On the subject of vehicles previously stated in one of the original posts, I have a Dodge 3500 diesel dually 4x4.
Back on topic however, yes I do own garden railroad. It is still under construction, but nearly complete, and it is a monter rr set in the American Modern West(AMW).
Hi All glad to join here. Hope to chat with you more. A few years back I lost my Right a Way do to the Big D and Had to donate most of my stuff to a club. I had 300 ft of premade track, 7 turn outs. I built a 17 ft long trestel in the front yard , a 24" wide 30" tall 60" long sawmill a small town about 10 structures on the layout that was lite up at night, 2 switch backs, a 8 ft tunnel a 30ft long stream that ended in a 6X6 pond were the main features of the railway. I am planing a new GR here at my new home,it will be a folded dogbone 60ft long 15X 25 and a 15X12 ends. I plan on elevateing the rail line with a dry stack stone wall encompassing the entire line. I am going to hand lay the track. I plan on two water features ,2 towns. My theam is going to be a Narrow Gauge Eastern logging / mineing. based around the West Virgian narrow gauge Prototype lines.
hello, yes i do have a garden railway, albe it a rather small one, its keeps me sain, and it has help me meet a lot of very nice pepole,

Hey there,
Welcome to the forum! That sure is quite a line you have planned. Anytime you lose your trains for whatever reason…build bigger and better! Great bunch here. Enjoy the forum. Later eh…Brian.
Yes I do, albeit a small one… And unfortunately due to health reasons I had to abandon it this year but hopefully can revive it again next spring, that is if I can find the track buried beneath the Elfin Thyme…
Personally I try to not use my mind at all. Just trying to conserve energy.[D)][swg]
I have an outdoor railway. Maybe it could be considered a garden railway. Right now about half of the track is invisible because it is under several inches of leaves.

Yes, but always under construction!
Yes, and it runs!
Future plans are to build a trestle and add more plants this next year.
[#welcome] to the new members.
Yes
About 250 ft but still not completed, have been a bit sick for a while but I’m back into it again.
It is based on a narrow gauge Rio-Grande operation in Fn3 scale.
I have named the railway “Watson Valley. Railway” (totally fictitious) named after the suburb in Canberra where I live.
All the best

not yet but i do have my benchwork done
Under construction. Toy train O scale (Lionelesque):
36 feet of track are already layed inside this warehouse that I just put up on Sunday. Building turnouts now (handlaying track) from the warehouse to the mainline.
Purpose: 1. To provide an industrial warehouse for the railroad; and 2., to house toy trains outside for a planned garden railroad (my shipment of code 148 n/s rail arrived so I can start laying tracks now on cedar ties, which I custom-cut myself).
Specs:
Approx. weight of shed: 100 pounds; filled with trains, transformers and DCS (housed in the upper office portion: 150 pounds.
About 11.5 feet long.
Long roof comes off in one piece; upper office comes out as well.
Structure made of cedar with waterproof wood glue and silicone calking.
Windows are constructed with a variety of parts including a telephone keypad and parts to a computer.
One of the doors was made from brass and two doors were made from boxcar doors.
Roof vents are constructed with plumbing pipe and with Port wine caps.
“Mort Industries” sign was made from a piece of ductwork with Lowe’s mailbox letters (vinyl). They were too shiny so I sprayed them down with auto primer.
Obviously this is a work in progress as tracks are missing.
Below is the door, which is held in place at the bottom w/2 MTH RealTrack center rails and upper part with homemade brass latch.
Below are 8 side delivery doors, with rails from MTH Realtrax spiked with staples. Lights are operational and consist of copper plumbing parts. Electrical outlets between each delivery d
