Chevron Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have just finished the discovery channel series - and found it VERY interesting.Although it was in a larger scale a lot of it can apply to 00 Gauge. I'm sure you guys have seen it what did you think ? Does any one know of anything else like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have to say I thought it was an excellent series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner75 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yep - great series! I love the visits to other garden railways, including the legendary Bob Symes' home. I picked up The Garden Railway Manual book by C J Freezer (http://www.bookdepository.com/Garden-Railway-Manual-CJ-Freezer/9781852604653), and have plans to get something going in the garden in the next couple of years. Currently halfway through a block workshop build - hope to get that completed this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Really enjoyed that. Not all the way through yet but more tonight. Not really into garden railways (they don't mix well with hurricanes;)) but a lot of the principles would be useful constructing indoors as you said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gauge/scale will you be working in for your garden? one issue i found today with 00 was the wind blows over wagons easy if they give a gust. So many derailments over that today. had me running up and down the garden to try catch the trailing of rails wagons before entering a tunnel lol. but today has been quite a gusty day.

Not really into garden railways (they don't mix well with hurricanes;)) but a lot of the principles would be useful constructing indoors as you said Im out of work sick so iv had plenty of "TV" time watch 15 episodes or so in a 2-3 days. Hurricanes would make you want to have ruby slippers the wagons are that light f or that wind lol. But even the "Simple" Wooden bridge he made himself with his A frames and add ons can for sure be brought inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
