There is so much about this, where do I start ? If you have the cash and the space, it just shows what can be done but the time to build it ! Glad I dont have to clean the tracks. Best layout Ive ever seen
My outdoor layout is a little oval of Mamod track with a little Mamod locomotive and two carriages. But there again, I only own the patio outside my patio door!!
Absolutely superb, nothing I can say will really do justice to the fantastic quality of work and dedication that has clearly gone into creating this masterpiece of model engineering.
Time + money + uncontrollable hobby = this layout……the man has completely lost it………did he used to be married ? has he spent all his retirement money ? O beauteous O gauge . I am speechless . Thank you for showing. .
Dumb question. I am an inside O Scale Model Railroader, but does this stay up year round in the different weather elements? If so, how does it not get trashed by the weather?
What a truly beautiful garden layout..... To be honest with you, I'm absolutely bloomin speechless.. Fantastic, just fantastic.... Very therapeutic to watch and well done..
Hi, O Gauge in the garden, not something I normally watch, OO gauge being more my thing. However I have to say your railway is truely outstanding and a great effort has gone into building it all. I do like your sweeping trackwork, especially the points, very realistic indeed. I want to watch more now, so I am going to subscribe and follow the layouts progress, if that's ok. Great stuff, all the very best Dave.
What if it rains outside? Is this layout permanently setup? Does somebody quickly throw a tarpaulin over it when it rains? Have squirrels and pigeons ever climbed/landed on the tracks?
It's permanently setup outside. Some of the buildings are removeable and the signal and other structures have covers for when they're not in use. Pigeons can be an issue.
@@gardenogauge if it begins to rain unexpectedly, does that not interfere with the electrics in the track? And would be hard to wipe it all dry surely?
Reality scaled down ! Absolutely BREATHTAKING 👏👏 It doesn’t come any better than this! Could watch and admire for hours… PURE art in anyone’s eyes.. A gift for us to share .. world wide. This viewer from Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺
Simply incredible. As others have said, you should be very proud. I for one am in awe. Not just of the layout but everything you must do to keep it running and maintained. Thank you for posting and sharing with us.
Four tracks always looks so good, just like the real thing used to be. A labour of love to produce a layout as good as this, and being O gauge will look as realistic as you can ever get in railway modelling. 🙂👍
Blimey! What struck me as an ex track engineer, was the excellent track geometry, Very impressive. I noticed a couple of spots where algae had settled in the shaded areas, so might be tempted to spray a solution of “Patio Magic” to control it? Would test a small area first though!
It tends to clear up when the weather warms up but thank you, the comments regarding the track geometry will be greatly appreciated by the gentleman that built all the track
Yes there's a huge amount of engineering gone into, with the exception of some of the rolling stock being kit built everything else is scratch built including the control system for the locos and signalling
On the first circuit I was going to comment about thr pristine track work, then I noticed the signals, lineside buildings, bridges, staging supports and in door station. The qualiity and detail of the work is outstanding. Congratulations and well done.
Second time round on the second run was more like, even the tone of the motor is just like the real thing and the speed had me thinking we are on the real thing. going along clickity clack, clickity clack. I think you should have sound effects in your loco, they are big enough so you should be able fix up something. Third run now, did we come out different? oh don't forget your PA system; DING DONG will passengers get ready at platform two, the Train for Blackpool south will arrive in 3 mins. Well I've got to say I enjoyed travelling with Train around Deepdale, hope to join you again soon ✔✔😃😃
I would love to see what’s going on inside the shed! Looks like some serious track & point work that deserves to be seen Thanks in anticipation Ps I found one Up Main through DeepDale But a more in-depth view would be nice
Those trestles look an amazing feat of engineering. Guessing they are constructed of galvanised steel, which on a railroad of this scale and magnitude must have been very expensive! Thank you very much for taking the time to record, edit and post. It is very appreciated.
Nice for running trains. I prefer to have a garden with a railway in it, not a garden full of railway. Nice track work and fittings though. Very well done if you like this way of operating. I suppose we are all different in what we like. A good thing really.
The owner bought the house specially for building this railway 🙂 My own railway is as you describe. They both have their pros and cons ua-cam.com/video/BnM4X7Gcr2M/v-deo.htmlsi=lGPNF5W7Z-xTp89g
That’s one seriously impressive garden railway. What other engines have you got? Would love to see a Class 37 and a Class 101 DMU running around on this.
@@gardenogauge That’s really cool seeing the class 37, one of the most iconic workhorses of british railways running around your magnificent garden railway. The cost of something like this would be well out of my budget ( I’ll just have to be happy with TSW4 😀) but I’m glad that things like this exist so we can all enjoy looking at it. Thanks for the link it was much appreciated. 👍🏻

