The Heatherburn Garden Railway (00)
Re: The Heatherburn Garden Railway (00)
Well its offical the Heatherburn is no more. As mentioned elsewhere I am starting a new layout soon but to make way for it something has to go. Had things been different the Heatherburn would have now been finished and giving me the enjoyment of opperating my stock instead of being mothballed and overgrown for the past couple of years. The outside section is still intact and will be for a while yet but inside the garage is a different story. Thankfully I have managed to reclaim the pointwork by pouring boiling water over the points then easing them up gently once the balast had softened. I have taken pics of the distruction but I think that it would be better to remember the Heatherburn for its good bits like the canal area. So after almost 5 years its time to sign off with this project and move on to the new layout.

Hi mate
So sad to hear it was too much to make it worthwhile, if only 'cos I loved the meticulous attention to detail and realistic operation that is a rarity in garden railway modelling. But hell, at least you did it. And it looks/looked bloody excellent. And thanks for sharing it all with us.
Cheers fella

Hi, I have sat and read this thread over the last few days on and off and actually got to the last page to find it is being dismantled
Sorry to hear that but good luck when you start another one.
Enjoyed reading about your railway, I think you have done a great job. I have never seen such detail in OLE. And the traffic lights are amazing! I could go on! Too much good stuff to mention...
Thanks
Dan
