Nice video, the wife likes gardening and I like railways. The perfect answer.
Hehe, Lulu star of the show again! Good to see another NJ video as well!
The sidekick
Congratulations on the addition to the family & so pleased you have finally got round to bonding those rail joints 🤣🤣🤣👍
Learnt from the best! 😉
Rail joints should NOT be bonded
Firstly congratulations on the new born, you'll be great parents. Great to see the garden railway progress so much in such a short time, love that 37 😍. Looking forward to seeing new junction back up and running in the garage. Great video as ever, look forward to the next one. Keep up the great work as ever and see you on your next video
Cheers
James
Thanks James!
As someone dreaming of building a similar railway, I'm glad I found your channel. You're such a charming and knowledgeable fellow!
I wouldn't go that far George but thanks for the comment! 😅
Looking great 🤞 we don’t get any bird poo on it and 🤞 nothing to bad has happend to it from the storm but must not complain the garden railway looks fab
Great video Richard. Hope to see one day a running session again of your garden railway. Keep up the great work.
Ditto, got a few locos itching to show themselves 😁
What a stunner glad to see videos back I’m excited for the next one
Thanks! 😊
Congratulations on the birth of your child Richard. I know my friend will be looking into that DCC Concepts control system, he seems to want his railway to look after itself while he goes to the pub. and as for me, well, I love Lulu.
Regards, David.
Thanks David!
Great video as always! And always lovely seeing Lulu about!!
Thanks Stephen
Brilliant Richard. First of congrats on the new born you will be a fantastic Dad. Great to see the railway again and some trains running on it. Automation that's going to be pretty fun. The station is coming together nicely and 00neal has done a fantastic job on those buildings and that station building is Amazing!. Can't wit to see new New Junction being built that's exciting!. - Nicholas.
Many thanks Nicholas!
Really starting to look great
How cool is it to have access to a shop like DCC concepts! I live in one of the top 10 metro areas in the U.S. and my city does not have a single hobby store anywhere in the city anymore, not even one of the bad chain stores. I have to drive hours to get to the nearest reasonable hobby store.
It's also nice to see someone taking masks and distancing seriously, thanks showing that.
Its great and you can get in touch with DCCCONCEPTS from where you are
Nice upload found it very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
@@NewJunction Thanks so much .If you get chance have a look at my channel and follow my journey that would make my day.Thanks David.
Absolutely awesome video Richard loved every minute of it. The railway is coming along nicely and I love those new building u had made , very realistic!! Congratulations on your new addition
Many thanks!
Hey RIchard! Great to see what is going on at home... besides weddings and additions to the family. :D Awesome view of a Garden layout and nice additions for the station.
Ha thanks Anthony, likewise chap
Thats a mega cool garden railway... id love to do something like that... not sure the missus and the landlord would be quite so keen though 🤣
Details haha
17:30 thats just Richards private transport taking him to and from dcc concepts haha 😄 😆
Brilliant video Richard
You know it 😁
Congratulations on the new addition to the family.
You could buy or make a small jig to hold the wire in place. I have seen them for sale online. The first one i saw reminded me of a fly tying stand for fishing. I can imagine a small tool tray with feet to keep it off the track. Inside the tray you could mount an iron holder next to articulated arms with clips to hold both ends of the wire in place. I think that would speed up the process quite a bit.
Very nice yard and beautiful dog.
I have just binge watched your garden railway series after you mentioned it in your latest New Junction video. It looks like a lot of fun. I will definitely keep an eye out for your next garden railway video.
Thanks Brenton
Great video/layout. 👍🏼
Nice to see the layout coming along. Excellent work by OO Neal.
Thanks Frank!
Great Video Richard
Thanks Dave!
Awesome update, love the DCC Concepts's stuff. Tris is an awesome guy!
He is a good egg!
Great video sir! The 'O Gauge' garden railway is coming on a treat. The 3D Resin-printed station building is fantastic. Wizard work and hats off to OO Neal for the finish. All the best with the Garden Railway! Congratulations on your New addition and I hope all is well. Best wishes to you and yours, sir. Cheers!
The layout is looking really good now and the station adds to the scene 😀👍
What a week for updates. Dean park, everard junction and now new junction. Congratulations on new junction jnr👏🏻👏🏻 gardens coming along nicely. Looking forward to the 00 gsuge update next.
Spoilt for choice haha
Congratulations Richard and thanks for an interesting video . Buildings look great .
Thanks John!
This is the same method of wiring that I've employed, although I tin both the wire and the rail with standard wire solder before soldering the two together. I did this back in june I think, although I use droppers through the ends of the boards where there's a lifting section, using RCA plugs to connect the lifting section wiring to the main track wiring.
