Real Steam for the Garden Railway | New Junction

[@BritishRail60062]

I have to be honest here. That is one of the most realistic steam locomotive models I have seen with a working smoke generator. Nice work to all involved.

[@nj2033]

LOVE the way the steam puffs matches the sound file!!!!

[@NewJunction]

Its good isn't it!

[@JintySteam1]

Model Railways have been around for many years and still companies are coming up with new ways to impress us! Its amazing to think that the future might hold.

[@Simonize41]

My oh my, what can be achieved in modelling these days. I’d love to see what could be done with a diesel equivalent; image that magical double Deltic exhaust!😈Nice to see you back by the way. All the best.

[@NewJunction]

will have to give that ago! ;-)

@@NewJunction Go for it!😃👍🏻

[@UKRailsandMore]

Wow this is a fantastic model Richard and the steam is amazing. You have reminded me of why I couldn’t really afford 0 gauge right now but certainly looks great and the garden layout does not disappoint. All the best and thanks for sharing, Paul

[@NewJunction]

Ha I'm in the same club, O gauge definitely takes more months of saving up. 😭

[@MDHGames]

Having a garden in the railway is one thing, but having live steam? Who could say no to that! Watching the video fully now, your A4 looks really impressive!

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

The live steam really does add another element of realisim along with the weathering and DCC sound nice job Richard.- Nicholas.

Thanks Nicholas!

Cheers chap, they do great things at TRS

[@martinpattison4018]

I could build my whole layout for the price of one of them. Really impressive. Jenny Kirk has an OO with smoke. Good luck and best wishes to all. Martin. (Skint in Thailand)

[@TERRYBARTLETTRAILMAN28]

Nice touch to No 9 there and the 37 looks stunning with the Maroon coaches now No 9 can run around the garden with them with a headboard of a named train

[@NewJunction]

we shall see! :D

[@StBlazeyModelWorld]

Loved that. It made me think of my very old Triang 060 tank, that heated up oil to create the same effect. That was long before the days of health & safety of course lol, but I still have that loco and the burner still works with sewing machine oil

[@dustinpendergast]

I like that it’s real steam and not oil like most HO/OO systems. Leaves the layout clean!

[@NewJunction]

Yes no more oily mess

[@graememorrison5456]

Yes been looking forward to this 👍

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Graeme!

[@ausfoodgarden]

Now that's the model train I'd like to have. Sadly at 700 quid for the base unit plus probably as much again for the sound and steam, if I bought one and my wife found out you'd see my name in the obituary column. I do have plans to get the TRS system at some stage though for a OO steam loco if I can earn enough dosh. They are the bee's knees of smoke/steam systems for sure. Great to see an update and as for the guy who said your tracklaying was a disgrace ... It could do with a tidy-up, but early days and outdoors so it's all much harder than many think. Cheers and more updates, please 👍

[@2H80vids]

I would imagine that could be rather impressive on a freezing cold winter's morning.🥶 I must say though, not too impressed with the sound card. The sound, and the smoke effects, seem way too fast compared to the speed of the loco.

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Well, Richard... that is definitely a crown jewel in the collection. My HO BR18 steams and is in unison with the sound effects, but the atomizer concept is quite new to me, and very brilliant. Cheers! (Glad to see you posting again!)

[@NewJunction]

Cheers chap, you'll have to get yours out on a lice stream. (That sounds wrong haha)

[@robd2184]

That’s a very convincing effect ! I’m a little alarmed if you get a derailment it’ll need a parachute from up there !

[@alanmargalan5921]

It's a fantastic A4 Regards youv'e got there you must be so happy. Little tip get your track level wouldn't like to see your A4 take a header at the bottom of your garden Regards Alan

[@thurstablelane7567]

A very interesting video. I thought about getting one of these A4's (This was when they were £750) and thought actually can I get a Brass steam loco for less than £750, and I did, I bought a connoisseur models brass kit of an LNER J68 for £310 in the end, I got the loco and 7 wagons & 2 coaches for the same amount, all a mix of plastic & brass kits.

[@musoseven8218]

Looks very good, thanks for sharing. I'd suggest using either RO filtered rain water or deionised water for longevity.

[@davidstrains4910]

Good work there Richard it looks very nice

[@NewJunction]

Cheers David!

[@gordonhumphris5420]

Fantastic job and great video Richard. It looks great, sounds brilliant but let’s see it attempt to pull that lovely rake of Gresleys the 37 was hauling around. I’d like Hattons to see that and respond to the performance issues which I know you suspect are not that good. It looked to struggle on the loop without anything behind it. You very honest in all your reports so ld like to see one on the Hattons A4. Cheers mate and keep up the excellent work, I’m not a Hornby fan but love the magazine show on KZbin.

[@jazzman1626]

Wow that’s a great amount of steam! Even outside from a distance. Whatever it cost, it’s well worth it imho. Excellent garden layout too btw.👍.

[@TheScotsalan]

Its a pity it needs distilled water. Adding a little mosquito repellent would be a great addition for summer evenings in the garden 😂

Blimey, that is impressive! I know what you mean about the steam not showing up on camera though, I have the same problem when I make my live steam videos 😆

[@RobA500]

I was impressed by the shots you took in your garden but the demo shot was something else, it truly is a great effect. As a note though I would say you'd be better to use pure water like deionised water to save any contaminants causing damage through long term use.

