    Hi everyone

    here is an introduction to my Garden 16 mm narrow gauge railway.

    The Black Isle Light Railway Company (BILRC) was incorporated in early 2017 as you will see from the pic's I do not have a large garden and the typography is rather steep. The layout is a dogs leg with a station loop and an engine maintenance siding. I run live steam with radio control. And diesel electric battery driven with radio control. All the ground work is now complete and the track installed. This year I propose to start on the Buildings. I am planning a small village on the gravel part you can see in the pictures and a station on the raised section. I am looking for ideas for the top end of the raised section as to what to put on it. All the buildings and other structures will have to be removable for winter.

    Anyway here are some pictures.

    You should have felt (no pun) the wind when putting the roof on

    I used to have my own shed and fence building company and some of the places people wanted their sheds could be boggling. One woman had me bring the panels through her house then whinged when her kitchen floor got mucky :facepalm:.

    Never again..........
