Simply beautiful work/layout, what an inspiration. I'm starting construction on my GR soon and will use your block wall elevation concept. Not to mention so many other features that provide endless motivation for a new builder.
Thank you for viewing and your kind comments. This is the first build for this owner and he made sure he got it correct. I also used this type of build on my "deltatrains" layout. Make sure everything is settled down before laying the tracks and use lots of crusher dust gravel for the roadbed. All the best, Peter.
Most open houses are prepared with some type of cover in case of rain, or the visitors wait in their cars until the rain stops. Sometimes the event has to be cancelled if the weather is very bad. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Graham. The builder is one of the best in the hobby. Each piece board by board and nicely painted or oil stained. Thanks for the comment. Peter.
Hi. Thanks for your interest in this layout. It is built on flat property, no grades; and the soil is held back with 3 degree set-back jumbo Allan Block, built to four high, ( www.allanblock.com/products/products.aspx ). There is a deep layer of gravel fines under the track for drainage and track ballasting. The track is set up for track power ( DCC ) but is excellent for live steam and battery powered trains. The track plan is a very simple bent dogbone pattern with one end curved into itself. There is about four foot wide walkway space all around for easy access even for wheelchairs. As can be seen in the video, there is a lift bridge which connects the main layout to the inside of the basement of the house so that trains can be set up inside on a siding and engines can also be prepared in there. Unfortunately, it is quite remote for visitations.
The diesels were made in 1: 29 scale by two companies called Aristocraft and USA TRAINS. They ran on gauge one tracks and usually pulled 1:29 scale rolling stock. Unfortunately, since there is only one track for use in these scales, it scales out to be 10 percent too big for true standard gauge ( 1:32 ) but still looks close enough out in the garden at the viewing point. Later in this video you can also see 1:20.3 scale engines and rolling stock on the same track and that represents true 3 foot narrow gauge on those tracks. Thanks for watching. I do have a more recent video of this layout. ua-cam.com/video/j0AZxitxFN4/v-deo.html ENJOY.
Thank you for watching and enjoying the video and figures. There are many companies which make 1/24 scale figures and this layout uses figures from many different sources to match the scene they are placed into. LGB, and Bachmann make figures for these trains and if you put " 1/24 scale figures" into your search line on your computer, many company names will then be shown to you and how to order them.
Outstanding attention to detail, ease of maintenance and layout...this is where it gets real fun. Great foresight and followthrough!
Thank you for viewing and comments. All the best, Peter.
Beautiful layout, magnificent structures and garden 👌🚀🚀🚀😊
Thanks for watching and comment.
Nice layout. It would be nice to see some overhead shots of the complete railroad from the deck or a drone

Exquisite - everything beautiful - and a beautiful setting too.
Thank you for viewing. all the best , Peter.
Excellent video Peter, good job capturing the realism and extend of the layout and trains.
Thank you Randy for viewing. Was good to see you at the meet.

Great video Peter, those buildings are lovely must have taken many hours to build, regards Graham

The diesel/electric loco and cars at the beginning...is that considered one gauge? I.e. 1:32 scale?
The diesels were made in 1: 29 scale by two companies called Aristocraft and USA TRAINS. They ran on gauge one tracks and usually pulled 1:29 scale rolling stock. Unfortunately, since there is only one track for use in these scales, it
scales out to be 10 percent too big for true standard gauge ( 1:32 ) but still looks close enough out in the garden at

Where is the place to get figures
Thank you for watching and enjoying the video and figures. There are many companies which make 1/24 scale figures and this layout uses figures from many different sources to match the scene they are placed into.

Orange boxcar axle needs oiled
Let's just call it "flange squeal" against the steel rail and think of it as almost a real train. Thanks for watching.
