Garden Railway Forum

I've taken a panoramic set of photo's (left to right) of my friends line - just thought I'd share them as inspiration for others who may not have boundless acres of space to play with.
Dave suffers mobility issues, so the size and low maintenance of the restricted space available are a boon, not a hindrance to enjoying garden railfaring

And I thought the Westwood & Loscoe was small!!

The lifting access bridge is in the bottom RH corner of this shot.




The round green planter on the left is a turntable base!




And here we are back at the access point!


I think you'll agree, he's certainly packed a lot in and there's plenty of "atmosphere" for such a small space!

Anyone got / seen a smaller line?

That certainly is inspiring,
I have to say that my railway is shorter line length wise and smaller in terms of scenery.

Nice.

Does anyone remember that line that featured in Garden Rail a few years back. It was made using mamod track, in a very confined space, but still served several complete villages, with all the buildings handmade using slate.

do you mean the pimlico tramway by any chance?

The Pimlico Tramway website was one of my favourite virtual visits, but all the links seem to be broken

Unless anyone knows differently?

Wow, what a fantastic little railway!

And I think Peter Pimlico doesn't pay the fee for the domain name or something anymore, hence why his website is down.

I believe that at the present time the 'Pimlico Directors' are concentrating all there efforts on building an indoor sm32 railway & that the outdoor line has not seen much use lately.

No not the Pimlico Tramway, The Grimsdyke Light Railway, issue 143, it's on the front cover.