[@NewJunction]

[@lapiswake6583]

Awesome video. Unfortunately large locos such as this are out of my price range, hence I'm modelling a branch line (nothing bigger than a GWR manor or a 37, unless heavy freight (so I'd allow a 72xx or 28xx/2884)). I've actually been making quite a bit of progress with my 0 gauge recently. I've bought and weathered 2 dapol 16t mineral wagons from my local shop, who have 2 more in stock for me to buy at a later date, plus a parkside ps30 kit which I'll be building in the next few weeks and weathering to blend in with the rest, bringing my wagon total to 20 at current. I've also bought more decking planks to more than double the length available to me, plus some preservative which I'll be applying now the weather is good for at least a few days, plus then adding roofing felt which I picked up at Wickes earlier. I'm also thinking about wiring the track, think I'll use a HM6000 to control it plus some 24/0.2 wire as a bus wire joined to 7/0.2 droppers using brass terminal blocks, one per length of track. The only problem so far is the availability/price of track, as I only have about 3 yards on top of what I already had out since september, and I've extended the layout by about 10 yards. Now the lionheart mk1s are out, I'm gonna think about getting 3 as a second passenger train (the first being an autocoach), although maybe a 3rd locomotive might be advisable first (I'm thinking a 57xx).

[@NewJunction]

Sounds good that!

[@HeartfiliaRailway]

Looking forward to seeing how your garden railway is progressing Richard! One day I will have my own garden to do the same, but for now I have to stick to OO. :) Also, the A4 is beautiful, I hope that Hattons do them in LNER liveries so when I do get my own garden, I can get one in Garter Blue :)

[@mattp1337]

Keeping my fingers crossed that we'll see something about your indoor New New junction layout soonish, though times being what they are...yeah, probably not. Just talking us through your design plans and process would be entertaining, even if there's no specifics or physical reveal yet. But I'm sure it's agony for you, too :) Anyway, greetings from Canada.

Great video as ever richard. It's very impressive and bespoke work that TRS trains do for these models and very interesting to see it in action. I'm guessing that they only do this to DCC locos due to having to program the function to work on the loco? Keep up the good work and stay safe James

[@evercreechjunction81]

Hi, Richard I always enjoy your great content, one of your videos helped me out with unboxed rolling stock, which I acquired the Warley stock box. This helped me with a recent house 🏡 move & the ability to identify what stock I had in each box with out the need to dig down in miles of bubble wrap. With the recent house move (from a flat to a house) I will be building a purpose built outhouse in the garden, as I am unable to stand up in the loft. I can see that it looks like Mike has rubbed off on you, with you getting into O Gauge, I will probably look at building an O Gauge garden railway 🛤 on my next house move in the future, but for now it's OO Gauge in the new outhouse. Happy 😊 Modelling Phil 😀 PS what video editing software do you use for your videos and Hornby Magazines.

[@GrrMeister]

*Brilliant - suggest Distilled water to fill with.*

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Richard, Super loco and the Steam(water vapour) adds a lot to the realism of it but at £1000 pounds (engine + sound decoder+ smoke generator) it is an expensive locomotive by any means but seeing the Class 37 creep up on you and having seen some American HO Diesels with smoke will you add a TRS smoke generator to it so the modern!!! loco's do not feel left out. Looking forward to seeing how you are progressing with the build but in this the track was very bumpy was it just there without fixing down? Keep safe and well. Cheers Robert.

[@naptonhill5510]

That is extremely impressive 😲

[@NewJunction]

What about the A4? 🤣

[@PaulSmith-pl7fo]

Hi Richard. Very impressive. The "steam" was quite visible in your video. I was a little concerned in the TRS video that "steam" was escaping from between the funnel and the body of the loco (did they fix this before returning it to you?). You didn't mention how much you paid (or what another customer would pay) TRS to fit the "steam" generator (not the sound decoder) for you.

[@IanCawthorne]

Very impressive!

[@NewJunction]

Thanks

[@samthorpe4532]

Its great to see that we've finally began to catch up to the germans in terms of steam generation on large scale models. Albeit be it through modification instead of been factory fitted. But 2-3k for a kit is a gross overestimation. Maybe if you paid someone to build and paint it for you, but a finney kit with a set of wheels and decent motor will only set you back around £800-£900. With that you can also guarantee that bits won't fall off of it.

[@NewJunction]

I should have said, brought as ready to run. 😊

No worries. I just didn't want anyone to be discouraged from kitbuilding. The model does look great by the way.

[@mtty1988]

Sound questions in n OO sound is not to scale ie when train pulls a way the sound is the same loudness in 0 is it any better? Can you hear it in the distance more like coming towards you going away? for whistle can u get long short and the not to good one when not up to pressure or water in the whitest when pulled to early . Can you add realistic carriage sounds as well the click clack wheal screech as the loco sound disperses. Also in 0 as it’s bigger wbay of her features things can be added like steam to make it look sound more real Lastly have u added a light to replicate the fire box and directional lights. Can in 0 u turn of the rear lights (not show red) as it’s coupled to a rake and habe the red light on last coach. Will there be a new junction in this like or any scenic sections like in a shed say a station or depot.

ugh I wouldn't use bottled water (aka Mineral Water), it'll leave mineral limescale residue on your atomisers. You'll be better off using Distilled or "De-ionised" water, which is pure H2O. Wilkos or Sainsburys will sell you "2.5L De-Ionised Water" for a pound or two.. likely cheaper than still mineral water! (You'll find it in the car supplies section) "distilled" water is not "still" water..

Bingo!
