After 15 years in an house, I'm now living in a flat and I'm preparing a garden railway for my future home.
You shall find here a few pages made from my search on the subject.
Yet existing in English
And still only in French:
Environnement
Construction
Fleet
Buying equipment
And resources
You could find a few extracts of the book 'LGB track planning and technical guide'
Yet this is only a project to be done in a few years and I slowly buying on Internet a complete LGB fleet.
I have yet three locos (2017D and two O&K), a tram, 3 passenger cars and and a whole set wagons.
I've also bought new an Accucraft Countess live steam loco for around 1200 Euros.
I have prepared the 2017 motor connections for battery or DCC power (modification of motors to cut the links between motors and wheels).
I have built two new PIKO cabin kits bought in Germany for 100 Euros both.
I made preliminary choices:
- Narrow gauge LGB equipment, with two axles wagons and cars
- Battery powered loco with RCS control system
- PECO G-45 track (code 250) installed at height (70-80 cm) on planks used to be also plants pot
- Not really a model, but plausible french environment
I am not willing to make a model, more a toy.
