[@eileenfitzgerald7612]

Wow, amazing! How wonderful, I love it! I can't amagine how much work went into building that!

The 5 inch gauge 10 wagons are the best. Love the tales of them trundling along like the old LMS goods trains

[@Rule1ModelRailways]

Loved it, to think of all that ballast! I thought my layout was a lot of ballasting!

[@WardleRestorations]

Rule 1 Model Railways yeh tonnes and tonnes of it 😂😂

[@danielfantino1714]

Impressive torque that little 4 wheels loco. Pulling easily a person and so many wagons. Nice to see a smilling lady that have so much fun in that generally male world. Scenery, trackwork and those neat models. ❤❤👍👍

[@naivegauge]

Loved it - so big, and so small at the same time!

[@WardleRestorations]

Naive Gauge thank you! Hopefully more to come!

[@KidDynamite6]

man i appreciate the shit out of how much labor it was to build it my hats off to them.. the amount of stone is many tons alone

This is a marvellous garden railway, I wish had enough room to build this stuff, I don’t even have enough room to build a 00 gauge layout let alone this. Excellent video

I loved this railway and it's layout.I like the idea of riding on the train and thinking as if I am in driver's seat. Really amazing. I am subscribing to see more videos.

[@J94-r8b]

Nice one Ollie, I bet you loved every minute of it, Nice to see your Ruston (Planet) with those box vans, also I've never seen 5 inch gauge track on the ground, I've always seen the 5 inch gauge raised track railways, stay safe :)

[@WardleRestorations]

J94 I much prefer it on the ground! Looks more realistic among many other things!

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

I've never seen a miniature gauge Garratt before, but I've had a ride behind a Narrow Gauge one on the Welsh Highland Railway. Garratt steamies aren't exactly my cup of tea, but they are useful. They have a charm that's hard to ignore.

[@mervynbur]

A marvellous 5" gauge railway, fantastic. Merv.😃

This is nuts, would love to have this in the garden! The wiring in the signal box looked terrifying though...

Hey Ollie, that was sooooo cool. And if I don't see more I shall throw all my toys from the pram, after that I shall throw a tantrum and scream and scream till I'm sick. That might just be a bit dramatic but I think you get the point lol, really loved it thanks to you and Tian :) :) :)

You call your size 5" gauge. Is that the same as 1:16? I am building a Cargo wagon scale 1:14 but I also need weeks? The cargo wagon is part of an scale forklift truck. Because we had the forklift truck to load an unload the wagon. And that is what I want to show in RC. SO inam.looking for rails and wheels.

Are some of the switches-points controlled by rodding? I thought I saw some at about 4:00

That is by far the best garden railway I've ever seen, and a 5" gauge ivatt 2mt , I was very impressed with that. Keep up the good work with the ride on wagon ollie and stay safe James P.s. shall I order some scale model scenery cable trunking for the owner so he can hide the cables? 😉😂

[@WardleRestorations]

You are going to need a lot of trunking in that scale to cover this garden 😆😂

i love the fact. that this railway has hook and loop couplers

[@jtuttle11]

I don't believe car couplers like those have been used since the 1800's in America. Those things were 'DANGEROUS !'

[@astridvallati4762]

They are still used in Europe, although Auto Couplers are on modern unit trains. The Link is screw adjustable.

[@greekrailways2681]

Hey, I like the video but how are the trains powered? Diesel traction, battery powered, or are the track electric like a model railway?

This is a 'garden' railway ?

It’s in a garden so guess so!
