Pines Beach Railway now under construction.

[GG1Jeff60]

I've always wanted a garden railway, it's always been indoors 0 and N for me. I recently retired and have started with a pond, appropriately named "The Screaming Frog Pond" because the frogs don't "rib-bit" but SCREAM till sunrise.




It's rather small, but easy to maintain, about 2.5 x 1.25 meters.

The first phase will be a simple loop of track going behind the waterfall, a tunnel, then transversing across a home-made bridge.

I picked up some supplies today at the hardware store for the bridge construction.


Next phase, probably next Spring will include a bigger loop, some turnouts and a train shed.

Stay tuned...

Eagerly watching this thread. That's a good setting to work with, and a bridge with purpose, just what garden railways are about.

I like a nice bridge. Sadly I've only got "fake" water, 20mm green granite chippings. Looking forward to seeing how your line develops. I see you have someone to watch over it. Max

A "little" update; the director of construction has given the workers some brief time off due to the extreme heat. LOL

Me too heading that way, but I think the last foot or so should see the Summer out.
