7¼" gauge in the garden

Rolling stock

Introduction

This is probably a bit premature as I don't have a line yet. However I am looking in to building some rolling stock of my own using CAD software on my PC and getting the resultant work laser-cut at a local steel fabricator. This is the way that Ride on Railways produce equipment in 5" gauge; which is what I used on my old line back in England.

I will probably start with a couple of simple wagons I can use in the construction of my railway, for instance tippers or flat-wagons with removable sides and ends.

Passenger-carrying vehicles

As part of the "bundle" when I bought POEM (see the Locomotives page) I got a bogie passenger coach. It is not exactly to my taste (I prefer sit-in not sit-astride coaches) so I may rebuild it using the braked bogies (trucks).

Freight vehicles

none at present

Narrow-minded and proud of it
