Hi All
Great forum and loads of info thanks, had my garden layout for a few years now . I was helping to store my dads LGB stuff while he moved house and somehow a few bits of rail / bridges and the odd loco went missing !!!! but was found safe and well as a new layout in my own garden !!! abite 1/6th the size of his layouts. He didnt miss anything and he let me have his hamburg tram set to play around with.
I moved onto building a mamod two years ago which was fun and converting this to gas, it goes a stink and is too fast for my small loop layout. Live steam in Mamod is a great starter but dont think i will go anyfurther then this as i work quite hard and need more plug and play !
Im now currently in the Mancave at weekend when not in the caravan converting the Hamburg tram to a GREAT ORME tram (no 7), im changing this to RC (deltang) thanks to Riks blog and Phil at RC Trains and about to respray to dark blue and apply some new decals (im a printer by trade so no bother i hope)
Just back from holiday in Austria/Bavaria and inspired to build a copy of the Zugspitze railway if i can get hold of the blue LGB set (it seams to be a rear find) at somepoint, if anyone know of one forsale do please let me know (its lgb 70246). I have the cable car prepared for the Austrian side of the mountain... see attached picture