I haven't yet pinned any of my track down yet, aside from the first lifting section and the bits immediately either side of it. And of course I'll have to wait for warmer weather to make sure the gaps are correct, don't want buckled rails as soon as spring hits.
After seeing this was uploaded last night, I actually went out and ran my 0 gauge today. I tried my dapol 57xx, but one crankpin was missing, so that's sidelined yet again (it's my newest of the 3 locos I have, and have barely run it more than simply running in). I ran my 08 with my latest wagons (2 parkside 21t hoppers, a parkside GWR van wagon, and a dapol 14t tanker), then loaded up all of my wagons behind it to see how well it works. It hauls them well going forwards, but in reverse I get loads of derailments. Note to self, don't run such long rakes until the whole thing is a loop...
Top tips there, many thanks!
Blimey Rich, I was beginning to wonder if Lulu had accidentally buried you in the garden and forgotten about you 😜 Great to see some progress and always interesting to see maintenance in progress on a garden set up! That solder paste looks rather interesting I must say 🤔 The station building is awesome, but I can’t help think it would be better on an over bridge as it is quite deep (a bit like a Great Central station with an island platform) 🤷🏻♂️
That shuttle is a great idea too…another reason to lure me into the dark side of DCC…eventually… 😅
Cheers mate, give Lulu a treat from us! 👍🍀 🖤
Hi Richard, great to see an update again. Congratulations on the new arrival, stay safe and well, regards Chris
Thanks Chris!
The music is absolutely magical.
Looking Great Richard , I love this layout 💯💯🙏🙏
First of all, congratulations on the new born. Secondly excellent video and progress is coming on well. Thirdly I did send a request/message to you on FB. Take care for now. Anita. XX
Try sending again Anita!
Awesome video Richard garden railway looks absolutely fantastic looking forward to seeing your next one. Hope you and the wife and the new arrival are all well. Was nice to meet you again at the gets weekend 👍. Now when is the new oo gauge new junction going to be shown and shared with your fellow UA-camrs and Facebook group members.
The hobby is moving on at pace, as is your garden railway. Excellent camera footage and editing. You have a lovely manner and superb presentation skills. I real pleasure to watch - thank you for sharing.
Many thanks for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed the video!
That has really come on Richard and the automated system is another great product from DCC Concepts. Also excellent buildings from Tris and they have given you a nice station area . Looking forward to the next installment and nice to chat to you at GETS.
Cheers Kev
Thanks Kev, great to see you too!
Really Enjoyed your Video!!!
Congrats Richard and family! Thanks for the vid
Thanks and you're very welcome! 😊
The lawn viewed from above shows just how thirsty conifers are.
Very! Especially back end of summer.
Ahh..The things you can get in the 21st Century for model railways..but still need an elastic band. lol. Great stuff Richard the two models looked amazing..as did the layout. All the best.
Cant beat a good olde elastic band lol
The garden railway is coming along nicely. Those buildings that OONeal has made for you look great. I have a 3d printer now and it has printed a load of new models and accessories for me to paint. I am look for a DC shuttle unit for my branchline so that i can run trains and not worry about the branch apart from where it crosses the main lines. Good luck with the rest of the garden layout. Martin. (Thailand)
Thanks Martin!
Congratulations on the new addition Richard. I just hope the Mrs, or gaffer, didn't have kittens when you pushed the pushchair away! Hopefully you'll have an indoor layout, OO gauge, for the kid to enjoy one day!
Hi Richard hope you yours are well.
Enjoyed this video. The automation of the layout was very interesting indeed.
Regards ….. Steve 👍
Thanks Steve!
Looking forward to it Richard hope your well mate ,Mark 👍🏻😊
Cheers Mark, all good this end ta
Congratulations
Would be good to get an update on your garden layout now the weather is improving ☺️
Good info, very nice,
Good job. It looks fab Richard
Thanks
So impressive, so inspiring, brilliant
Thanks Ian, very kind!
Glad to see another video. Your garden railway is coming together. Saw you at the Great electric train show but the other half rushed me along so I couldn't say hi. Keep up the awesome content.
Next time come and say Hi, be great to meet you and the boss lady haha
Terrific opening shot and fabulous vistas. Here in Toronto we would need to dig 4’-0 down to get below the frost line otherwise it would lift in the spring.
I am guessing you don’t run trains in inclement weather?
Well done Richard👍
Cannot wait to see the next update for you 😁
Won't be long 😅
Wow not seen the progress for a while...looking superb...Great work..
Take care jim...
Thanks Jim!
Nice video, I joined the premiere as soon as it ended lol, watched it from the beginning and really enjoyed, good work 👍
Many thanks!
