@williamsworkshopuk thanks! I compiled shots from various people's cameras and phones, I didn't have a chance to take much footage.. it was a busy day!

@Gauge3 thanks! And thank you for coming! The 8F is a stunning loco, and a great performer,

The 4MT, the 14xx, and Mallard were all live steam. There was an electric 14xx and his class 47, GWR Manor plus another one whose ID escapes me but we were all surprised at how much it pulled

@@ralphbrades4378 yeah honestly, those are some heavy loads. pretty impressive!

They do take up a lot of space! Both in the house on shelves and out on the track, they also take a lot of time to bring out and put out on the track, bringing out 8 takes me a careful 20 minutes! That's not bashing the walls or coaches coming down the stairs one at a time... Then trying to couple them up involves either alot of patience or usually a lot of swearing!

@@eddywilliams6212 I bet. I chose O in the end - that's bad enough in a small end terrace suburban! My dad models SM32 so it was tempting to have some standard gauge G3 (although not a perfect scale match it would have been a nice juxtaposition in the garden). I'm wondering if I should have stuck with 4mm or 3mm.....but the weight and size of larger scales in the garden is a wonder to behold 😊😄👍✌️

Hi, All locos are battery powered, with packs ranging from 12- 18 volts, the transmitter is a deltang RCT- Tx22 selecta, which i can control 12 trains at once, with cruise control and inertia, the speed controllers in the locos are from fosworks, the recievers are rx102

@@eddywilliams6212 thanks same as my own. I have 2 LGB stainz converted to Deltang as well. Your collection is fabulous. Looking forward to seeing more. Regards

@@kendaly1312 great! I do like the selecta function, it's very handy when shunting and you want to leave a loco running on the mainline, altho i had to replace the board in my handset due to a near death experience.. I was walking through the car park after a model show, carrying the controller and lightning struck the fence about 20 feet away! And it fried the main board! The guys at rc trains.co.uk were very helpful and repaired it for me 😀

No problem!

Thanks! And yes the 06 is a firm favourite of mine! Had a lot of interest, i might be turning it into a kit soon.. It would be suitable for tight radius, i think 4 foot would work, esp since it has oval buffers

Hi, yes that would make a solid base, it would need support every few feet, as it might sag after a while, what i have done on my latest railway is build an upside down U profile using 3/4 inch x 6 inch pieces, which makes a rigid based without the need for too many posts in the ground, cheers, eddy from scotland

Yes! 12 foot radius curves instead of 8, but funnily enough, the up and down lines are each only 2 yard track panels longer than the old railway, i reused all of the old track and moved the sleepers to make the new curves.

I use the deltang system for the radio, the controller is the one where you can control 12 trains at once, its quite good, the receiver and esc combo is such a neat little unit, you could probs fit it into a 00 gauge coach or wagon, and it handles 18 volts max and 3 amps max, for the bigger locos, they have fosworks esc, which works OK with the deltang, and construction of locos - I should really altho i havnt constructed a loco in a while, i would like to make another couple of hall locos, so when I do-I will make some construction videos!

Yes i quite agree! There is snow forecast in the next week or so here, so i should really print out a decent plough with its own wheels and weighted I think

They are about 12 cm wide, for G scale, bearing in mind, they are about 3 foot long, so you would need to shorten the length, probs get 2 or 3 coaches out of one kit, i could sell the sides separately, but i have updated the way I make the side panels, so now the inner black skins have been replaced by a one piece curved clear plastic panel, this doubles as the glazing, making Assembly much quicker, but it also makes the side panels the most expensive part of the kit..

I made sure I did it on a windy day! But yes there was a lot of dust!

Thanks, it is based on the one at lady bank in fife , altho a little shorter in Length

Cheers, i do like to reuse things, the bridge was made from posts that I pull up from the woods, where young trees had been supported with a post and plastic tube, but had now grown and burst through the tubes so we're no longer needed, for my next railway in my videos, you might notice the raised sections, these were made using over a 1000 of these posts, which came in very handy!

I have seen your videos and your stuff is plenty good enough for Gauge 3! Just need to widen your track! Gauge 3 short wheel based wagons and 0-4-0 locos can cope with 4 foot radius easily, and larger locos-7-8 foot radius, i personally would like to add an extra rail for running some lgb stuff, just need to figure out how to make the junctions on such large radius points as the blades are about a foot long..

@@eddywilliams6212 That’s very generous, thank you. Insanely jealous of your coaches!

Hi, thanks for watching, i use ordinary superglue, but lots.. It sticks very well to polyurethane resin,

Hi, Yes no sleepers when I built this line, and the house, is an row of old cottages, which had bathrooms added on the back in the 1920s, and yes a very similer style of construction to war buildings, with whinstone powder added to the Harling for that tough grey finish

Hi, ONE lap of the track is about 45 meters give or take a bit depending on which track your on

Thanks 😄

Cheers, it was a scratch build, mostly plasticard, acrylic and the odd bit of brass,

The dmu is a kit that I'm developing, as a kit of parts, i have done the body, bogies, but still needs an interior and all the stuff under the frames done like engines, battery boxes ect, i will be doing that this year

Cheers, hopefully I will gettnner track built in the spring, it involves quite a bit of pointwork..

Yeah, been very busy! I'm sad we had to move from Kippo Farm, with its fabulous scenery backdrops, but the new railway is more accessible for us and wider curves

Hi Tom, This is the last bit of footage from the 1/24 scale line.. As it says in the description, and the title-building a garden railway, you may have noticed that this is one of a series of videos showing progress as i build a garden railway, but you are right, there are no cement mixers or spades in this video..

Hi, i started in 1/24 scale as its a nice scale to work in, not too big or small, it all started when I was a kid and used to have lots of playmobil which is 1/24 scale, i have moved up to the more common 1/22.5 now, and yes everything is still scratch built, altho i buy wheels

Part 2 is to do the roof, however--I am completely changing the way the roof is molded and constructed, so once I have done that, there will be a video on that, im very close to finishing it, the prototype roof has been done, i just need to make a few adjustments to the mold

Hi, i am in the middle of moving house and re setting up the work shop, will get it done soon!

I think its a test bed for future ideas and bogie layouts, it is named Hillock, im not sure if its ever going to be built into a full length loco, perhaps Tim could enlighten us on that one!

The coaches have a foam damper to stop the springs from bouncing, on this coach, i havnt fitted them or tightened down the springs yet, trial runs! The new coaches weigh about 4kg, so plenty heavy, the ones by kingscale in my last video weigh in at 8kg which is pretty hefty!

Thanks, been alot of work so far What scale are the the trucks?

eddie williams they are 1:16th

@@marknewell7355 ok thats quite a bit bigger! I think 3.5 inch gauge would be closer than 2.5,

eddie williams do you know a gauge that would be close to that scale if such a thing exists

@@marknewell7355 yes if you scale 3.5 inch gauge track, it works out about 1/16, as far as i know, not many people model in that scale, its more towards model engineering where people build their own and take them to tracks where they are powerful enough to pull people behind, if you look on ebay, there are quite a few 3.5 inch live steam locos
