Newbie Garden Train Video-Blog

[Anonymous]

Hello all,
Anyone interested in helping out a newbie via a Blog? I have a few trains and much track but am still trying to figure out how to gp about putting in a temporary-elevated yet greatly landscape garden railroad. Any tips?

Tell me what you think and add your comments please.

Regards, Rick Q.

We'll definately try to help via message board, but don't get too excited if very few people visit your blog (which, btw, is a suitable format for something like a newspaper.)

I wonder if something like L-girder construction used in model railroads would be usable for the garden. Basically what you do to make the L-girders is take two pieces of wood, and turn one so the surface faces up while the other face is perpendicular to it. It looks like an L when done. (Or a 7)

Thanks for the advice Puckdropper!,
I really appreciate your insight and info. I will definately look into what you shared.

I highly respect this website and its community of contributers. I have learned quite a bit from reading the posts and looking at the pictures here. Hats off to all from the top to the bottom.

After keeping a close eye on blogging over the past year I have found that videoblogging really catches my attention more. And you are right about a blog being more of a newspaper which some will read as others prefer to watch the news on a TV. So I guess a videoblog is more like watching rather than reading.

One thing I did not find was any videoblogs or podcast on garden railroading...and they say if you can't find it anywhere make it yourself. So I can't say this is at all planned out, it has just sort of happened. And anyone can do this to with a digital camera, 5bucks a month and you are virtually ready to go.

Since I dont know much about gardens, or garden railways but I am passionate about learning and growing with time, why not document it for others to learn from?

Capture life and share it!

Best regards!