Huge congratulations on the new arrival mate ! Kiss goodbye to the railway now for 18 years lol - speaking as a father of three it’s taken 14 years to get my layout lol
Haha I hope not!
Hi Richard great that your progressing so well with the layout, just a little tip i have found useful try putting some solder on to rail first then melt your jumper wire into the solder on the track. Can;t wait for your next update Regards Alan
Thanks Alan!
A bigger tip on the iron to dissipate the heat and the ironed turned up to 11 would also help, as would touching the rail at the same time as the wire. In and out quickly is the way, as it would seem you have learned in another area!
@@mikewhitchurch387 thanks Mike
Awwwwwww well done mate in contaminating your dear wifie and producing
a mini me 😆 Seriously tho, congratulations Richard 😎
Many thanks pal!
Nice O gauge class 37 👍👍👍😃😃
A Julian Lane special!
Thanks Richard, a pleasure to see it gracing your garden. 👍🏼
Use needle nose pliers when soldering short pieces of wire. Not only will it stop you from hurting your fingers, you'll get a better join because you can hold the wire parallel to the rail and where you put the flux.
Top tip there thanks
Hi Richard, awesome video mate as usual and congratulations on your new addition to the family 👍😀🎉. Me and my wife are expecting our first baby as well 🙂.
Ha, enjoy it but get the lay ins now haha
@@NewJunction I certainly am as I've just got up at 10:10 lol
Very good!
Thanks Gary!
Nice progress, now I suppose that when you built your station area you wished you made your base boards a little wider. I also thought as you were showing the Arial view of the layout a compleat circuit would have been a good idea. Keep up the good work.
Hindsight is an amazing thing haha
Lulu with the ball. Her very own shuttle system
Yep haha
Hi Richard. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I was a bit surprised you didn't show anything of the installation of the shuttle system.

Great video Richard the DRS 37 looks like a decent model, just want to ask when are we going to see you doing your new OO layout though it has been a fair amount of time.
One thing at a time, says my purse strings haha 😄
Blimey I didnt know Triss had designed a station building, he did the station halt and lineside hut for me and they are really good. Good stuff just need some nice weather to play Andy
Ha, nice weather will be a thing of the past now!
Great stuff looks pucker
Cheers pal
Absolutely superb as always. Given me even more inspiration to set up garden railway. Say hello to Lulu for me such a star.
Will do!
Very nice
Thanks
Loved the video richard especially your dog running you ragged!!... Was going to ask if you was to continue your OO layout... Obviously answered that question.. hope to see you at NEC if your attending all the best
The NEC isn't going ahead this year 😪
@@NewJunction when did they cancel? As i'm sure it was on when i went GETS..
@@tonycarrington1 before GETs sadly, www.thewarleyshow.co.uk/
@@NewJunction well thanks for letting us know i will just sit in the loft that weekend then hahahah hope too see more regular uploads soon all the best richard
few kinks in those tracks , looks like my Railroads Online save file haha
Yep haha
Hi Richard,
Now that's a good excuse for not uploading for a while a new baby many congratulations to you both, so the next thing is when are you going to buy the first starter set Hornby of course!!!This was interesting and really liked the Hovermotion 2000 view from the drone they are becoming very clever holding the height or perhaps it was Lulu doing it but looked good. Nice view from the Go Pro and as the O gauge is so big no trouble placing it the right way round. So now into the garage for NJ 2 will await in anticipation to see what you do. Keep safe and well all of you as Norfolk is a bit of a hot spot for covid.
Cheers Robert.
I don't live in Norfolk? Orher wise thanks Robert!
@@NewJunction I am sorry could it perhaps be Lincolnshire instead a lot safer. I will understand if you decide not to confirm we do not want all you adoring fans invading do we. Cheers Robert.
@@robertstrainset6556 Leicestershire 😉
@@NewJunction So my bit of detective work ie. Key Publishing based in Lincolnshire so its logical you may reside there never mind at least when sea rise with global warming takes me out you and your family will be safe bring on the summit next month and we will see what happens!! Hope where you live is as covid free as Lincolnshire keep safe and well.
Cheers Robert..
Love your setup and thanks for the information can you make a video using DPU with your locomotive thanks again
Hi Richard, nice work, you raise some good points.
Also you might want to spray WD40 on the fishplates as they will wear out prematurely with current through them. WD40 helps maintain a sliding expansion gap too.
