Update 2024 Cab Ride

[@akrills]

An absolutely wonderful garden railway, it must have taken years to complete it! I simply love the way that the vegetation is so beautifully manicured, which must take hours and hours of your time. A happy 15 minutes spent watching...

[@Landsend-Railroad]

You have hit on a major point, the vegetation is a big factor when it comes to maintenance. The constant pruning and of course fighting the weeds keeps me busy. Thanks for your kind comment..

[@vanrogui4819]

Muito lindo seu jardim, a ferrovia também é linda e tem um trajeto espetacular, só falta uma coisa, uma câmera 4K (2160p), a frente da locomotiva, para qurca definição de imagem seja a que mostra nitidez a beleza do seu jardim e de todo os enfeites. Parabéns

[@Landsend-Railroad]

@@vanrogui4819 Obrigado pelos elogios. Você ficará feliz em saber que acabei de lançar uma câmera GoPro que é capaz de uma resolução melhor que 4K. Quando eu tiver o layout configurado novamente na próxima primavera, gravarei um vídeo mais uma vez e postarei no KZbin. Fique atento.

[@kurtl4761]

Terrific work. The scaling is perfect. If the people in the stations hadn't been absolutely still, I would've through this was a real train ride.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Yes, if only I could make the people move. Some hobbyists have tried, but they always look too mechanized. I appeciate your comment very much. Thank you.

Wonderful! And a cable-car, too... Just seeing this beautiful landscape does me so much good. Thank you, Sir, for sharing with us!

Thank you. I am glad it helps you with the daily stress. It does that for me too. You noticed the cable car, did you also notice the funicular at 9:22. It is new since last year. To see it in detail have a look at my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4fPmqlrjd1rqa8

I have just discovered your channel and watched this video. I can honestly say I have never been so impressed by a model railway. Like the other viewer I had watched several seconds before I realised it wasn't life-size!

I have comment along these lines quite often. Believe me it takes a considerable amount of time to plan, create and maintain the details necsessary to make it all look real. One can never get it perfect, but it pays to try. Thank you for your encouraging note.

Well, Thank you Trevor. You observed that correctly, I do spend a lot of time to get the details right. That is the fun part of it. The maintenance is a bit more tedious.

Amazing additions and great work on the rebuild after the "critters" took out your bridge over the pond. As always, congratulations on one of the best layouts in the hobby of G-Gauge garden trains. Thank you for the video share .

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Peter, your comment is much appreciated and thanks to your unwaivering support. Yes, it is too bad that the truss bridge over the pond had to go. The racoons just would not leave it alone. At least two of the spans found a new home in my rebuild.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Well, Thank you for a really nice comment. One of my videos shows a track plan and the voice-over is explaining it. Of course it is not quite up-to-date, since I did a rebuild of the former pond crossing and because of it the street car line needed an extension. You may have noticed the changes right at the beginning of this video. I am located north of Victoria, BC, Canada

[@Landsend-Railroad]

@@HobbyMoose79 It was very nice of you to respond. I wish you good luck and a lot of enjoyment with the third and possibly last layout. I could not bring myself to putting it all on stilts. For me it is very important to work on the ground to get that sence of realism and to work with real plants in the soil. Not sure how long I can keep it up, I am nearly 90. Your point about the pricing these days is well taken. The industry is going for more and more expensive details, often to the point were handling the rolling stock is causing things to break off. I am just glad I bought much my stuff while the going was not quite as rough.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

I am using a Canon movie camera, model G-40. It is bulky but makes it through the existing track profile. I use the wide angle setting to keep the track in sight when rounding a bend. I have just purchased a GoPro camera, still need to get use to it. My next videos will be putting it to use. The definition is higher, many of the other implications I am not sure of yet.

😊😊 Another great video... I seen some things I haven't seen before... I love the ending it was different.... I do have a question if you can find the time to answer... on the cab ride for the new extension from 4 years ago where it makes the turn around right past the 17 ft trestle,,, on the tree to the right it has a round black object mounted on the tree is this a Wi-Fi camera... if not I would be curious to know what it is I have been wondering about this for 4 years.... 😮❤😂

[@Landsend-Railroad]

I love to read comments like yours. However, you have me puzzled over one of your remarks. In what way is the ending different? And I looked at the video several times in detail and could not find a round, black object mounted on a tree. In any case it is not a Wi-Fi camera. Anything electronic kept outdoor is bound to fail sooner or later. Moisture is the enemy. It is not the rain, it's condensation.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

I finally had a look at the old video. You are very observant. That little black object on the tree trunk is the top cover of a common spray can with a toggle switch mounted in the middle of the flat bottom. I can switch the power on and off to one of the two parallel tracks immediately following. Thus I can use one track as a siding or parking track. What I said earlier about electronics outdoors still goes. This switch is weatherproof. Hope that answers you question. Sorry for taking so long. Cheers.

[@vladimirfortakov9042]

Very impressive! But why didn't the train stop at any station except from the one at the end of the journey??

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Not all trains stop at all stations. Such is the case with real trains. But if you like to see the train stop at smaller stations go to another video of mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2W5qamah8eHors Here you will see the train stop at some stations. I have found that viewers will quit when nothing is moving and a very short stop is unrealistic an any case. There is a practical reason too. I can not keep the camera car in sight at all times, because I do not want to end up in the picture, and an improper stop is worse then none at all. Thanks for thinking it is impressive in spite of the short coming.

I appreciate what you are saying, but do you have any idea howmany times I am fixing damages of the simple knock-down of small items, that get pushed over by bunnies, racoons, neighbors cat and most of all by the birds when they pushoff into flight?

[@rickkephartactual7706]

Does the train whistle sound automatically before going across a crossing? or is it independently controlled by you? Edit: by the way I throughly enjoyed the train ride. Just Awesome!

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Yes, the train whistles automatically when coming to a street crossing. A magnet near the track triggers a reed switch on the engine. Thank you for commenting.

Saudações ao Brasil. Moro no Canadá e passei alguns dias no Rio de Janeiro. É uma cidade linda. A viagem até o pão de açúcar e o corcovado ficará para sempre na minha memória. Obrigado pelo seu comentário.

Where’s the cat?

[@Landsend-Railroad]

We don't have one anymore. And the neighbors cat is camera shy.

[@violinstar5948]

[@Landsend-Railroad]

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Does that mean you liked it?

[@Jjonathanhart]

That's a lot of track.

[@Landsend-Railroad]

It is somewhat over 400 meters.

[@Jjonathanhart]

Wow.

Absolutely beautiful layout and perfection on another level, well done. I am an HO scale model railroader, but this layout is something else 😮😮😮😮

[@Landsend-Railroad]

Well, thank you for the nice words. I have build several HO layouts in my time, but I can tell you when you take to the outdoor it is a different ballgame.

Nothing to do at L E once you get there; you can’t even buy a cup of coffee: you can only buy an expensive Cornish tea which can include coffee. Me? I came and went by bus

[@Landsend-Railroad]

You are talking about a different Landsend. This one is on the Canadian Westcoast, not in Great Brittan.

[@johnlawrence2757]

@@Landsend-Railroad oh, right , ta - bet you can’t get a Cornish cream tea on the Canadian West Coast, not for any price ‘less you get it specially flown over!
