Thanx for your kind words. There are more videos of tours from 2015 and 2016 as well. Please go to my channel page and you will find more videos like this you may enjoy.
The double header coal train is spectacular. Makes me want to model the coal lines. Remember the sound of a steam locomotive whistle echoing off the mountains. A beautiful layout . Thank you. J. Vorhes StJ&GI and Kansas Central , Bethesda, Md.
I have mine own Railway here in Belgrave in Melbourne Australia, youris is FANTASTIC detail trestles, are the highlite well done Frank and Jane Stellar,s From Jeff on Oz
On a side note, that kid crying because dad wouldn’t let him grab the train (@ 13:00) was music to my ears. I miss my kids being young enough to parent to like that. And now it seems most parents will often stand there and go “no, Kevin”, repeatedly, until the kid does it anyway.
Thanks for the video. I can't understand why you guys videoing can't zoom out so we can see all of the Travolta too. We ramrod to see the whole layout also
That is one amazing layout. You must be the envy of the block . And the house where all the neighborhood kids wanna hang out . Can I ask what brand of rail and switches you used ?? It looks to be stainless steel ...
Tracy Mitchell There are currently 2 manufacturers who makes signals for G Scale. South Bend Signal www.sbsignal.com/Large_Scale.html which operate by infared to detect a train coming much like a real signal. Z Stuff for Trains also sells a little bit of G Scale signals which also work from sensors. But nothing is offered that works on DCC. www.z-stuff.net/dz1050_g.html
Most of the time the trains will not get run thru snow. However there are people in the G Scale community who do own G Scale plows and rotary snow plows to clear the track
The Pennsylvania Garden Railway Tour is only open to the public once a year. Located in Straburg PA you can check the Railroad of Pennsylvania Museum for information on the next scheduled tour.
Pros: Track, trestles, bridges, trackbed gravel, and trains seemed to scale. Cons: Buildings looked off-scale. Nothing was weathered...i'd paint the rail rust-brown except where you need contact for control. Weather the trains, rolling stock, buildings, and vehicles. Everything looked so new it was as if it had been lain out the day before. Learn how to run the trains at scale speed. All the trains i saw were going at least 2x too fast for realism. But hey!...it's better than MY garden railway.

Fantastic! i would go nuts with a camera in this place.
and the air raid siren at the end, goes along with the WWII undercurrent here very nice!
Very impressive railway, and well filmed. Thanks lots for uploading.
Thanx Much for your nice comments & Your Welcome
Dakman Productions Where is this located?
and i thought my scuba diving hobby was expensive. this is so awsome!
Love the Tuscan Red passenger train with the K4. Complete with the Observation Car, it could have been a short Broadway Limited.
Awesome, wondering if it stays set up outside? And if anyone ever try to tamper with it?
nice garden layout,, awesome
Glad you like it!
very impressive train compositions , super entertaining
Thanx Much
how is your viaduct constructed? it is very nice! I have one cast from concrete, but lacks the nice stone texture that yours has...
Thanks for the video. I can't understand why you guys videoing can't zoom out so we can see all of the Travolta too. We ramrod to see the whole layout also
The video is from 2014 and I was still learning what viewers wanted.
great craftsmanship! Detail on the bridges was excellent
Does anyone know who owns this layout? I live in Mannheim and I would love to learn this Hobby
Mr & Mrs. Stellar....awesome layout.....when is your next open house??
Bill. Bobb. Wilmington Delaware
Check out the Railway Museum of Pennsylvania website ant they are usually part of the Garden Railway tour. www.rrmuseumpa.org/visitors/calendar.shtml
That is one amazing layout. You must be the envy of the block . And the house where all the neighborhood kids wanna hang out .
Can I ask what brand of rail and switches you used ?? It looks to be stainless steel ...
The person who owns this layout has since replaced everything with AML brand track
Very nice garden layout and filming, but prefer to view it without the distraction of watchers speaking over the running train sounds.
What manufacturer makes the small track right of way signals and are those made for g scale? Are the operation with DCC?

Is a perfect work of engineer. Very very beautiful. Congratulations and a question : When does it snow, how do they do it ?
Most of the time the trains will not get run thru snow. However there are people in the G Scale community who do own G Scale plows and rotary snow plows to clear the track
Thank, it is a beautiful job.
this layout is outstanding
SUPER!!!!!
Beautiful garden layout. But boy, they'll slap Pennsylvania decals on ANYTHING won't they!
are the wooden railroad tresles made by hand?
Yes they are all hand made
Where is this located? Is it open to the public?

This is awsome! Am i seeing two big boys on this layout?
No those are Mallet type steam locomotive double heading a train
Excellent video. In my youtubechannel are also very nice garden railways.
HI!
Hello
Pros: Track, trestles, bridges, trackbed gravel, and trains seemed to scale.
Cons: Buildings looked off-scale. Nothing was weathered...i'd paint the rail rust-brown except where you need contact for control. Weather the trains, rolling stock, buildings, and vehicles.

I wonder where this could be.... Cough cough Pennsylvania cough cough
But seriously why do most of the engines say Pennsylvania, even the big boy like locos
Some people are just fans of a particular railroad. The locomotives you are referring to are actually a Mallet Steam Locomotive.
