Re: Small balcony garden railway
An excellent little railway. You have really made good use of the space. I notice there is space for extending the line along one of the walls if you get planning permission from the other half of your household .....

Thank you Rik!
Yes, I sometimes think that it would be possible to extend the way after the unloading ramp. But probably here it is necessary to make a removable part, so as not to complicate the use of a folding table.

Hi Egor,
You could add a photo background for some added realisme. You have white walls around your layout which undo the amount of detail and love you put into your layout a bit. You could make a backdrop on thin wooden panels, or print a photo on aluminium, like on county gate railway, and it will immediately give your railway a lot more realism. If you make those panels removable, you won't have problems with your wife about it..

Thanks for the advice! I hope that this idea will be realized someday.
I would like to add facades of some buildings, I think this will greatly improve the appearance of the railway.

A new dramatic scene on my layout: the worker tries to remove the log that fell during loading.

Great looking scene - I like pictures that tell a story.

I always wanted to have signals on my layout. But the chosen theme - early American logging, did not leave a large choice of signals. The only suitable signal is a red highball. I thought about it creation for a long time. The October 2017 issue Garden Railways magazine gave impetus to construction from available materials. Let this signal not quite scale, but I like it. Now there is a signal regulating the locomotive's departure from the turntable.
Signal closed:
Let's go!

Re: Small balcony garden railway
To make my little railway more "garden" I added a couple of potted plants to the base. For this, I was drill a couple of holes for the pots in the wooden base.
In the pots grow the Ficus benjamina with the Soleirolia and the Fuchsia with the Soleirolia too.

Re: Small balcony garden railway
What a fantastic and inspiring railway! Full of character, and the detail's looking great.
The planting works really well, and will look even better as it spreads - I hope it grows well on your balcony!
All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Small balcony garden railway
That does look effective, the simplest ideas are the best.

Re: Small balcony garden railway
Thank you guys!
I also want to show the results of the work that I did in early spring. Two Piko's log cabins turned into one logging camp house. I added an interior - the stove and the card players Interior at night can be illuminated.
Yes, the Soleirolia grows perfectly on the balcony in the summer. But I'm a little afraid that the pots are too tight to fully cover the wooden base.
Yes! In all suburban trains, now announce stops in English. We are waiting for the fans
