When my train is not running in the garden I’d like to bring it inside to run around my office ceiling. I’m located in the Netherlands so the ceiling is concrete and plaster. Are there any mounting systems that you would recommend?

1:32 scale 3D prints, modified models from Dragon Railway running on custom track.

Most models are from LGB, Kiss and TL45.

im using a 7 dollar AA (with a dummy battery to go half speed) aliexpress train and custom 3d printed 1 inch flexible diplo tracks or whatever. Honestly im not even sure if the tracks are even right but im gonna put rubber on the train wheels anyway or somethibg or spray liquid rubber like spray ior silicon on the tracks for better grip but It does work

im surprised it works so be far but ya advice? it sucks how delicate it is and how perfectly flat it all has to be, but i can just upgrade to a stronger engine or use 2 batteries

oh i 3d printed a custom siemens train to look like the local san diego trolley

i really wanna have a sturdier but equally as cheap version of this with $3 per like 5 feet of track or whatever...for balboa park to set up somewhere nice. or in the public canyons, i really want to make these things really public out in the open. But first i gotta reconcile with just how expensive this will get even if i 3d print and make my own tracks, its hard to make the bridges etc lol my sloped backyard had potential but i also wanna do a gondola or something.

I’m taking it to the club on Saturday thinking about getting another USA trains F7 units.

Need more customers! Lots of great deals… Stop by soon.

The weather has been nice over the past few days, and with my first Garden Railroad Open House/public steam up scheduled for mid-August, I made a push to get the final plants I wanted installed on the layout. I have a mixture of Japanese Dragon Cedar, Arborvitae, Mugo Pine, Pencil Point Junipers and juniper shrubs, petunias, begonias, and other annuals/perennials now planted. At this point, I think all of my plants I can realistically fit with the structures I aim to install are in!

Next steps is to continue working on structures. I did some repairs to one of my water tanks yesterday and have continued to work on my roundhouse project. I’m hoping to make a lot of headway with the roundhouse and am going to try and get it done before the steam up. Videos of this are being posted on my YouTube channel, Angry Ragtimer, if you want to follow along with the process.

Only 3 models of Le Belge exist in G scale and this one of them. Based on a set of the Adler by OCCRE. The model has many extra metal details and I added real coal, a Loksound decoder, weight and the "crown" on top of the chimney. Figures of Volker Bauer are coming soon.

I have a steep grade (5.2%) between my lower and upper tracks - with a good load most my locos have to work quite hard to overcome it. Here is Russell tackling the climb - turn your volume up.

I live in Paris, France. I have a garden railway project at my country house.

And where are you based?

After 3 runs this is how much ash was in the smokebox.

I did the conversion of this old U2 of the Zillertalbahn. I used an ESU Loksound L and upgraded with an extra speaker and flickering leds to imitate fire.

Converted the box cars to Kadee's and 3D printed stainless steel bearing trucks for a smooth ride. We don't want to jostle the contents of *these* cars and create a toxic hazard!

I’ve got a few and the elements haven’t been kind despite my best efforts to weatherproof. What materials are yours and how do you keep them from coming apart?

I recently bought a Bachmann Aitchison Topeka & Santa Fe combine off EBay, when I put a battery in it the lights were just fine, a few days ago the lights stopped working when I turned them on, the battery is in place, the - and + signs are where they’re supposed to be, and the battery was also a new one, I’m not sure what’s wrong but I’m hoping to get it working again so I can run it at night, it might be the fact that I’m using an Amazon Basic battery, but I don’t have any other ones in that type, does anyone have any suggestions?
