Graham White is a chap I’ve known since bumping into him at a Festiniog Railway event back in 1993.
He is a member of the Guidlford MES and stalwart of their 16mm track.

He is also a regular at the Exeter Garden Rail show with a portable display track from Guildford.

 

But he has spent a lot of time building his own garden railway and put together this video showing how it came about, construction and so on.

An update on Mike's 3.5 inch Saint. "The water valves, brake column and handrails are not fitted as I intend to lift the tank off again (6 screws) and get it painted and lined.  The chassis is all compete also as is the smokebox etc. I have made the steam brake valve, turret and a couple of other boiler fittings and am looking at things like the regulator with associated front bushes and header and also the superheater. I can usefully make a few other items like splashers but I'm not keen on making even basic foot plating or the cab until I have a boiler in place.

Some photos from Andrew Harvey of progress with his Foden Lorry.

I thought it was time to get the carpentry tools out for a change. My new tool chest started life as an old oak drop leaf table - Bob Perkins.
