My first Open Day
Posted by powlee on Sunday, August 14, 2005 2:59 PM
I wondered if you might like to see some pics of my first garden open day with the G Scale Society at my home. There are not many pics as my camera misbehaved on the day. Thankfully the weather held out.

I will move this railcar when I find my remote control.

Very nice RR. Looks like a great day for running trains. I can relate to the last statement.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Nice one Ian, looks like a good time was had by all. How many water boilers did you have there?
Cheers,
Kim

Hmm, I noticed I wasn't invited[V]

Looks like you've done a great job on the RR, very tidy. I also like to share what I've done with others (although it seems that everybody else on this forum has a nicer RR than me).

I have the same problem with the [censored]ing remote ever since I went wireless. What they need is a page like a wireless phone..............

Since the remote system I have used since inception almost 12 years ago has a TX that fits into your pocket with no external antenna, losses of TX have been virtually non-existant.

The pics look great! Looks like it was a fun time!

So is it me or can "IAN's" only build awsome concrete viaducts?[:D]
