Garden Railway Forum

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!

So agree Peter….


Julie, the more I see of your brilliant location and that view….the more I love it….

Getting help from “The Legend” Peter Butler is one of the goals in my life, sad isn’t it

Seriously, that is going to be some line and one that everyone will be impressed with and with Peter’s help, it will be one to admire and be proud of…

Shed has now had 1coat of preserver, but not sure now if I prefer the natural look. Too late now tho It will be a bit of colour in the winter tho.

What a busy day on Friday, luckily enough not for me tho, Peter and another friend kindly came over to help again. Thanks both.

Some more pics.

That is looking good and apart from the battery drills it looks a very peaceful spot to live.

I am so lucky to be living in this beautiful spot, in this weather it is great. Winter is very different heavy winds and heavy rain. But we stay indoors as much as possible then, or this winter in the shed.
