IMG_6171.JPGNo.2 crosses the viaduct


Moring all,

Earlier yesterday, I mentioned about my friends G Scale Garden Railway, which has a temporary name of The NBB (I forget what it stands for, but I'll be creating a new logo & name for him by his request).

His network is based in the era of Early 1950's -> Mid 1960's. All his buildings are scratch built or modified plastic doll houses.

I will try to update this thread with on going 'behind the scenes' workshop photos when I can.

These are some of the few photos i taken when i visited him & his railway last Saturday.

Which line goes where?
The line going to the left goes to the long tunnel & is the main line
The line from the bottom is the workshop line
The platform line is the main line
The line to the top is the run-a-round

No.2 Passes through the station to then push the rolling stock to the workshops. The end coach kept derailing on its last run. May i add that the cob webs are from the tunnel.

The viaduct i forget the name of (sorry!).

D10 is in for a light refurbishment & a new colour scheme. The green carriage in the background is scratch built from two playmobil coaches & a bachmann frame.

After a long day, No.2 rests up & gains a light service

A great-looking line and some nice modelling going on there, especially the Playmobil/Bachmann coach bash!

Looks as though the line has been established for some time? Everything is nicely bedded-in and realistically overgrown in places....

The line from my understanding has been there for about 10+ years, but the section with the tunnel is a little more recent as the original line just went round the village & into the shed(s). As you say, it feels realistic to watch. The Playmobil/Bachmann Bash is one of my favourite coaches he has, as the coach has a lot of character to it :)

Glad you like it, I'll pass that on to him. The village is definitely wonderful looking with most of it being handmade in his workshop. I'll certainly keep posting about this, you never know, the next post may include the wee inspection vehicle :D
