D6775 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well it snowed again this afternoon while I was working, so I made the effort once I had finished to get out with a couple of lamps to see what I could do. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work and thank you for sharing it. Thanks Andrew, that was the idea. Hopefully this year the scenery will 'grow' more and the railway will slowly disappear more into the garden.

D6775 Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Bit of an ad-hoc session in the garden while a couple of items were delivered and a bit of a MIOG show meeting. It was bloody freezing cleaning the track this morning and it didn't all go to plan with various loco's and wagons not playing ball but we did manage to get one loop running nicely with the turbots and a few loco's. 26005 has broken cover and now needs to go back to St Rollox for rectification and 47492 has arrived to go through works. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6775 Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Well, looks like I will have to slowly re-add some of the earlier pictures but for now here are a couple from yesterday morning. A quick stage before work as the white stuff had come down again. Now the weather is getting better I need to get out and do some post winter maintenance and get up and running properly again. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Well from Snow at the beginning of the month to Sun & BBQ's towards the end. Bit of a running session yesterday. unfortunately I've only got 26024 & 37156 in traffic at the moment, the rest of the fleet need some attention. 47114 & 47309 are both WIP do just posed for some pictures, now back in the workshop, aiming to get these back to Cam this week so we can hopefully get at least one of them in traffic for Doncaster GoG show with Dovedale. 60062 paid a visit with some Skytrex PCA's, unfortunately the PCA's wouldn't play ball around the layout so didn't last long. And lastly, the backbones of my fleet 26024 & 37156 both stretched their legs with the MOD train and the MK1's. So nice to be able to get out into the garden and relax. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Nice update, it took me forever to get my skytrex pcas running right but that could just be down to my dodgy kit building david Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hi Al, sorry to hear about the Errant PCA’s was it just the back to backs or track issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem fine on Dovedale but wouldn't play ball in the garden. I think we gapped the rails too much. We'll have another play with them at some point and see if we can sort them out. I need to get the loco fleet sorted at the moment. Excluding shunters (which aren't here) I am down to one serviceable loco atm, they all need bits re-fitting! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yesterday we finally had our MIOG show debrief and discussed what we want to do next year. The railway got a clean and trains ensued. Finally, not quite sure what this device was that appeared from BT&S: 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Latest of the workbench and into traffic is 33051, an impulse buy but I rather like it. Back to the WB for some rectification this week and it should be appearing on Dovedale at Doncaster next weekend. Also out yesterday the stalwart of the garden railway 37423. 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Fancied a play this evening after work as the sun was out. Just me chilling in the garden with 33051 and 37423 out for a spin. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 As the sun was out and 47114 has come out of works I decided a leisurely Beer and some chilling in the garden was the order of the day this evening. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6775 Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Tower Models pack of Dapol Railfreight HEA's turned up yesterday so it would have been rude not to pose them in the garden before the light went. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
