A TRIP AROUND THE NEW GARDEN RAILROAD

[@S7EVE_P]

Really impressive track build and someone has some landscaping skills too, very nice. I hope the uploads resume, I really enjoyed this👍🚝

[@cbt1960]

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the trip. We plan more uploads next month so stay tuned😊👍👍👍

This is the most IMPRESSIVE train layout I have EVER seen... DAM GOOD JOB.

[@cbt1960]

Thanks I appreciate the compliment!!

This is fantastic! And what a peaceful, relaxing tour of the garden. I think your stone walls and trestles are fantastic. The ballast looks incredible and the trackwork flows perfectly. I'm super impressed by the banked curves, too! Honestly, sitting back and relaxing--just watching the train ahead--is so calming. Thank you for a very enjoyable tour on a fabulous railroad!

[@cbt1960]

Thank you very much for the compliment. I’m happy you enjoyed the video. I’ve done a little more work on the railroad since then. Check it out on A trip around the garden railroad two video. Thanks for watching!

This is a work of art! My son and I love watching your videos! Thank you for sharing all of this with the world via KZbin. It’s truly a sight to behold.

[@cbt1960]

Wow, thank you!😃👍👍👍

This was so neat! The detail is amazing. Takes me back to my grade-school days with my HO-scale train that I set up on a plywood table and built paper mache mountains and a lake of painted glass for a lake. I'm curious if the tracks here are connected to the cool little gravel bed designed for them, and if so, how? Anyway, it's a great video, and it looks like a fun project. Well done!

[@cbt1960]

Thanks im glad you enjoyed the video. And yes the tracks are now completely built so check out my other videos. I think you’ll enjoy them.😃👍👍👍

This is a beautiful garden railway with beautiful details. I'm not a fan of landscapes with a lot of stones (although my garden railway is also a stone desert with a lot of concrete due to too few plants), but I'm enthusiastic about the charisma. good job done.

[@cbt1960]

Thanks for the comment. Over the course of time I’m intending to place more plants and landscaping along with a few buildings and a track into the covered patio. As you know with model railroads in any scale they are rarely completed. But that’s part of the fun!

[@kellcash6800]

Real cool. The super elevation on the curves is a nice touch.

[@cbt1960]

Thanks Kell, it definitely helps the cars track better.

Chris - Absolute awesome job ! You did a wonderful job creating your railroad. Believe me when I tell you that I have seen Class 1 railroad tracks where the cross-level wasn't as good as yours . Your rolling stock doesn't rock back and forth from side to side ! GREAT JOB OLE BUDDY

[@cbt1960]

Thanks Tim, that means a lot coming from someone who spent most of your life building and maintaining the real thing.

[@robertrussell2166]

Track work is excellent, very smooth

[@cbt1960]

Thanks, I use gray paver base for the ballast and it hold pretty well. Thanks for watching.

[@2quintly]

Nice layout. Would have liked to see the whole train at some point. Lookin' good.

[@cbt1960]

Thanks for the compliment. I future videos I’ll definitely include the train!

[@westrain2]

Nice garden nice layout love the the rocks

[@cbt1960]

Thanks I appreciate the compliment. The rock’s definitely make it easier to control weeds. And I too like the way they look. I’m going to upload another video soon with more plants that we’ve put in. Thanks for watching.

[@peteshoulders1]

wow well done there

[@cbt1960]

Thank you, it’s a work in progress.

[@phillipstrine3860]

Chris, a beautiful piece of art. The detail is impeccable. Really enjoyed the video.

[@cbt1960]

Many thanks Phil

Hello from Kansas🇺🇸

[@cbt1960]

Hello from south Alabama! Thanks for watching.

[@friendlypiranha774]

WOW, what a lovely railroad you have built there, Chris. That super-elevation is really effective and all your trestles are so well integrated. Quick question: how much track (length) have you used? Many thanks from South Africa.

[@cbt1960]

Thanks for the compliment. It’s been a lot of fun designing and building it. I’m still working on a little more track and landscaping. I’ll put out another video when I’m done. Thanks for watching.

[@cbt1960]

So far there is 240 feet of track down with another 40 or so left to build into the sun room.

[@friendlypiranha774]

@@cbt1960 Thanks for the reply. Enjoy your railroad... It is really lovely.

[@deepsouthmotorcaradventure5999]

Looks great chris

[@cbt1960]

Thanks 👍

What sort of camera did you use for this video? And how small was it too?

[@cbt1960]

It’s my iPhone. I just set it on the locomotive and let it go. The only problem is the camera is offset from the centerline of the tracks. Thanks for riding along! Please subscribe!
