  • Dean & Anne Wiese have built an amazing, large "G" scale garden railroad in their yard in Utah. The railroad has about 300 feet of track, dozens of all-weather structures, and around 40 miniature pine trees.
    As it's a large railroad with many little scenes and trains we will be back again next week with more of this fun railroad.
    The Wiese's are members of the Utah Garden Railroad Society and we will be off to several more of their railroads in upcoming weeks.

    Quite a beautiful backyard garden railroad. I’m going to be visiting the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad on next Sunday, where they are also going to be running their small plantation 0-4-2T #3 “Kahuku” for shuttle service. That little engine is mainly use for shuttle service during Day Out with Thomas events.

    I have one of those Spruce trees in my garden. They obviously prefer the weather on that layout because my example, while it's healthy, has never grown much bigger than when I got it!

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  Рік тому +1

      Which is the goal! These thinks are about eight feet tall full grown when planted. After 30 years! If you keep them in a pot if you can keep them alive they will never grow at all.

    The Weiss family have a beautiful layout with a lot of interesting eye catching detail. On each section I would notice something different. I have to admit though that the Alberta Spruce had captured my attention, it's the perfect tree for my yard.

    Love it. I really liked the hot air balloons. I was hoping they also moved, but just having them there was a nice touch. I wonder if a motorized pulley system could be used to raise and lower them under the tree(s). I wonder if a motor/pulley/zip line system could be used to move the balloon over an area while raising and/or lowering one (them)...just wondering.

    Ohh, that is such a cool layout. The structures and scenes around the tracks add so much flavor and points of interest. Looks like it is set in late 1950s? The mountain with the live trees really is going to be hard to top for scenery. Is this layout lighted? If so, sure would like to see it after sundown. Meanwhile, the shoemaker's shop looks great!

    I like how the locos are battery operated instead of track powered! Where are these available? Or do you have to convert track-powered locos to battery? I think for a lot of folks who may just want an easy to build and operated garden railroad without having to pull power over to it this is great! (And you could always use solar powered lighting for night operation.) Thanks!

    • @ToyManTelevision

      That system works either way. Air Wire is battery only. Google rail pro and air wire. A bit expensive. Hand held unit is about 200. Each locomotive about 100 plus batteries.
