A few drone pictures of my garden railway.
This was formerly the blog of The Sandwell Valley Railway which was a G Scale garden railway in West Bromwich, England. I now live in Bromsgrove and I'm building a new garden railway, The Wychbold and Stoke Prior Railway.

Filming has begun on a new Thomas and friends video starring Devious Diesel
The peace and tranquility of the Wychbold and Stoke Prior Garden Railway is about to be rudely disturbed.
Thomas and his friends do not know what is about to hit them!
There's a new kid on the block, and he's mean.

A Busy Scene on the Railway
Emily is awaiting her departure time from the terminus station.
Meanwhile James, with his splendid new red coaches is pulling into the other platform.
Thomas with Annie and Clarabel arrived a few minutes earlier and he has now pulled forward to the head-shunt where is waiting for Toby to clear the run round loop.

Platforms
When it's complete the railway will have 4 stations and 8 platforms. So far 2 platforms have been completed and another 2 are under construction.

| This is Stoke Prior Station |
And this is Brookside Station. I am making the structure of each platform out of 11mm PVC soffit board.
 |
| The method of construction can be seen in this photograph. The side walls have been screwed to the top piece. |
The platforms are then clad with 3mm foamex board, scored and painted.. The platform surfaces are sprayed with textured paint.

Wychbold Station
Day: 961
Wychbold Station is in the middle of the single track branch line. Initially it will have a passing loop and a single siding.
Yesterday I laid the slab footings for the station area and today I have cut and laid the track.
