HSBA Garden Railway
United Kingdom
Приєднався 10 гру 2020
The HSBA Garden Railway is a G Scale garden layout based in Jersey, Channel Islands. Over 138m (455ft) of track navigate through tunnels, over bridges and past the pond in a garden in the parish of St. Mary.
Started in 2021, the railway is result of a husband and wife team that wanted to do something a little different in their garden. A mix of a childhood dream and passion for gardening - it was a perfect match

Drivers' Eye View of our Garden Railway Open Day (June 2024)
On the 29th of July, 2024, we opened the HSBA Garden Railway up to locals for the first Open Day of the year. During the day, over 500 visitors came to watch the trains and enjoy the garden. With their help, we raised over £2,350 for Finni's Ark Animal Sanctuary.
We captured some footage of the day from the driver's perspective. Hope you enjoy!

Excellent. A nice ride. The railway is looking great, really maturing nicely! Great to see all the happy people too 😄
Trains
Nice 👍
Probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen of a really practical garden railroad. Took a lot of work I’m sure but it was worth it! Nicely done;very enjoyable.
Wow, thanks! That means a lot! It was a lot of work but a lot of fun too. I definitely enjoy the process :) Thanks for watching
Absolutely fantastic well done
Nice assessment. Appreciated!
Just wonderful 😊
I've seen some of your other videos on this layout. It is awesome. I like everything about it. Still trying to get my g scale started. Thanks for sharing all your videos. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
Sehr interessante Anlage 👍👍
I've burn all my loco decoder with those
the railway is looking great, plants are maturing nicely
Fantastic Job thank you for sharing
🎄Must have been a lot of work, so well done. Lovely result! 🎄
Absolutely brilliant, love it! Superb the way the magic train makes everything light up as it approaches. Well done and Merry Christmas to you all. All the best Jim.
Great video, thank you for sharing
It’s astonishing how many FeckHallBahn staff are moonlighting on your railway!! Lovely stuff. Looking forward to reading about it in Garden Rail mag.
Huge project. Beautifully done. What a wonderful job. You should be very proud.
Thank you very much! We are really happy with how it has turned out.That being said, we always have new ideas for what comes next. Thanks for the comment!
Tempted. Very tempted. Not too bad a price, given how much the none DCC ordinary coach versions of this retail for.
For us, it was worth the uniqueness. It was -expensive- (especially given we mostly buy second-hand locos on eBay around a similar or less price point) but given what it offered we were happy to go for it. Already planning the Christmas tunes!
Nice video thank you. I have one of these wagons, unfortunately it did not have a SD card . Is there anyway of getting another SD card would you know?
The SD Cards are just standard micro SD. If you search on Amazon or local electronics store they should be able to provide one. Once you have it, you'll need to get the software and the default sounds (must + sound effects) which can be downloaded from the LGB site (www.lgb.de/service/downloads/wiederherstellungsdaten-sd-karte). We uploaded a separate video on modifying the sound files but this can walk you through part of the process of getting the sounds working. Good luck!
I thought 009 was expensive 😂😢
Yeah, this was definitely a splurge!
Love it. You have a very nice Garden Railway
Thank you very much!
Very cool, thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
Love the review! Wow the music and sounds are really good and the lighting. Thanks for doing a review I don't think anyone else has done an indepth review of this item. The only thing is the holes by the drummer they should have plugged them up. But wow the music while running looks great
Thanks! I think the first wagon review we've done too. It's a bit more unique so felt it deserved something special. We've also managed to customise the music too which adds to the enjoyment.
Fun wagon and great review. Nice to see you both in the video.
Thanks, Rob! Yeah, it was one of the lighter contributions! It was nice to have Nikki infront of the camera too :)
Am amazed how much this costs now is certainly not worth £350 they're asking for it now, was bad enough when I paid £280, if you get any luck with playing your own music on it, do a follow-up video, lgb/Marklin's email help was next to useless never did get it to work.
Yeah, it was steep - by far the most we've paid for any of our stock (and more than many of our locos). I was tinkering with the idea of trying to build my own version but feared it would end as another incomplete icon on the todo list. Plus, Nikki gave the green light so we just bit the bullet. Actually, I made a video on that! I worked out the problem after a couple of days. Will post it shortly.
The video is here btw: ua-cam.com/video/pE2ikKt-r7o/v-deo.html
Fantastic work.
Many thanks!
Rome didn't get built over night
But a railway was built in a year (or two!)
Looks fantastic. All the best.
Many thanks!
👍
Thanks!
Well done garden railway, looking great. Few questions, are you running track power or battery? You refernced removing your remote decouplers and only using fixed ones. May I inquire why? Do you perfrom a lot of switching when running your trains? If you are running track power, how are you circuiting your two reversing loops? Assuming your branch in the lower right is to inside your home. Is this for train storage? Do any of your vidoes show this area? Do you have any automation or auto running of your train(s) or is everything manual controlled? You have quite a few stations, woiuld be interesting if trains were running in a automated sequence. Especically if travel direction was varied on your main line. Apolgies if you have addressed the above in a pervious video. Just found your channel, very nicely designed.
