Hi Jonathan and congratulations for your state-of-the-art new layout! I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind: 1. are the tracks nailed or screwed on the elevated straight long section by the fence and on the wooden trestle? And 2. Are the switches all manual and why,, if this is the case ? Thanks and keep the great job going 👏👏👏
@@itadrummer1 the only places where the track is fastened are the bridges and anywhere there’s wood, ie., the helix, fort and turn around. All the switches are manual simply because there’s 135 of them! If there were 100% weather proof wireless option to remote control them I probably still wouldn’t do it simply because there’s so many. Not to mention sometimes small debris gets in the way of throwing the switch simply because they are out in the elements. Switching by hand allows the person switching them to make 100% sure they’re actually in the position they want them to be in!
Great running session. Really like the trestle work.
cant wait to see the weathered uboat
i feel like you did this vid for me.....lol.....love the highnoses.....thanks!!!!
That’s because highnose engines are the best.
You have some great garden railway trains and fantastic bridges there. Excellent filming.