Best practice for DCC dictates a BUS with droppers, but in the garden, even if sleeved with brass tubes and, prior treatment of wood preservative etc, drilling holes in the wooden board's ain't great. Thus jumpers are the next best thing - the debate re stranded or solid wire etc still rages. If using jumpers then stay alive decoders and meticulous track cleaning is required as nickel silver, over a distance and over time isn't the best conductor, it can be done though as long as one is careful re voltage drop etc. Or one can plump for RC instead 🤔🤔🤔😉😉😉👍
Lovely and huge garden, you could get a lot of railway in there!👍👍👍😊😊😊😆😆
Interesting about the shuttle too - DCCC are very good at uptaking such facilities, others less so.
AND bless you both for keeping each other safe and well, people seem to think we are SARS2 free, it's still here and still an unpleasant force to be reckoned with.
Thanks, lots of good tips! I think I'll explore RC next 😉
@@NewJunction I am, a couple of guys I know use sound decoders too with RC - I'm not using sound, but have settled on DelTang type equipment from Micron. Semiconductors were in short supply across a lot of industries though, so patience is required. Get in touch if you need any help👍😊👍
@@musoseven8218 could you message the New Junction Facebook page?
@@NewJunction I'll try I'm not a big Facebook user so bear with me 👍😆😆😆
Good quality long nose pliers would help a lot
Have you considered a Turn Table at the end of the lone...?
Great update Richard and I am going to be having a garden railway but in OO Gauge which garden railways are brilliant
What an awesome railway. Curious, how well does the track & rails stand up to being outside? Is corrosion an issue?
Great update! Did you make a decision/change regarding your 2-6-4T (that kept derailing), or has the loop realignment solved the problem?
It did solve the issue but I decided to trade it in for a sound fitted Heljan Prairie tank
Instead of dcc you should look at battery power, no need to clean the track. I have a outdoor layout and have converted to battery power.
Get 3 to 4 hours of train time. Cheers. Ron//
Looking into that for sure!
Hi Richard,
Did you concrete your support post in the ground or use met posts.
Duncan. Great video by the way .
Great to see progress on the garden railway, although every time I see you working on it I look at my own garden and find myself being tempted by o gauge once again. Congrats on the little one and thanks for the DCC concepts section, that just might do me for what I’m looking for.
Its worth getting in touch with them, they have loads of goodies. 😊
And I hope you travelled on our lovely ex GE MK3's to settle ;)
Is there any other way!
How will you be operating the head shunt on dcc?
All the videos Iv seen on block sections dont explain the coaches/wagons occuping the station block section when it comes to backing back onto the front of the train. As far as I can tell the section would be occupied so the dcc wont allow a locomotive to re enter the section having changed ends.
Looks like a set of stunt hands doing the sawing but coming on well.
Busted haha
Will you be returning to any Garden Railway videos later in 2023 at all?
Eventually, bit cold at the moment hehe
@@NewJunction GREAT! - I look forward to warmer times (for railway updates AND for not having to defrost the car in the morning!!!)
Are you regretting using overlapping felt for the trackbed as it is giving you a switchback effect?, the guards van views are like being at Alton Towers!
Ha nooo, although it would look better, I'd rather have better surface waterproofing
Does it not bother you that you don’t have a continuous loop? Or is that intentional?
This has been a really inspiring and excellently produced series of videos! I’m in the process of starting a g scale garden layout and this has really spurred me on!
A full loop would be better but beggers can't be choosers 😁
Lulu spend about 200 % of the energie required for the production of this video......:-)
and your music "track" suits your "rustical" american style trackwork very well......haha....
i do enjoy watching your videos.....
Keeps me entertained if nothing else lol
Fantastic , will Done . Were is the best place to get a lot of o gauge track ? I’ve a massive project going ahead ext year the (woodhead line ) my house is above the woodhead tunnel
I got mine from my local model shop 'Tony's Trains in Rugby'
Has the dog ever been tempted to return the train ? D.C.C. “Dog Collection Company”. Would have saved lots of track. 😉
Ha luckily not!
Stay healthy
Question: why these missing sleepers between rail sections? No way to close those gaps?
nice vid , could you tell me how far will one transformer travel as looking to do one in my garden . thanks
So far I've found mine works the whole way round.
What do you think of the LBSC E2 class steam locomotive? I agree it wasn't perfect but also don't think it deserves the hate it gets
I have never seen o gauge track with out the the rail in the middle but this is cool also what brand is the track and the engine
Its all Peco track 😊
Oh thank you
Richard have you looked at battery powered locos I run my On30 with it and love it
Yes, thats the next step
u should make another station when the first one is done
I may do that 😁
hello Richard Harvey here two questions will you be at the statfold barn railway model event and will there be a part 6 to the garden railway
Both a possibly at this stage! I'm focusing on the OO gauge layout at the moment and it's a bit nippy outside lol. Summer will have me out the garage mind you!
@@NewJunction ok good to hear so when I see you at statfold barn then
