HI folks, A well as me still doing the GN15 T bag mine ex "wikiwoodtown" im going to do a 1/12th scale dolls house garden railway, dolls scale is 1" inch to the foot where as GN15 scale is 1/2"inch to the foot. The idea for me is for me to operate a small layout and my wife to operate the dolls house, well for the garden railway i managed to get a nice N gauge train set (2mm to the foot) a wild west set called IRON DUKE from a nice lady on fleabay who also lives in seacome (so easy to pick up thanks tina). Now N gauge track works out at about 3 1/2" gauge just right for a garden railway in 1/12th scale. Well i started to look for one, for days i looked and the prices and the range is so vast BUT at last i found one on our local gumtree a perfect house right size, right type, right price (a local family from upton thanks lee) its good living on the wirral ALL local produce so far. The owner of the little house is called CASEY CHUFF as he,s a sort of a cousin of casey jones who was on the television in the 60,s i used to watch as a kid. X.

HI again folks, Well the house is in bits now ready to paint and put windows and back door in. X

back windows and back door have been done.

HI everyone, A bit more of the dolls garden railway this is a picture of the board i will be using (3 foot X 4 foot) cheers mike.

HI again, These are pictures of the 2 coaches and black steam engine and big american diesel engine with some rolling stock cheers mike.

HI, I also got a lorry and 2 cars for the dolls model railway and ive managed to paint some of CASEY CHUFFS house, he said he likes blue...cheers mike.

HI FOLKS, Here is a couple of pictures of the base board for the model garden railway it has the batons underneath to keep it from moving as mr CASEY CHUFF has a garden model railway for the garden he asked for a 7 1/4" gauge railway for himself. A circle of track plus a siding has been put down ive just got to make the engine and rolling stock

HI everyone, Today MR chuff is on the baseboard soon to be his model garden railway watching me start to put his 3 1/2" gauge track down.cheers mike x.

Good morning, Today MR chuff gets another new house again local produce i got it from a charity shop called stick & step in new ferry (many thanks). Also i hope to spray the small house roof from pink to grey or maybe put some home made tiles on im not sure?? . Well choochoo for now OH NO the bloody dog thinks im calling him ...mike.x.

Hi all, Well ive sprayed the small house roof, BUT the bloody wind has just blew dust around back where im spraying all over the roofs two minutes after taking this photo (@$cking sh@&!! beep/beep) oh well start again. The sides of the house have been pebble dashed no problem there thank goodness . mike..x.

Great thread! I've built and decorated a doll's house (from a kit) and made a flower garden and allotment for it, but the idea of a doll's house having its own model railway is really neat. Have fun! I have some white microfleece fabric I lay out carefully over the roof and put down instead of the gardens, with some twinkly trees, to make it into a large Christmas decoration.

Hi greenwood, What a great idea you have a two in one themed house has your little house family got a name? and thanks for watching take care. cheers mike..

HI everyone, Well MR chuff wanted me to take up the old 7 1/4" track and redo it again with a siding and now a passing loop as well for his family and his house is being put back together. The model 3 1/4" garden railway HE moaned about that so ive got to redo that. cheers mike.

HI everyone, Today MR chuff is inspecting his new station ive started building him (i hope he likes it?)...x.

Hello all, Well today MR chuff has had a trial fitting of his station roof and he,s trying out his choochoo "OH not you again stupid dog!" i meant his train silly dog...

HI again, Here is the small gauge garden railway now laid...x.

Hi everyone, Well today MR chuff has taken delivery of the grass panels for his garden, it was kindly donated (again local produce) from a nice lady from wilson,s carpets here in moreton (many thanks jackie). Last night i started to do a tunnel for MR chuffs side of the track...cheers for now mike..x.

Here,s the pictures of the start of the tunnel...

Hi everyone, Well MR chuff is inspecting his new paddock for BILLY (the silly goat) to keep him off the railway line. He,s got some new grass and also i,ve put some ballast around MR chuffs station and planted two small trees. chow for now mike..x.

picture of station..x. OH i nearly forgot i also put the garden gauge signal box you can just see it next to the station...

Hi all, While im waiting for the glue to dry on the shed floor that im building for MR chuff to put his garden railway trains in. I,ve started to build a small railway bridge out of match sticks and super-glue for him. choochoo for noo..x. (not you silly dog!)

Funnily enough I haven't named the inhabitants - a man and woman for each side of the house, two dogs and a cat. I should explain that the house has a split personality - one half is standard turn of the century doll's house and the other is more Tudor. I couldn't decide which style to do, so I did a bit of both. Means two kitchens and no living rooms, of course! Could always change it back at some point...

Hmm... must learn how to add an image, sometime!

HI Greenwood, What a beautiful house "well done" it would look nice with a small train layout out side maybe???. MR chuff who own,s my garden railway and house has one dog (choochoo) and a goat (billy) he might have more in the future?...cheers for now.

HI all, Here,s the finished railway bridge made out of match sticks just a bit of weathering to do....x.

HI, Here,s two pictures of the railway bridge i,ve just painted with mahoghany colour varnish as the bridge looked to new/wrong wood as the american railroad bridges i,ve seen in pictures looks like dark wood?? (well to me it does).Cheers for now...x.

Hi all, Today MR chuff is very very pleased with his new model railway bridge he,s just told choochoo the dog NO PISSING on the bridge!. The reason im building the tunnel on the corner of the garden is to hide the two train controls inside, one for the big railway and one for the small railway. The photo of the shed in the other corner is for MR chuff to put his little trains in. Under the new railway bridge there is a small road with only enough head room for cars. Cheers for now...x.
