Hello,
Mal here from wet and windy Perth. New to garden railways but not really new to the model rail scene. Had a couple small OO layouts over the years but they didn't get finished as much as I had hoped. Life and family, the usual excuses. Have also been collecting static model steam for a number of years (Bowman, Wilesco etc) which I also fire up from time to time.

I retired in October last year (after 40 odd years in the Data Centre industry) and have always fancied scratch building stuff. Started playing around with ideas based on Meccano chassis etc

first wagon... not too bad... roughly (really roughly) 10mm=1 foot. Could do better...

Then I needed something to pull it... so the wee Fowler on another meccano chassis turned up... well this was fun ... and runs well...

I thought I could do better on the wagon, especially once i found tenmille on the web... wagon v2... really 10mm = 1foot full timber chassis working buffers etc
...its a scale 6" too short as I only found a full set of drawings AFTER I almost finished it...V3 will be perfect :-)

So, ok. Decided I needed a loop to run my builds....this is where the garden railway connection begins.....

A basic 6m x 4m loop using 45mm track (LGB and LGB compatible). It will evolve I am sure, already have ideas for spurs, stations, buildings etc.

Currently working on a chassis of a BR Class 06 shunter - this will be 10mm to the foot and will be using battery and R/C...

Chassis is 3mm MDF, and all the detailing will be sytrene, timber etc. connecting rods were custom made for me. ...anyway will show more pics of this if anybody is interested.

So yeah here I am ready to learn from those who have been here before me.

Cheers,
Mal
 
Hi MalOz_1957 MalOz_1957
Welcome to the clan, so as to speak.
Looks like you are off to a great start, very impressed with what you have done so far.
You will be warned about the level of humour on the site, don't let that stop you though;)
carry on carrying on.
Cheers,
Ian
