Garden Railway Forum

This is a Thread for anyone to show their own Giphy.

Well I managed to work out how to make an Animated Gif. Reading Drew's thread "HOW to make a Giphy" If you are more IT minded or simply very good at doing things like this, you will find it interesting I think, it depends on what you like. It would be great if you have any thing that relates to garden railways, but it doesn't need to, although we don't want to overloaded with just those that are not related please.

I have made one of my Roundhouse Billy's first run on our first FWLR line, hope you like it.

This was the first time I had operated a live steam loco and I found it quite daunting at first, the line was not perfectly level by any means, you have to remember, I hadn't tackled anything as big as this before. In the end all of my lines have been undulating, I find it makes you drive any locos wether that be battery or live steam. Live steam is the more challenging though I think...

Anyway give it ago and let's have a laugh, it doesn't always need to be serious hobby like a lot of the diehards seem to think it should be.....I always have fun if possible when I run anything on a line.

Here's one from last fall, before the patio was complete and before the raised bed was started:

Nice gif Rod. Well done for mastering the technique.

I don't want to sound pedantic, but I should just point out that if it is non-garden railway related, it should go in the Off Topic section anyway, not General Garden Railways.

In a way Philip, it is garden related isn't it. Especially if they are done with something that has any movement on a track or line side, like a coal chute or waterwheel, running water..anything that moves on our near our lines. But if you feel it should be in the Off Topic section, that's ok.

No, you have missed my point Rod. Your original post suggested that people could post NON-garden related items to your thread ("... if you have any thing that relates to garden railways, but it doesn't need to..."). Those are the ones that should be on Off Topic.

Ok Dokie Philip understood. Should have put only railway related shouldn’t I…. Sorry.
