Ivy Railway Welcomes The Spring. Lots of springy updates on the line. Minimal Guage Railway.

Well, that was an enjoyable twenty-five minutes Ian, sat watching the video with a cuppa and a biscuit. An interesting visit to the Ivy Railway... Cheers James 🙂👍

[@Elvinley]

Thanks again James!

[@wideyxyz2271]

The drainage Rill makes a really interesting feature.❤💥

[@Elvinley]

Cheers mate!

[@shaunbutler8481]

I've driven past three days a week for the last four years and never realised you were there! I must stop by one day and have a good look!

[@Elvinley]

Come and say hello!

[@susantaylor927]

Great video! Soo interesting with the slate bridges and all the details are beautiful too! The way you use the natural materials is a joy..... And birds song! Lovely seeing the full size steam engine! Thank you for a really enjoyable video.😊

[@Elvinley]

Thanks so much Susan!

[@normg2242]

I love the idyllic mood of the "camp" curve. And I can't get over the fact that the gauge is as narrow as the short side of the tablet I'm watching this on!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks very much! It is amazing that you can run such large stock on such a narrow gauge. You couldn't do it on 5" gauge.

Another very enjoyable video, Ian. I've always enjoyed water features, so combining both water and railways definitely scratches an itch! I love the slate floor by the road, very "tramway-esc"! The removal of the small mound in the yard and replacement with the lamppost, sign and flowers really makes a difference. Looking forward to the next installment!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks very much! It would be nice if the water flowed every day but it only flows when it has been raining heavily for days! Still trying to crack the drainage issues. I thought the slates looked like a tramway too.

[@ggreg2258]

Looks lke it would be a lot of fun----and work!!!

[@Elvinley]

Indeed! It is a lot of both and the work never eases off, even if it requires less digging now.

[@mikego18753]

A world class day out.ha ha.Thanks and thumbs up.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks very much!

[@larsheydecke887]

Thanks a lot Stephen!

[@rottenroads1982]

That is Beyond Miniature Gauge.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks!

[@saltleywsc]

Great update ..love the new water feature !!!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks mate!

[@marcsummerlott3965]

Love to follow keep up the craftsmanship.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot!

[@dh9033]

Lovely setting 😊 ...and what of your wonderful little O gauge shunty layout? That's my favourite inspiration. All the best 😊

[@Elvinley]

Thanks so much! Must do another vid of that one!

[@Gilsreptiles]

I always enjoy your videos👍🚂

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot!

[@amberyooper]

All the little improvements on the line are really starting to add up now. The railway just keeps looking better!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks so much!

[@StephenRogers-w5e]

Some great improvements Ian. At least Keith didn’t have a operating incident this time lol

[@Elvinley]

Thanks mate! No, he is generally very careful.

[@kenattwood8060]

Thank you for sharing your railway with us once again... The work you've put in has certainly improved the appearance. Incidently, have you ever thought of sinking an RSJ into the ground and attaching the bufferstip to it? It would certainly reduce the need for repairs!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot! That sounds like a good plan!

[@47606odin]

I’d be putting a drainage ditch on the outside of the curve so the water runs into it before the track not after running over it

[@Elvinley]

Yes that idea was mentioned earlier and I have taken that advice to a degree. It would mean major work to dig a deep channel but I have made a shallow one that feeds under the track to the deep one now.

[@offthegridwithbert924]

It's a shame the property is limited to how long you can make the railway, would be amazing to have more lines going off to various places, still a lovely little line as it is though with nice scenery off to the side, I plan to build a 12" gauge line once I have my own land soon, 12" allows for some seriously powerful locomotives and rolling stock to be used.

[@Elvinley]

Hope you make some videos of it and put them on KZbin!

[@shedhead00]

Lovely video, the bridges look great. Have you thought of zig zagging the railway up to the house.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot! It would take about five runs as it is much higher than the railway.

[@davidgekler]

Hi, looking good boys, Hey contact Colin Furze and have him do some Tunneling for ya. Make your own "mine" ride! and love your "slate" work!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot! I'd love a proper tunnel.

[@densondirosa4497]

Where is your railway located in the UK…??

[@Elvinley]

South West Wales.

[@davidcook380]

Hi Ian , would it not have been better to dig the gully at the bottom of the moss face , at the moment the water as to go over the track to reach the gully so the rails are always sodden with water , just a thought Sir , David

[@Elvinley]

Good idea David. I may dig one that side as well.

[@mr01steam]

Definitely a sleepy hollow railway.

[@Elvinley]

Cheers!
