Garden Railway Forum

erm, my first thought was something boston lodge-y, but knowing you it could be ravenglass related.

am i close?

Your really quite close on Boston lodge, can anyone identify which building at Boston lodge?

Either a ahort two road version of the loco shed, or possibly the old loco shed?

Its dads shortened version of the old engine shed, I wasn't sure of the likness which is why I wanted to see if anyone could guess what it was.

It'd have to be really long for it to be the old loco shed, I can see the resembelance of the doorway, clearly based on the current re-build! Nice building.

I'd love to buy a nice big garden in the future and make a railway with as many Ffestiniog features as possible, including a certain somone' house .

That would be mighty impressive, although would there be a small model railway in the garden of the model of someones house
Well we really had to base it on the rebuild, thanks to the many pictures provided by Mr Dimmick

Yep, shame Z gauge won't be a convincing 32mm.

Well I take it you have seen the engine shed in my avater (finally managed to post one after many months!), and the building dad started first, the model of the Gweithdy from Minffordd station carpark is virtually finished.

The company name on the (yet to be attached) signboard will mean much to anyone who knows the Ffestiniog railway well- particualy parks and gardens.

That's a cracking building mate.

Excellent work!!! Lovely - Can I have it?

wonderfull building

That is great. I've used tin cans to make a small corrugated shed, but the plastic your dad has used looks better. Might have to invest in some of that. Also won't rust like my shed is going to do.

I bought some thin plywood this morning to make a wooden garden shed out of, I am building up to the bigger things. Your (your dads?) models are great inspiration for not having to spend a fortune on kits.

Yup tis a very nice building indeed.

I second that & it looks even more impressive in real life due to its large size

Nice, and Clayton, lol. I must admit that I am impressed at Dad's building skills, for once. It really does look rather good.

The Gweithdy is fully finished and in place now, here's a pic, though I suppose I should of put the engine shed out as well and fully shown what the area looks like now with both buildings, but never mind

Looks good doesn't it (im not blowing my own trumpet so to speak here, as I didn't build it )
I should post a pic now of all 3 of the finished buildings at Afonglas in place, as I have finally finished the main station building for Afonglas, a lineside delights kit

superb!!!
