"Your railroad starts with a dream." That sounds so romantic

Someday mine will be finished.

This is 11 years old. Time to re-upload it in 1080P or better.

Electric powered track connections are a horrible idea for outdoor garden railroading, especially running long freight on really long track. I prefer battery powered model trainsets.

excellent video. please make more such informative videos

Fun to watch, keep up the good labor of love. You labor, I 😉.

I've always been a o gauge guy but I'm thinking about building a garden railway now.

Sully and I Loved this video! Now we want to make one! Thank you for the tips

Ive started by buying a shoddy battery loco for twenty quid and scratchbuiling a ton of wagons with 3d printed wheels. Track? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

4:51 May I ask, what do you need a pencil for?

Video: “Family hobby” My brother hearing this: “funny how they think I will do garden railroading…” Me, my mother, and my father: “well then you will be very bored won’t you?”

Nice work!

9:25 Why Would You Water The Track Because They All Ready Watered The Road Bed But Why Water It With Electric Track

its too bad i dont have a hobby store near me

THE DAY I WAS BORN!!!!!!!

Problem with the limestone is a breed of shipworm that eats limestone.

I am just waiting for the Spring to arrive !

My childhood in one video

How to buy from india

I like it ,i want Santa Fe model set whear available this

Brilliant. Entertaining and informative.

4:40-5:04 song name pls

Ahh yes i love "old" how to get started model train videos

So glad i find this, looks quite easy to just drop the track down like this, i was afraid i had to use wood and screws lol I've ordered my first set of tracks from lgb With 20x 120cm 19x r2 13x r3 ill hope it will fit in the garden of my new house ill find out in 2 weeks time

Great new video .loads of detail.

Big hauler here! And New Bright Rail King!

Love the east broad top

8:53 this is the fun hobby (and expensive btw)

Marklin and Bachmann tracks are *NOT* suited for outdoor use! They will get rusted in a matter of weeks, if not days.

The alternative is to set things up for a weekend or two's use. The better quality G scale trains have some heft to them; they will be just fine with track laid right in the grass with minimal fiddling with leveling the track other than some very basic adjusting. Use plastic track joiners to hold the sections together and away you go. Run it thru the mulch - snuggle it down into it, spread a little between the rails and pat it down. Once you're done, pick it all up, blow the track free of grass and whatnot or hose it down, put it away, do it again another time. There's a reason to go with large scale - it's not finicky.

It's the tracks and where they lead which is the romance for me. Once, when fishing up in the hills of upstate Pennsylvania, I found remnants of a long ago abandoned railway which I later learned was part of a logging operation in the early-1900s. What I stumbled upon was sections of old track, raised rail beds and the path which meandered along the course of a stream. Nearby were pieces of a discarded cast iron stove and my imagination spun the scene from what I'd found. Loggers, lumbermen seated around a table at a rail spur's terminus in a glade eating their breakfast or lunch, dinner perhaps, some one hundred years ago. My father and his hunting buddies had never encountered the remains of this rail spur and they congratulated me on my find.

About how they used a drain pipe to make a tunnel, can there be materials like that to make a bridge

Idk if there's a hobby shop near me :(

What scale is this?

What year is this from? I'm guessing early 90s?

I’d like to have a backyard with trains like this. When I have parties I’d have them run around and deliver beer to people Or soda if there’s kids That’d be hilarious

Outdoor HO scale would be great if it existed. G Scale Sushi Tins are way too expensive for a guy that hasn't got a House to install it in. Cheers

If you are building something this small or similar size, do yourself a big favor and build a raised bed to put it on. You gain it being easier to operate on as you are not at ground level. My layout is only 16" but it makes a huge difference not having to get on my knees to put things on or off the track.

Was this in the 1990's or something? Because it's kinda hard to tell.

GTA

i made my own mini buildings

GET ONE! lol that scared me

Is that 4' diameter curve?

I have had g scale trains for 2 years and now starting to build, an home know if the bachmann brass track screws will hold up well.

Looks like a video from the way 90s. Layout turned out great. I wonder if it is still there or expanded.

How much

Short and concise. I will go and buy a Prospector!!

... NO !!! Not all the different track manufactures are interchangable !!! The problem is mostly w/ the switches, but also the track. It is not the width of the track ... it is about the "depth" of the track rail. The Merklin track and switches are not as tall on the rail height, therefore the "flanges" on the wheels bottom out on the "ties" and can lead to a de-railment. Especially, on the "frogs" on the swiches or crossings. I would stay w/ "LGB" or "REA" when possible. When buying "Used" track inspect the "inside" of the "outside" rail on the curved sections as that is were they wear due to the Medal/Steel wheels rubbing as the train goes around the curve. (And I've seen many worn out curved sections ... especially on a lay-out w/ lots of hours of running time, like in a store display ...) So ... Merklin rolling stock can run on "LGB" & "REA" ...but ... "LGB" rolling stock can have problems on Merklin track ...

You know, this video's instructions can apply to gauges larger than 45mm/gauge-1. Larger gauges just need more space. Although when you get to a certain size gauge or larger or if you run RC (either battery or live steam), you don't need a power pack since the locomotives are all powered internally.
