Maybe starting this thread a little premature, but i have been working for quite a while on building parts for my father to have his very own garden railway setup.
Most people would probably go buy stuff from a shop or online, but my issue is i like 1/16 and decided it had to be 1/16. Not really alot exists in this scale for garden railway, so decided to make my own haha
To start we are buiidling a narrow gauge which is running 45mm outdoor plastic track.
Once that is sorted i hope to get on with a 3.5" rail setup using metal track and building some locos capable of draggin people, although it will only be my father or my kids, so nothing like a big 5" or larger rail setup.
I have built a Diesel narrow gauge which i got designs from Thingiverse for the body, however i designed myself a twin motor twin axle drive setup and went from there with full rc gear.
Tonight i have also now built a bit of rolling stock with V1 Bomb, more will come, so watch this space.
Radio gear and battery and speaker setup hides under flip front folding hood.
As for the WW1 comment above in title, we are going to mix it up and have a WW1/WW2 area close to one another, so i will be makign a tin turtle for a WW1 trench layout, so keep your eyes peeled.
I have also been very fortunate to do a deal on a small gasoline engine which will hopefully make it into a open engine shunter.
