Hi,
I`ve been a member here for sometime but I don`t think that as of yet I`ve introduced myself or my railway.
I`m Malc from the North Wilts area, I`ve been involved with G scale for some 20 plus years now and in that time have had 2 garden railways. Some may remember my first attempt, the Possum Creek and Alpine Pass RR from open days with the SW area group of the G Scale Soc.
After a house move in 2006, a new plan was formulated, construction began, and finally became a reality 3 or 4 years ago. I moved from US Colorado narrow gauge as an inspiration to the White Pass and Yukon, after my wife Tracey and I honeymooned in Alaska! Thus was born the Tidewater and Lake Teslin RR, a branch off the WP & YR from Carcross to the state capital of Juneau - quite a flight of fancy I know!
The line is basically a circuit with a spiral one end and a folded loop at the other, plenty of opportunity for steep gradients, tunnels, bridges and tight curves as per the real White Pass. Stock is mainly LGB and Bachmann with a bit of USA trains thrown in in. Obviously we couldn`t be without a couple of LGB Alcos!
I`ve dropped in a couple of pictures to set the scene...
