Anyone live near Redruth in Cornwall uk wanting to help run my Garden Railroad?​

I usually weather permitting run trains two nights a week and one weekend day. You are welcome to bring your own equipment to run ,and the track is designed for 1/29 but most 1/24 will pass through the openings, track, battery and self propelled loco's.

Yes that would be good, may pick your brains as well about control or lack of it hehe!!
 
I sometimes have that 'lack of control' problem. It come on a various times, especially when I have an eBay screen in front of me! :D:D

Naughty lot, you thought something entirely different! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Wow Pete, my wife wants me to take you up on that offer and move to the UK to make that possible. Only problem is we are 12,000 miles away in Las Vegas and I have a job here in the US which enables me to eat. I am still trying to figure out if we might be close enough in September to stop by.
I guess we can still dream.

hi there, I must apologise for the ig one I dropped, I completely forgot about the exhibition at the weekend as I thought it was this one coming up, sorry, I was really looking forward to seeing it and having you visit here, I am at the point of needing to replace my ageing locolinc system with something more modern, I still run with track power and have a few locos with batteries fitted but as there are around a dozen it gets a bit stretching keeping it all running, so was looking at what you would recommend, when is the next exhibition you are at pref in the south west?
cheers Pete
