Very Interesting
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it 😀 👍
[ X ] ... Now that's a pretty neat hobby!!
It certainly is. It would keep you busy 😀👍
They’ve certainly put a lot of work into it. The track looks very robust and well built.
Yes, it is nice track 👍😊
Absolutely epic! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the lineside WC although it’s a little too public for me…
Lol, yes there are a few quirky things along the line 🤣 👍😀
What a magnificent layout. With the snaking curves around the hill it really felt like my experiences on the Narrow gauge railways 60 years or so ago. I can understand why the owner wants to keep its location secret. He would be besieged with people wanting a ride.
It is very picturesque. I can imagine it made you feel like your narrow gauge experiences. It has that feel to it. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
Zips along pretty quickly up the hill. Another great video 👍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
That’s really great. The track looks really good. Concrete sleepers.
The track is good. The sleepers are actually plastic. A lot of miniature railways use them now 👍😊
Wow, those giants at the end were huge! When you say "private" railway, is this all your own land? Absolutely awesome. Well done sir.
Yes, it's a private railway but this one is not mine. Well done to the owner of this railway 👍😊
Exciting to watch. Must be exciting to ride on.
Yes, a very nice railway to ride 👍 😀
There's a lot of work done there, and as you said, it's a work in progress, would like to see the final product, eventually.
Yes, he has certainly done a lot of work on it so far. It looks great 👍😊
What a great layout.
It is good 👍 👌 😊
Love, it. This is what my tattslotto dreams are made of......
Lol, wouldn't it be nice..... that's what they say 😊😊👍
Great stuff as usual. If it's possible to get permission from AGL, I'd love to see footage of the 3 foot gauge Bogong Creek Tramway on the Kiewa hydro scheme. Amazingly it is still in use 75 years after it was built, although the last couple of km were abandoned after a bridge collapse.
I just happen to have footage of that I took back in the 1990's with my video camera of the time. The quality is no where as good as today's camera but I will put it together in a video in the future 👍 😉
@@hoolydooly5072 it is quirky but has a charm to it 😊😊👍
Thats an impressive setup so far.
Yes, it is impressive 👍😊
Cool, looks like some guy owns a Private railway.
Yes. There are a number of them around the 👍😊
Putty Cat small but good
It's a nice ride 👍😀🐈
How does your "battery powered skateboard" accommodate different miniature railway gauges?
It is only 7 1/4 inch gauge. 👍😊
Great miniature railway ours only takes 5 minutes and only if the weather permits
They are all good fun regardless of how short or long they are 😀👌👍
I wonder where the cows were hiding on the day?
I'm sure I saw them up the hill with a camera 👍🤣
amazing
It is good fun. Nice little track this fellow has built around his property 👌 😊
I'd love to know where to buy that small gauge rail, I have plans for a 12" railway at my place. This little railway featured here is great, love seeing small gauge lines in action.
They are nice to see. I use flat bar the same as a number of clubs for my railway. Small profile rail is 3 to 4 times the cost and flat bar works well and looks good. Your 12" gauge railway would be interesting to see when you have it up and running 👍😊
@@driver667fantastic looking railway what size flat bar do you use did you make points/turnouts as well
@@shaydon7315 the railway in this video is not mine but for my railway, I used 25mm by 10mm flat bar for the rail and made all my points myself. There are some videos of my railway in the miniature railway playlist. 👍😊
Rail is 4kg/m, I believe sourced from Europe.
@@owenwitteveen 👍
surely has to be the one between Seymour and Yea! IB
All I can say is central Victoria. 👍😊
That's the Kerrisdale Mountain Railway, slightly larger gauge than this.....
@@alistairwhite2906 👍😊
Looks like great fun. How long is the track.
At a guess, I would say 900 metres but I didn't measure it or ask that question, so it is only a guess 🤔 😊👍
Thankyou. Looks a reasonable length to run. Were you driving a battery powered loco.
@@NejMoss4873 yes, more like a battery powered skateboard, lol. 👍😊
The track is currently at around 750m
@@darcyhawks8383 👍😊
Is it 7 1/4” gauge?
Yes Neil, it's 7 1/4" gauge 👍😊
Is this the one with a station that looks like Maryborough in miniature?
No, you're thinking of the VMR that is being set up for the public at Harcourt. 👍😊
Poor passengers, you didn't do a toilet stop.
It's ok, the train is fitted with toilets 🤣🤣🤣
Is that at Harcourt?
It's not the VMR railway at Harcourt that is being set up for the public. It is a private railway. The owner only wants it known as central Victoria. 👍😊
@@driver667 Thanks for that, the green shed in the back ground at the end of your run I helped to build and have had many parties in it
