Garden Railway Tour! - The Pevensey Light Railway - G Scale Outdoor Model Railway Layout

[@adam_fordham]

Great to see the g scale railway back, it looks fantastic and I love the back story to it as well, every railway layout should have a backstory, and the locos and the stock really suit the railway as well 😀

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Adam! I do like creating fictional history and backstories for layouts too. It just makes them feel a bit more real and it sometimes helps justify why certain decisions have been made. Hopefully it won't be too long before the next garden railway video! Thanks for watching 😃

[@willbreckinridge8010]

I've always thought garden railways looked fun, and as relatively simple as this layout is, it looks great! I love all the flowers and little bushes; they make it look so natural. Nice Video!😃

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It's definitely from a normal model railway. You have to deal with all the elements and maintain it just to keep things running. In a lot of way it's more like running a real railway but that's part of the appeal! And yes, having all the bushes and flowers around it too really does make it feel much more natural too! Thanks for watching 😃

[@paulisnotonfire]

Enjoyed the tour of the garden railway. I really liked and appreciated that you've put thought into it's backstory. Cheers

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks! A good back story makes a layout so much more interesting to me and it's great to hear that others are interested in my fictional history too. Thanks for watching 😃

[@garylaker4335]

It’s the back story that brings it to life ! Great work, looking forward to the progress 👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Gary, I do like building up a good back story for my layouts, perhaps I should do these sorts of videos for my other layouts too. Thanks for watching 😃

[@secretlifeofscottthehamste4633]

I love the g scale, glad to see it again!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Me too! I'm hoping to make a few more videos over the Summer assuming the nice weather holds up 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

[@IsMiseStiùbhart]

This looks like a bonnie wee railway. Your videos are always high quality, but this one in particular is fantastic - shows off just how charming this wee railway is. Love the fictional history as well! :D

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks! I have to admit it's nice filming outside for a change and there's lots of new camera angles to explore. I love building up all the fictional history stuff too, it just makes layout's seem that much more real! Thanks for watching 😃

[@tagsdm]

Charming Little Railway would be the understatement of the day, I'd say. Disappearing in and out of the foliage is great. Creates the illusion of having traveled somewhere. I'd sure like to see more of this one.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks! That was definitely my aim with the railway - and in fact all my layouts. I like to be able to believe they go somewhere, so having it disappear round corners and between plants was the best way of achieving that. Thanks for watching 😃

[@DanielsModels]

Great video. I love the history of the pevensey light railway section!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Daniel! I do like creating fictional backstories for layouts, it makes them feel a bit more real. Thanks for watching 😃

[@ChetNotJet]

I agree my only issue is the fact the steam train came from the tallyclyn as that doesn’t make much sense

[@jacobchattell7435]

Love the video. Keep up your amazing work

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Jacob, glad you enjoyed it. I've got some very exciting videos in the works so stay tuned! Thanks for watching 😃

[@railfanpolska]

Nice footage 👍 Cheers 🖐️🙂

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@stasiabotwright]

Waves from near Eastbourne.👋 Fab video.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Ah fantastic! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😃

[@V3xxe]

I absolutely love this. You have me wanting to build a garden railway myself now haha

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Haha, that's great to hear! Although I warn you it's definitely a challenge but it can be lots of fun too. Thanks for watching 😃

[@railway187]

Wonderful railway 👍 I am looking forward to the rebuild of Castle Halt station building, the introduction of two restored locomotives and all other great plans of the preservation society. 👍🙂

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yes there's some big projects just around the corner. I just have to get on with them now... ahem, I mean the Preservation Society does 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

[@harrys_railway]

Amazing video ❤ would love to see more on this! And great backstory to the pevenesy light railway

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Harry, I'm definitely hoping to make a few more videos out in the garden over the Summer. Glad you enjoyed my fictional history too! Thanks for watching 😃

[@benstrainsandthings]

A nice little railway you have!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Ben, it's definitely good fun to have trains trundling around while the weather is nice. Thanks for watching 😃

[@loispadgett6306]

What fun love the back story you made and the sound affix of sea birds in the back ground. Looking forward to seeing what you do on it this summer. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thank Lois, it's definitely going to be a busy Summer out in the garden. Hopefully the weather holds out here 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

[@pannier1366]

It's back! Looking forward for more content around the garden railway!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It's been a while hasn't it! I'm looking forward to making more videos on the garden railway too. It's taken a bit of a backseat lately but I think with a little bit of attention it could be a really nice little railway. Thanks for watching 😃

[@pannier1366]

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Exiting! You said in the video about expanding your fleet, I've been looking at IP Engineering for a while for a garden railway I'm planning as they make good loco and rolling stock kits with great prices, should be worth a look

[@jackrumseycentralrailway6764]

I got the french engine a year ago and I just converted to battery powered. Your loco is smoother than mine.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

That's interesting, I would have thought converting it to battery power would make it more smooth, being less susceptible to stalling. Mine must be close to 20 years old now and still going strong. Thanks for watching 😃

[@EliotJohnson]

I like your narration! Nice video!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, I did try to go for a more documentary style video in this one as if the railway was a real place. Thanks for watching 😃

[@WesternSignalman]

Loving the history of the line, most import part of any layout in my opinion, it’s not convincing if it doesn’t have a reason to be there.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks! I agree and I think part of building a model world is also building out its back story too. It’s certainly something I find enjoyable so perhaps I’ll share more of my imagined history in the future for the other layouts. Thanks for watching 😃

[@linkdancer3890]

I have a name for the diesel locomotive if you don’t mind, the name “hussler” seems appropriate since it hauls freight for the railway. The idea of giving names to locomotives is personally a charming feature to a railway cause it shows the respect and care taking the workers have for the locomotives that run the railway non-stop.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Ooh nice idea! I'll definitely keep that in mind as I do want to name all the locos eventually once the railway has been tidied up a bit. Thanks for watching 😃

[@duncan1945]

Just loved that video. Very interesting and nice to watch. I take it it’s 12v ac it runs on ? How did it run so smoothly on dirty track or did you clean it first ? I would love a garden railway like that. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 All the best Duncan

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Hey Duncan, glad you enjoyed it. The layout runs on DCC and I did clean the rails in this instance as the layout hadn't been used over the Winter. That said, I probably won't need to clean them for a while now as the locos are pretty good at picking up power even when the rails get a little bit of grime on them. Generally I give them a very quick clean about once a month and focus on any sections where locos are struggling in particular. Thanks for watching 😃

[@KennysChocolateMilk]

I wonder if Thomas will visit?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It's a narrow gauge line so the Skarloey engines would probably be a better fit. But if someone wants to provide me with the Bachmann large scale Thomas I'll happily run it 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

[@fredtedstedman]

send out the weedkiller-train ! Love the red engine , French ?? . thought for the future - genetically engineered G-Scale plants , so you won't get overgrown .

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Haha! I quite like the overgrown look in some places - it reminds me of the Talyllyn when the preservation society was just getting started. Yes I think the steam loco is based on a French engine - it's made by LGB are most of their stuff seems to be continental in theme. Thanks for watching 😃

[@fredtedstedman]

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I know Talyllyn and used to live near Welshpool and Llanfair LR. ( which I base my "Magic Train" Oe stuff on .)

[@therealdeal6846]

Them carriages need people..just sying everything else 100% amazing and keep the railwsy open dont allow the grass to out grow your hsrdwork!!!!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

The roofs are sealed shut now so that's unlikely. Figures in this scale don't tend to be cheap either so it would be a big expense for a layout that only gets run on odd occasions when the weather is nice. Thanks for watching 😃
