IVY RAILWAY Loop line completion. 7 1/4" Minimal Gauge Railway

[@StanFerris]

Great job sorting out that sharp turn at the end of the passing loop!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks Stan - it should have been obvious after the same issue on the other set of points but I never learn. I was convinced the gauge was ok but tightening it about 2 mil did the trick.

[@StanFerris]

Thanks for filming the installation.

[@Elvinley]

@@StanFerris No problem Stan - nice to share the (lack of) knowledge!

[@neilmatthews5139]

Another great installment! It gets better and better Ian

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot Neil!

[@johnrideout6907]

Really enjoy your videos...cant believe you manage to cram so much in to the space you have!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks John! The railway was just meant to be an up and back with no points and just one engine and shed!

[@frankthornton2269]

Fascinating as always Ian - Love following the progress of your Railway - Keep em coming :-)

[@Elvinley]

Thanks Frank! I will do!

[@scottmitchell1974]

Thanks for sharing! It continues to be a fascinating follow. If I ever follow through with my retirement backpacking trip through the UK, I'd love to make this part of the itinerary.

[@Elvinley]

That would be excellent Scott!

[@stephenrogers2648]

I’m pleased you decided to make the passing loop big enough for two coaches, I think you might of regretted it if you hadn’t. Get well soon.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks mate! Yeah I was relieved it worked as originally planned. I will definitely have to do more trimming to get the loco round facing the other way as it leans on the side of the seat.

[@larsheydecke887]

Fantastic 👍👍👍

[@Elvinley]

Thanks lars!

[@marcmurrell8827]

Like others I commend you on your effort and look forward to the turntable it should be excellent like the rest of the railway

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot Marc! Hope so - it is being made to be very heavy duty as the loco is very heavy indeed.

[@marcmurrell8827]

@@Elvinley I can imagine those scamps look heavy as well as your battery one and I'm not gonna mention the live steam one lol

[@Elvinley]

@@marcmurrell8827 Yes all pretty weighty! The Scamp is the lightest of the three and the steam the heaviest.

[@davidcann4329]

Absolutely superb, great effort as always, I find your videos so educational and inspirational, pointwork is not an easy thing to put together in any scale and you manage to resolve any running issues pretty quickly. Looking forward to the next episode, take care and hope you feel better soon.

[@Elvinley]

Thankyou David! Much appreciated! Yes points are a pain but only one set to do now!

[@christopherbrown3695]

Fantastic achievement, can’t wait for the turntable! Hope the throat is ok?

[@Elvinley]

Thanks Christopher - still feeling ropey. The turntable will be featured in the next Ivy update.

[@saltleywsc]

Lot of P way work going on !! looking good !

[@Elvinley]

Thanks Merv! Getting there now. Not too much more to do!

[@csongorvarga]

Found your channel a few episodes ago, I love the setting and how you managed to squeeze in the railway to such a challenging terrain. But it all looks good and runs superb. The line is on the top or the bottom of your railway?

[@Elvinley]

Thanks so much! The line is at the top end, near the drive entrance. There is a track plan at the start of the last vid to make it easier to understand.

[@tamarmolerick3814]

Enjoyable as always

[@Elvinley]

Cheers!

[@thomaspickles9058]

its looking really impressive! cant wait to see the turntable put in. have you considered getting a tinkerbell or is Elizabeth more suitable?

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot. I have been working on the turntable today even though I feel ill - very silly! I'd love a Tinkerbell but it is way beyond what I could afford.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Brilliant

[@Elvinley]

Cheers Widey!!

[@JohnJohnson-cn9fh]

great job,nice one..jpj

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot John!

[@twkolejofil]

Will the sleepers treatment be sufficient only from the top? Or were they treated with some tar oil from all the sides before installation? This video is extraordinarily quiet, I am worried for my ears when the ads start 😬

[@Elvinley]

Oh no not ads! Yes I try to keep the levels quite low and as even as poss but yes that is an issue. The sleepers have mainly been soaked but not all. They are easy to replace with pallet wood. BTW I hope they don't put ads in the middle. My channel isn't monetised.

[@twkolejofil]

@@Elvinley Fortunately, no ads - my ears are saved 😋

[@Elvinley]

@@twkolejofil Ah that's good then!

[@davidcook380]

Another Fantastic Video , BTW What's your name

[@Elvinley]

Cheers David - I'm Ian.

[@johnnybuss5637]

Extend the lane, it's a little short.

[@Elvinley]

The lane?
