7 1/4 Gauge Garden Railway

[barks]

What the hell is with all the adverts on here.

The point was difficult. The tracks on a slight incline. Had to dig out roots. It was the worst place to fit a point where the track joins up with the rest. But I think it’s ok.
Also moved the shed for some outside wagon storage.

Nearly done now.
Should be connected tomorrow.

Cheers

What fantastic fun.
Have you got an engine to run on it yet?
Thanks

Great to see this project up and running again!

[barks]

Yes end2end is in my signature.

Cheers phred.
I’ll update the loco thread Saturday. Should have the chassis finished tomorrow along with wagon frames.

It seems such a waste to just have this in one garden.
It should run a mile or so down the street !!

Barks, brilliant work. Not many of us have the skills to even dream about making something like this.

funny you should say that. I tried to convince my neighbour to take the track through the fence and round his garden.
Cheers bud that’s nice to say.

You wouldn’t say it if you saw my welding.

Looks good. Wingrails at the ready!

Bought a new shed a few months ago and took an angle grinder to it this morning

[Dad-1]

Will that ply floor be strong enough ?
That 08 is no lightweight !!

Hehe. It’s 22mm so I recon it should. If not I’ll pump some concrete under it.

proper baseboard engineering should always involve concrete I think

Take a spoon of cement and harden up, right?