We're working on a video that covers power and control because we get these questions a lot. I think we've touched on them in other videos but nothing comprehensive. We're running track power (DCC using a system based on the Z21protocol). Regarding the uncouplers, I may have misspoken - we're moving towards loco-based uncouplers because of the flexibility. For now, the ramps in the terminus station are staying because this is where we do a run-round without the 'hand of God' so to speak. Mostly, I enjoy the trains just going round. However, on Open Days and for videos, I try to give some more operational interest of trains doing things - I think it's more entertaining for the viewers. The reversing loops are controlled by x2 reverse loop modules. You completely isolate the section and there are 2 feeds in from the 'main' layout and 2 feeds out to the isolated loop. Really simple wiring. Yes, the branch is into the garage. I don't think there are recent videos of it (honestly, the storage tracks aren't big enough!) but a couple of older ones showing it running into the garage but nothing of the workshop itself. Everything is manually controlled at the moment but we plan to automate. The left side (the terminus) is going to be where we test/learn about the technology. We've always know we wanted to go this way so have laid some of the required infrastructure already! Hope this helps :)
Just reread my orginal inquire. Appolgies, hit you with a lot of questions. Looking at designing a garden railroad with reversing loops. Very interested in automation. Familar with the Raspberry Pi, unknown if this device can support the DDS protical. Would be interested in a video on how your automation testing is going. The railroad I am planning will be a bit smaller then yours, 200' of track. Planning only two trains running at the same time. The Rasp Pi connected a relay board would allow auotmation via controlling blocks of track (DC control for trains). DCC attractive as could add sound boards, will have to look into this further. My older garden rail road was basially just a large loop. Waiting to add some turnouts, switching and automation to make the new layout more interesting. Thank you for providing more deails on your layout. Looks great, looking forward to your future videos.
@@dpin6072 No need to apologise. We post these videos because we're excited by the hobby and helping others with it is a part of that. Have you looked at "The World of LGB" (champex-linden.de/cl_downloads/download_fremddokumente/lgb_00559_explore_the_world_of_lgb.pdf ). This was a book produced by LGB years ago. I believe it is now out of print but there is almost a complete replicate with the above link. They had an EPL system that allowed a degree of automation. There is a wonderful post by Dunny on G Scale Central (www.gscalecentral.net/threads/automation-with-lgb-epl.318445/) that explains how he did. In short, it uses a combination of isolating sections, reed switches with magnets to switch points and relays.There are also options for shuttle runs but I've not seen them combined (conceptually, it is possible). Much of the above should be imitatable with a Pi and other electronics components. The Reversing Loop unit is the only I'm less sure about - may be worth getting an off the shelf module for this given the speciality of the request.
Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
I wish I could be there with you.
We do open days a few times a year. Jersey is a beautiful island to visit with lots more than just garden railways!
Lovely
Thanks!!
wife said no
Keep trying! Nikki is now an enthusiastic supporter. I do the trains - she does the garden!
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful garden and incredible railway.
Glad you enjoyed it We're also a big fan of our channel. Very excited to watch your new layout progress!
Excellent review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Really nice garden railway
Many thanks. There are some more recent ones that have a splash more colour!
BELLISSIMO, COMPLIMENTI!
Thank you!
Short and sweet! I liked that the walking camping couple had moved to the footbridge in another shot 👍
That was a fluke but the effect worked well!
Love it!❤
Thank you!!
Sigo diciendo que tu ferrocarril es hermoso, hicieron un gran trabajo, felicitaciones!!!❤
Thank you!
I would suggest running BIG STEAM, but the U.K. don't have what the yankees call BIG STEAM...
No, we don't. The layout is mostly European Narrow Gauge so quite far from the US Big Steam!
What a great way to showcase the before and after! Really well done!
Yeah, it started as a chat between Nikki and I the other day. We were amazed how far it's established from the winter 2021 "mud pit" (that's what we called it then 😂)
Amazing!
What a fantastic garden railway!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfection!
Thanks! Worked well to promote our open day
I love garden railway exhibitions, but I couldn't get to Llangollen, so thanks for putting this up 😊
My pleasure 😊
Lovely run around the railway!
I always enjoy recording these. Gets a whole different perspective!
I love it when the engine sound drops into the coasting sweetspot on the down gradients. I saw quite a few people ready for their holidays. And a fox, and a tiger crossing the track! All the planting, shrubs and sedums are looking fantastic and very trim. But the most alarming thing, did you know there's a giant in your garden? 😂
Thanks for the lovely words, Jim. Glad you enjoyed some of the detailing. We found that the figures and small scenes add a lot to the world (so the giants can appreciate watching!). Also extremely happy with how the garden is establishing. Thanks for the view!
Love the Station Canopies. Thanks for the update. Brilliant railway as always.
Yeah, managed to get a good deal on them Grootspoor so went for it. Gave them a quick spray paint to make the colours consistent and I think it worked out well. Going to add some small lights underneath for the night shots!
Ja, in so einer Gartenbahn steckt enorm viel Arbeit drinnen. 👍👍👍 Liebe Grüße
Danke. Ja, harte Arbeit, aber sehr unterhaltsam! Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen
