Garden Railway Forum

Every railway must be served by some road ways, so lets see you cars, buses, motorbikes which adorn your line

Modes of transport (apart from trains) seen on the SLR(N)........

Apart from the "Leave Outs", here's what can usually be seen around the W&LLR.

Brinsley Lodge works van


"The Squires" roadster (He owns Codnor Castle you know!)


Trev the Revs car


There's a biker lives on Railway Terrace and his mate often visits


And a couple of VW enthusiasts are often "trackside" (as they are at Butterley!)

The berry hill works has just bought this off a french telecoms firm to modify for their uses

an old BR landy often resides in the yard

the plod

a traveller

a Dauphine

A vintage ferrari tesa rossa

A 1950's split window beetle

A late 50's oval

A '67 big window

A '67 micro bus

and a porsha 356

That's a nice line up of dubs you have there! (You don't fancy swapping ovals do you - for obvious reasons )

I would do, but that bug is on loan from the SWMBO motor museum. I'll consult them but i fear blue is her favourate colour

I understand perfectly - you need say no more (Other than to let her know that she has an impecable taste in colour! )

Here is Gelert's Tractor. It was regularly used on the railway when River Deben failed to haul the trains....

Been meaning to post mine for a while, not many yet & mostly the same as other peoples by the looks of it.


Porsche 356.


Mercedes.


Austin.


Ford M151 A2 "MUTT". Really should be an A1 as the A2's came out more towards the 80's. The A1 is already pushing the lines date zone really.

No point in posting mine, because most of you will have seen my fleet of Land Rovers! Oh, I have the odd moped or motorbike here and there...

I hope you have 16mm scale oil leaks under all of them Pete!

It's only the Series 3 that does that, and it's marking it's territory!

A week or two ago I bought another 1:18 Beetle. Its a super detailed one and cost ...*cough* £60

Is that why you want to sell your 1 to 1 scale one to fund this lovely model?

It is good though.

I sold my real one!

Oh yes, how cool is that!

So it has funded this one then!

Well I bought this one first and a 1:1 scale Polo!

MINICHOMPS

Is that a Minichamps one? Very pricey for that if it is!
