That's really cool! I wanted a garden railroad but my wife killed the idea. I think using it as a backdrop is brilliant! :thumbup: Any more pics?

Thanks guys.
I have many pictures of my railway, maybe I'll post them in the "any other business" section.
Meantime a few more of T 312 in the station yard.

That's looks real good Tiggr ! Great looking Tank and railroad ! how cool is that and I noticed the Bridge in the background ! looks such a great set up you have there :D :clap: :clap:
I did make a Bridge a while back its kinda finished but need to weather the road surface on it and make it looked used.

Really like the first shot. If you were to make it black and white it could pass for the real thing in a WW2 photo.

An atmospheric setting you have there, and that (all seasons?) railway..well, that's surely a big kid's dream. I couldn't help thinking that you must have a tunnel there too for the train- and Tiger-to emerge from...and even a little pit pony tunnel.
The trucks at the side of the rails resemble the Drams of coal (in Wales) or 'Trams/tubs of coal' (12cwt) pulled by pit ponies, or steam driven pulleys.. The bridge is spectacular enough; but if you have a tunnel too....well, you Lucky man. :thumbup:

I do have a tunnel but the tiger is too big for it.
A couple of shots of the railway - hope you don't mind Mr Moderator...
