January 2024 Garden Rail

 

A garden railway is a long-term project. 18 years after his line was first born, Ian Midgley takes us for a journey along the Silverdale Light Railway (North). Plenty has been learnt along the way, but the moment Ian sees a whisp of steam from an engine trundling down the garden, it's all worthwhile.

On the workbench this month:

  • Building a Modeltown steam lorry
  • Anglicising an LGB locomotive
  • Fitting Regner locos with radio control
  • Making ceramic buildings
  • Simple, remote point control
  • Scratchbuilding a sheep wagon.
  • Building a travelling van
  • Creating timetables using dice

Plus all the new products for modellers in the larger scales.
