Hi, about 15 years ago I built a garden railway on a Harz Railway theme. It used mainly LGB equipment and featured in the G Scale Society Journal a couple of times. 5 years ago it was dismantled as we were going to move house. All the equipment was safely stored at friends houses.
We are now in our new house and all the DIY is done, so its modelling time again. However, the new house does not have a garden, so no room for a model railway outside. I can watch real trains from the conservatory though. But I do have a railway room. I've had a framework built that can house two model railways, one above the other. I've got back all my LGB from storage and have started building an indoor LGB layout. The baseboards are built, the track is laid and I've run my first train. Going indoors you realise just how big G scale is, all I can fit in is a oval of track, a passing loop and three sidings.
The next job is a second attempt at reprogramming the point decoders (tried but failed a few days ago) and complete the electrics. After that its the scenery, wonder if anyone makes platform sides like you get on the East German narrow gauge lines?
