A Phoenix rises?

After years of neglect I've finally managed to find time to start work on rehabilitating the railway back into what it was, Through a combination of shoddy construction and 3 years of abandonment the trestle bridge has been completely destroyed. I have begun work on building a new one using the bents of the old one and will update the blog once this happens.

More recently after struggling to find anything on ebay. I decided to address the issues I've been having sourcing anything in G scale that I can use. Using the program solidworks, I have drawn up a series of freelance drawings I can get laser cut.









standard 30ft underframe assembled and disassembled














This allows me to build multiple bodies on the same under-frame and have full control over giving my stock a "family" look that/ is so important, while also keeping things cheap.

I'll update this when I cut more out

Since my last post a lot has happened (evidenced by the fact I'm almost 18!) the bridge was deemed not strong enough by the rest of management and so the railway has languished with the bridge dismantled. An On30 layout was started from the bones of a HO one but that is a story for another time

Next update (hopefully in under two years...) ill put photos up, I meant to but my phone died yesterday

till next time
