Wettington and Mahawatu Rwy
The Wettington and Mahawatu Railway Company
A G-scale narrow-gauge garden railroad, vaguely based on a New Zealand prototype The Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company that ran within a mile of here, was new Zealand's only major private railroad, built on 3'6", and was based on mostly US equipment.
Wettington and Mahawatu Rwy site preparation
The Wettington and Mahawatu Railway site was already excavated to roughly level, but was pretty much a wasteland.
TranzTrack G scale transfer table staging
[this page coming soon - the staging is built]
W&MR construction
The W&MR is being built as a raised vegetable garden, to aid resale value. The beds are raised using locking concrete blocks.
W&MR transfer table
I have built a six track transfer table for G-gauge trains.
It is based on two doors from Trash Palace, a local garbage recycle centre. Old doors are cheap, rigid, light and pre-sealed.
Locking concrete blocks
I recommend using interlocking concrete landscaping blocks to build garden beds.
