Welcome Steve, loads of advice is available here, mostly very useful! One early piece though, steep curves on railways aren't usually a good idea!

Thanks.
Nice to know advice is just a question away.

since you already harvested a cartload of typical comments...
just welcome!

Thanks for the welcome

Curves..... they will tell you to use the flatest possible radius.
Steeper....... does not compute, garden trains don't like anything steep.

Welcome from the colonies.

Thanks

Made a start the other day, managed to pick up a battery powered christmas train set. Very basic, loco, tender and one carrage. Local garden center is train themed, they had some festive sets left over from the Christmas sales and were selling them off cheap.
Got it for £45, it was originally £99.
At the moment trying to sort out some straight track, as all I have at the moment is curves.
Its a start.

Probably should have started a new thread for this, will do next visit.

Welcome. You don't even have to ask a question to get advice!

Hello,
My name is Joe (aka Sparky Joe). Joined today to add to my knowledge base. I've been G gauge railroading about 5 years now. I have a small railroad named HDRR. I do a lot of YouTube videos to document my progress. On YouTube I use the nom de guerre Sam Colt. Take a look at my railroad if you like. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmcf8bIebZRP3ZEUJKEo71A/videos

Welcome Joe!
Didn't have time to do more than a quick glance at a couple of your videos, but looks like you have a fun and practical layout there.

There's certainly a knowledge base on here..... in fact much of our knowledge could very well be described as "base"......

Jon.
