It did but does need some work now. Garden railways seem to deteriorate between running days.

1 man p way team is what we are lol constantly making adjustments to track

Too right but it is manageable. I use a battery loco to test the track no mamod gets steamed up until the battery one has made it round 3 times without derailing.

i tend to just have a visual check then take a steady run round to clear its throat then load up on a train. Have you any upgrades on yours?

I have upgraded to dream steam high pressure valves and some are gas fired and others are meths. Mostly standard piston

I have a meths burner with standard safety valve but at the weekend of I'll be getting a uprated safety Valve and water top up valve. The meths burner alone has already made a big difference in power but the standard safety valve is constantly blowing so there's defiantly extra steam to be had there

Adding a water top up valve would stop you having a whistle. I have always preferred to have the whistle.

I'm very impressed with how good the Sylvanian Families house looks as a station building.

Thank you a quick repaint and it is an instant station masters house. Mind you the rear roof could do with a massive repair

Is the green Tram / Trolley Bus a scratchbuild?

Posted: **Thu Dec 17, 2015 8:41 pm**

No it's a faller playtrain tram from the inter city set painted up a bit to lose the toylike finish

Ye Gods Have I really not posted anything on here since 2014 AD.

Ok Cement trackbed is now well established and the trackplan has been revised a bit. My stock has really been added to in the mean time and is now very popular on the show circuit with the Hampshire area Group Modular railway

2017 Bryan, I think you misread

Good to hear it's still functioning and that you remain involved with other garden railers, even if you haven't been on the forum so much.
