This is a very nice garden layout..a really interesting looking track plan including the long spooky tunnel which I imagine is a spider magnet! Thanks for sharing...
Ha, that is so cool! It genuinely took my brain a little while to comprehend the scale of what I was looking at. It was only when I noticed how giant stuff off to the side like the paving stones or the bucket seemed to be that I realised just how small the train must be.
@@driver667 I work part time in a model train shop here in Melbourne. You will be surprised how some people ask about G scale trains without understanding just how much room they need to do them justice. A smaller garden is okay but can look too crowded if you run large US locomotives etc…
I always wanted to build one outside like that. I have two questions though. How do you combat corrosion on rails and equipment and how would you retrieve a derailed train in the long tunnels? Very cool railroad.
Most rails are made of brass which is fine outside in the weather. As for the tunnel..... well, let's just hope nothing comes off the track as he may have some work to do if it does 😀👍😊
@@driver667 I had guessed this to be the likely explanation. I mean who else thinks to model the barriered walkways alongside the tracks like that? Only someone who's used them regularly to get to and from their loco. ;-)
We love watching your clips, as my husband is from Eaglehawk, and he enjoys reminiscing. By the way, have you watched the English channel of "Don Coffey train drivers eye view"? He includes a lot of information on-screen, and this makes the viewing experience much more interesting.
Don Coffey and Train_Paul94 are two of the best from the U.K. Love watching them and filled with good information. Rail Cow Girl from Scandinavia (Norway I think) is also excellent for cab rides (mainly freight) specially in the winter snow.
It has been a work over a number of years. You are correct, that stuff is not cheap and when you see it, you do say "Gee". He has done a pretty good job I reckon 👌👍😊
Oh blimey! That is truly amazing.
Glad you found it very enjoyable 👍😊
Beautiful layout. Enormous amount of work! Great vid too!
Very glad you enjoyed the video 👍 😊

@@DodderingOldMan it's a great little railway through the garden. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Nice setup. I'll add it to my wishlist for the next visit to Tassie :)
It's a nice little set-up Peter. 👍😊
enjoyed
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Amazing. What a great train set!
It is impressive 👍😊
That's amazing! I can't get over the size of that garden for one thing, but the railway is awesome and must've taken years to complete.
It took a number of years to build. A labour of love 👍😊
I live in Victoria under a similar climate and have always wanted to build something like this. So this is a little helpful.
Anything is possible when you get into it. I hope you build a railway that brings you great enjoyment. 👍😀
I love the Third of Fourth bridge, both the name and the bridge itself :)
It took him a while to build that bridge 😀 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
Surprising how realistic it looks despite the smaller size, compared to the real thing. Very creative use of track.
Yes, he has done a good job of it 👍😊

@@stevie65able I agree. He has done a good job of this layout around the garden. 👍😊
Didn't whistle for any of those crossings. Tch tch! 😅
Nicely done layout though.
🤣🤣 Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😊

Noticed the overlap section in the overhead at 2:24. Something I don't think I've seen modelled before. :)
He is a retired train driver and likes to model the details like this 👍😊

@@emdB67 👍😊
4:10 "Oh no!" Honey, I shrunk the kids! LOL🤣
@neilforbes416 theres a similar one just outside melbourne
@@top40researcher31 I don't think I know of that one just outside Melbourne 🤔

Yes, I have watched Don Coffey. He does some nice trips. 👍😀
It's "G' Scale because when you see it, you say *"Oh Gee!"* LOL😁
@neilforbes416 but seriously these tracks aren't cheap to buy

@@driver667 that i can imagine
@neilforbes416 a G minor Minor G LOL
And I betcha that you’ve got one exactly the same or similar in ur own backyard correct?
My train is a little bit bigger than this one 😀👍
@@driver667 so you ride it when you’re not working correct?
@@KerrynB-w1s sometimes 😊
Im nw tassie and run G scale myself. May i ask where this is?
@@4wd-Moto-Adventure it's a private railway in Sisters Beach. 👍😀
