Spring time = time to start a garden railway
« on: June 21, 2011, 11:42:44 »
Hi ,

after a long and hard winter I started this spring my new gardenrailway layout.
The first steps can be seen in the youtube video:

(This video is a few weeks old, the work has made slight progress since then.)

The first loco (an RC one) made the initial rounds last weekend, unfortunately I made no pics and no video.....

Regards

Hi,

here a few pictures from the construction of the new layout.

On the pictures you can see the chippings under the sidewalk flagstones , also the wires can be seen which are used to power the railway every 6-7 meters.

Hi,

wherever possible I prefer to use long straight tracks, they are also available in 60cm and 120cm lenght.
The benefit is a more reliable current transmission and therefore less bucking from the locos.
