Landsend Railroad 2014. A Garden Train Layout.

[@caryprice6445]

What an amazing garden railroad!!! The best I've seen! I can appreciate the painstaking work that goes into this, you must have a small army doing the upkeep and maintenance. I just posted an update on my backyard railroad (CRGR Summer 2019) even after 7 years of work still no where close to what you've achieved- Great work and thanks for sharing !

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Thank you for your comments. I had a look at your layout. It looks very promising. I particularly like how you use the natural slope and the lay of the land. A lot of work has gone into it already. Keep working on it. I like to see it when it s finished.

[@Statek63]

@@Landsend-Railroad these railroads are never really "finished" - aren't they ? :-)

[@Landsend-Railroad]

@@Statek63 TRUE! That not only includes changes and improvement I may want to make, but also modifications that mother Natur, with its weather and wildlife, is constantly performing. Not all of which I am in agreement with.

Amazing layout. I've watched this video a few times. I love it. I am just beginning to build a garden layout that I hope is half as nice as this one.

[@bash5995]

Wow, you could easily be in the movie making business for the big screen. Your talent is on a whole different level.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

It's very nice of you to say so. Thank you. All I use is an ordinary Canon camcorder and a lot of patience.

An amazing piece of layout buildings love the Swiss bits travelled the Bernina express 5 years ago brought back some wonderful memories

[@Landsend-Railroad]

I have been on the Bernina Line to Tirano 7 years ago, and also rode almost the entire network of the RhB. I know what you mean about pleasant memories. Thank you for commenting

Watching it time and again, making me feel like a miniaturised myself and riding the small world of trains journeys

[@Landsend-Railroad]

You caught the idea of what I am trying to portrait a small world where there is peace and tranquility. If only we can submerse ourselves and feel small. Thanks for your comments.

[@bred1921]

You are a great artist!! Wonderful

[@Landsend-Railroad]

I don't know about artist. I see myself more as a diligent worker. But thanks for your endorsement.

[@ColumbusGardenRailwaySociety]

Fantastic work. Your layout is an inspiration.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Having planned, build and maintained this layout for many years as an individual, it is in deed an honor to be an inspiration to a Garden Railway Society. If you are interested to see more of my layout, have a look at my Channel: Trains and More I thank you for the words of encouragement. You are located in Columbus, Ohio, I take it? I would love to see what you are doing.

[@jimprior180762]

I love watching the Landsend videos. Your imagination and attention to detail are second to none. How do you find the time to do it? And where do you find the room to stand while tending the plants to perfection!? It's wonderful.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Thanks for the positive comments. You may have noticed there are roads all over the model landscape. They are mostly for my benefit, so I can get to the hard-to-reach locations. Also the track is very sturdy. With a solid base under it, I can step on it. It is still awkward, but with a bit of gymnastics I manage.

[@HappyHands.]

One of my favorite GR's

[@Landsend-Railroad]

"Happy Hands" I can relate to that. Thanks for the comment.

[@vivekb1557]

Simply awesome.........😊👍

[@tonyrobertson498]

Oh to have a couple of those White Pass shovel nosed locos on my G Scale railway

[@Landsend-Railroad]

That"s exactly how I felt when I decided to scratch-build the couple you see in the video.

[@deltatrains]

Another great video. That unfortunate man in the car accident by the side of the road. Each year he gets hurt. He never seems to learn his lesson to not come out of your workshop because he will eventually, and always, end up on the side of the road, injured and needing the help of that wonderful medical staff and emergency personnel.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

He should get his car fixed. The wheels keep coming off! But he has a very good plastic surgeon.

[@claricesouza1207]

Simplesmente! Perfeito.

[@josephkatzin683]

just seen your amazing garden railroad, would like to know how you power your trains. and do you ever get snow?

[@gohawks3571]

It's me again; I love this so much! How do you deal with weather? It's making me dream about doing this. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing ✌️

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Stop dreaming and just get started. The weather can be a problem, but not a mayor one. Everything is made to stand the weather. A light rain even helps matters, it improves the electrical pick-up. A heavy rain can cause flooding - not so good. It also splatters dirt onto the track. The trains are water proof. Even a moderate snow fall can be plowed using the trains. The worst thing is a frost with ice on the rails, nothing moves when that happens. A wind storm is a pest. It brings all kinds of debris down from the trees. Cleaning, pruning and fixing wild animal damage are a constant activity. Thanks for taking an interest.

[@gohawks3571]

@@Landsend-Railroad Thank you, that is helpful knowledge! My yard needs a lot of fixing up, but now I have goals 👍 Okay, need to stop watching the videos now 😂

[@The_Holy_Hamburglar]

Where did you get the buildings for your RR, did you make them?

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Most buildings are from POLA. They are made of weather resistant plastic and come as kits. Some of my buildings I scatch built using waterproof Plywood and tar papier for roof coverings..

[@pierre-alainorange7126]

😭😭👍👏👏♥️♥️♥️

[@RoxanneM-]

How do you keep the little plants alive?!

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Since everything is out in the garden mother nature takes care of things. Only occasional watering is needed in the summer and then there is of course the trimming and weeding.

[@nateangel02]

Great video. Next time use stabilizer for the camera so it wont wiggle

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Nate, I do use a stabilizer, but you have to appreciate I am not always on solid footing. Fighting your balance and the camera is a bit tricky. Also, did you know, by using the stabilizer you lose some of the picture quality, because the camera is cropping. The up-loading reduces the picture sharpness considerably anyways. There would not be much left.

[@barbaralcharles]

There appears to be a man soliciting the services of a prostitute at .15.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Let's assume he is just enjoying the view. I will admit the shortage of fabric is a little suspicious.
