Whilst searching for ideas on which free website to take advantage of I came across yours.

I think you have a well planned site and enjoyed browsing.

I especially like the page on weathering.

I will eventually weather my stock, I agree with you, weathering completes the illusion .

I am very impressed by these layouts, there is a great deal of authenticity and care in presenting the models and layouts. They are quite realistic settings. I am quite new to this hobby and still experimenting and have landed on Fn3 scale but the 16mm guage looks very good. Keep up the good work. Ian.

I've just found your website via a posting on the 16mm e-group and want to say how much I enjoyed it; thank you for the weathering info and tips, they'll keep me away from other chores for quite a while!

Regards,

You have the greatest garden railway I have seen so far. I love the atmosphere. The layout, the "untidynes" and the weathering gives me the impression that this railway could be for real. I can easely imagine the life that goes on along line.
I am dreaming of getting a garden railway like yours one day.
I first met your railway in "Garden Rail" and would love to read more about it some day...

Andy: what a superd garden railway and a delightful film too. An inspiration to us all! Many thanks for sharing this creation and I am inspired to do more having dabbled for many years: interested to know best places to pick up second hand wagons etc.? Cheers Chris


Thanks for the kind comments Chris. I look for 2nd hand goodies at the Agm and Redhill shows on the second-hand stands .................plus Ebay. In addition items sometimes get put up for sale on the e-mail groups.

I really envy your green garden. Here in Western Canada it is impossible to achieve that effect in a garden railway. Are those little "stock" cars from a kit? If so would you share the name of the kit. Cheers, Don (Calgary)

I bought them 2nd hand Don and then did some work on them. I believe that they are the P & J Models ones. See this link to KGR who stock them and who give more details. thanks for your coments,
