ba14eagle Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Daws Heath is owned by a guy called Paul Barnard, who before his retirement, had a business building garden railways. I really like his railway, but his trains are always running far too fast for my liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Yes, he often posts new videos during the summer months but while it's a really nice layout, I'm with Iain, as it's just a little bit too 'busy' for me with so many trains racing around. I'm pleased to see that his 'views' are increasing though because at one time his videos were getting very little exposure and it does deserve a much wider audience as I'm sure it's a layout that will appeal to many people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasI Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 In any case, someone had a good knack for designing and building with concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Yes, there are some amazing 00 garden railways on YouTube, but they are so hard to find! These are two of my favourites that I've come across that are in complete obscurity on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I remember seeing the TAY video and wondering how they made those viaducts, I actually think it was one of Micks video's that inspired me to make my railway, I didnt even discover the forum till about a month after I finished.

Archie Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm guessing the brick is some kind of plaster by the way its chipping off at the sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasI Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 16 minutes ago, Archie said: I'm guessing the brick is some kind of plaster by the way its chipping off at the sides So the bridge was poured of concrete with the help of a repeatedly used form and the brick were then poured from a plaster or ceramic casting compound into molds made to match the concrete structure. This is actually the only method that is plausible given the dimensions. He certainly did not engrave the individual stones by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 yes, I'm guessing he used a homemade flexible (silicone?) mould with plaster poured in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