@@gardenogauge That’s one cool railway layout as well. As good as your friends but in a different way. Amazing how you keep it looking so clean from the ravages of the British weather, Do you have to take the rolling stock in when it rains? What type of fuel is used out of interest? The Class 37 even has that Class 37 kind of sound. A wonderful hobby if you’ve got the time and money 👍🏻
They can't, the layout has a Laurel hedge round the front and has walls surrounding the other sides. The neighbours think it's great and have appeared briefly in some of the videos as they enjoy driving 🙂

That's because it's all designed to be removable and at a workable height for the owner.

Wow! The absolute dogs' doodahs, as they say.
One word - Stunning
Great backyard layout.
an impressive layout
Not a fan of European trains, but that trackwork is simply stunning. Well done layout.
Brilliant. 👍
Impressive amounts of money
inspiring :)
Dumb question. I am an inside O Scale Model Railroader, but does this stay up year round in the different weather elements? If so, how does it not get trashed by the weather?
It was designed to stay outside all year. The buildings and structures all have covers to protect them 🙂
Must be worth allot of money though
What a truly beautiful garden layout..... To be honest with you, I'm absolutely bloomin speechless.. Fantastic, just fantastic.... Very therapeutic to watch and well done..
Thank you and really glad you enjoyed it
Impressive trackwork, immaculate, what an undertaking. Thanks for sharing 👍😊✌️
What an absolutely sensational layout. You should be so proud of this truly amazing garden layout. Well done.
Wow, that is an absolutely stunning layout. Everything about it is so realistic. How long has it taken to build?
The main build has been over 2 years but some of the boards were pre-built before this
What an outstanding layout. I'm very impressed. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
I want to be your neighbour 😂

Beautiful! What brand of trains are these?
They're all hand built
Fantastic!
Love the hi-viz in the shed, just like the real thing!
That's because most of us have worked on the real thing, old habits die hard 🙂
fabulous trackwork....nice long trains
Wow fantastic, thanks for a great video of a great railway. Best wishes.
That track work is a masterpiece!!!
excelent
A lot of work has gone into this.
A fantastic layout one question: How do you keep the track clean? Do you have a cleaning wagon, or is it all done but elbow grease?? Rgds Alan 🚂 🚂
The track isn't kept clean 🙂
All the locos are battery remote controlled
Winner winner chicken dinner a lot of underrated hard work into those elevated baseboards
Thats impressive man
The videography looks like it’s being taken from on the train. Have you fitted a camera in the cab?
No, we have a camera mounted on a wagon that sits at the front of the train
I’m envious,superb layout
How large is your shed at the beginning of the video?
12m x 3m

But a more in-depth view would be nice
What would you like to see? I'll make a video on it
I am having something like this myself when I get my mansion in Fort Lauderdale. I will need to make it typhoon-proof though :).

Really realistic. Loads of men in orange jackets stood around doing nothing . Just like Network Rail
We aim for accuracy 😂
I was wondering if you have any issues with having the layout in the outside? Does the O gauge work the same way as smaller gauges?
What sort of issues are you worried about?
@@gardenogauge i've seen that the dcc wiring on regular oo layout is "a lot". I was wondering if O gauge is any different even being on the outside?
I have to run all of these videos at 2x speed, just because of how UA-cam has ruined 30 fps video for me now. It looks like a slideshow.
And they're all recorded at 2k 30 fps but as you say it's the UA-cam platform
