Hi Guys, well I'm back into construction after a long period away due to being busy with other things. I've been trying to post pics along with this post but for some reason the file loader isn't playing ball ???,has something changed while I've been away or is the fault at my end ? Cheers DAVY
well mate, It'll be good to read your updates again.
yes, this forum has changed technology where older browsers cannot post photos.
I recently had to add Firefox so I am able to post photos, versus when I used IE8, SP3. Apparently Chrome and Firefox are the preferred browsers.
there's a discussion about this topic at the ' Suggestions' header.
Looks great! What kind of track are you using?
Hi Chris good to hear from you. Right...well I'll get one of my buddies who understands computer things to sort out whatever I need to post pics ASAP. In the meantime I'll just keep taking pics as I go and post them once my PC has been sorted out. Matt, I'm using Peco streamline nickel silver track throughout. My whole garden has been neglected for months so I have a lot of weeding and pushing back nature to do,however a few good days work will make a difference. As long as the weather stays good I'll get pushed on. Cheers DAVY
Davy, hope all is well. I know its the winter time but I would be interested in seeing your photos from last summer on your outdoor 2 rail layout.
Hi George good to hear from you, made a bit of a start to getting back into the layout ,however the year turned out very busy with work plusI was heavily involved in the political referendum here in Scotland which took up most of my time,so I'm afraid the layout has languished another season. However , spring is just round the corner again !
All the best DAVY
Spring is just glimmer in my eyes living in Northern New England. Ahhh, the political referendum, Interesting. Anyways its always enjoyable to see your 2 rail O layout its very different from the typical G scale layouts I have seen around my area.
Hi Davy,
Any news on your Garden railway? I hope all is well.
Hi George, nice to hear from you. Well, I'm afraid that the whole back garden and railway project ended up severely neglected for a variety of reasons. One real major problem was my big pond. The pond started to leak badly,so after draining and inspection i found that it wasn't just one leak but that the butile liner had failed in many places and was beyond repair. Anyway, the upshot was that I've decided to re-build the whole garden from scratch. I have just begun the demolition work in the last couple of days. As for the railway ,there will be very little left of the original track route .The turntable and loco servicing area will remain though the track layout will also need modified. the new route though will go right to the extremities of the garden and I plan a station right in front of the big window at the back of the house. So I'll can sit and eat meals and have the trains run close by.
I haven't been idle though , I have completely re-built the front garden at my house over the last few months . Started last October but unfortunately injured my shoulder quite bad so that halted progress for a good few weeks. However I got back into it in the new year and its now finished. I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow. Anyway, like I say the back garden and all that work i did before is now gettin ripped apart .So theres a lot to be done before I get to track laying again .Right now its like a bomb site. Major reconstruction ,new pond ,the lot then finally the trains. davy
