I had the privilege of seeing this layout in person this past summer (a friend introduced me to Judy and Paul as he knew I am into model railways). Unfortunately the buildings were not out (although I did get a glimpse of them in the storage shed), but Paul did run his steam locomotive around a few times for us. It's even more incredible in person! An amazing engineering feat with the raised sections and bridges set in an amazing landscaped garden that is the perfect backdrop to the trains.
It is one of the very best layouts I have had the opportunity to visit. I hope that you can get a hold of The Garden Railways issue which featured this layout as mentioned in the above note and description. Thank you for letting me know about your visit.
That landscaping is second to none. I like the way it's all elevated like it's on a big planter. Best of all, it's located in the woods with a seamless connection to mother nature despite being manmade per se. I'd love if my suburban backyard could have a garden railway that could look even half that good.
Thank you for comments. Yes the owner did a vary nice job and took the time to set it up. I enjoy everyone's garden builds as each one shows the owner's personality. So whether large or small, they all are a benefit to the hobby when shared with others.
I actually enjoy drawing my dream outdoor layout on graph paper, then draw in scenery, etc. it looks very similar to this in my head (I dream BIG, lol!!). So, yeah…. What you said! 👍🏼
Simply Outstanding !!!! Iove how you built everything easy to get too. And the track work and buildings are right up to the edge of the wall and all of the foiliage is in the background like an indoor layout. Great design ideal !!!!!
Fantasic Video Although i have seen it before i think it was on your channel ? i would never get tired of watching this superb Railway , the buildings , planting , trains ,track and even the backdrop ! Thanks for sharing Regards Graham
Yes, I do have the link to the original visit in 2016 to this layout in the text above.... I have included a few new views in this video. The shrubs certainly have matured to new heights. Thanks for viewing and nice comments. Peter.
I'd love to see this layout in person if I could find out where it is located. I'm am starting to build a little little layout where I live in Roseville CA and I think I have enough track for the plan that I have been figuring on for the past few months, since I have been living here. If everything goes well, I will have something for everyone here to enjoy seeing and we will be possibly able to expand on.
Thank you for your interest in this video and the layout. It is in Canada and is very remote. I posted above in the text that it has been featured in GARDEN RAILWAYS MAGAZINE in their June 2017 issue which details the location of this layout. Hope that you are able to find a back issue for that information. Sorry, I do not know if they will have any more invitational gatherings.
I love your raised layout. I am looking to build a raised layout with a retaining wall as well. Do you have any issues with rain water drainage? What steps if any did you take to address this?
Thank you for your interest in this video. This is actually not my layout so I do not have any data on its drainage but my layout at Deltatrains had Allen Block and I did not have any drainage issues on my setup. The good thing about Allen block is that it is loose fit or placed and not cemented and has the gaps needed to allow water to pass through. I had quite a bit of gravel under the tracks to keep water from pooling so you may consider doing that . Hope some of this helps.
Love it and the sensible kids....well done all....
Hopefully the future of the hobby. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful layout. It is inspirational.
Thank you for viewing and comment. Much talent in this garden setup for sure.
Thank you for sharing. I have always dreamed of building one myself but have never been able to, so I watch amazing videos like yours.
Absolument génial superbe magifique . Cela me redonne de l inspiration pour mon circuit . Merci pour le spectacle.
Merci d'avoir regardé et pour le gentil commentaire.
I think this has become my favorite layout. When I build mine I want it to be simular to this one.
I am glad to read that this layout has inspired you. Happy building your own layout. Hope to see it one day on You Tube.

I love this layout! There are even similar spots and sights to Ward Kimball's Grizzly Flats railroad.
Yes, LGB Trains did make a copy of Mr. Kimball's Chloe as shown at video time frame 15:54. Thank you for your interest in the video.

Thank you for your comment and for watching. I am also impressed with your concrete walls and waterfalls and steel bridges on your own layout. 👍
A great layout, and a beautiful garden railroad. Very nice locomotives and trains. I'm excited
Thank you. I will pass on your kind comment to the owner / builder.
What a great railway I love it Peter. You sure enjoyed yourself I presume.
Thank you Bram for nice comment. This is a very nice layout and very enjoyable to run on it.
