Building a Garden Railway

[Colin2897]

Hi All
Just after some thoughts on building a garden scale garden railway in my back garden i will be raising it up to about 4 feet high as I am not getting any younger probably on wooden poles and boards to lay track on
Many thanks and hello

Hi Colin
Sounds like a good plan.

Welcome to the forum. Plenty of good advice here when and if you need it.

Keep us updated as to progress. We like photos.

My line is 4ft high with in the pictures for inspiration including a lower track. I mostly used Metposts in the ground held in place with Postcrete making sure the wood is out of the ground. Where the post is on flags I drill into the wood centrally, drilling and banging in a big 6” nail with the flat head cut off leaving a few inches proud. Then a hole is drilled in the flag and the nail slipped into the hole.

Have a Look at by ‘New Railway is started’ thread in blue below where you will find ultimately some of my notes.
