5" Gauge - Grandad's Trains

[Julian140199]

I'm from AUSTRIA. Can you tell me how long did you need to build your "railway"?

[ren439]

This is great where do they sell these trains at, S. California here.

I've got one in my back garden which connects up to my grandparent's garden who lives next door. I have 3 steam locomotives called Dudley, Magic Harry (My grandad made it when he was young and named it after him, We have problems with it when it's cold) and one that looks like Thomas The Tank Engine. My little 3 year old cousin loves going on 'Thomas' everytime she comes round.

I've brought an diesel locomotive just before Winter and that often runs on my railway alongside 'Thomas'.

That Loco looks like a LiL Switch engine,cool !!. :-)

Nice work grandpa... so what voltage are you u

sing 12? 24... battery or feeding from the rails?

[paujmid]

This engine is a single 12v car battery with top speed about 6mph. Others we do are 24v with top speed of 11mph - too fast for the boys.

I am looking to get a 4 wheel wagon in 7.25"gauge built.

If only someone would meke scale models of diesels as detailed as the l;ive steam stuff, made from steel, body everything with multi cylinder petrol engine that looks like the real diesel!

scale inside and out!
