Stone work, rip rap, ballast and track work are out of this world. The wood work for the trestles, bridges are fantastic. This is what happens when you catch a real bad case of Rail-Fever. Few recover, or want to.... Great work. A One-Man MOW gang?

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The plants between and along the rails is chickweed. It’s horrible when it gets in your yard. But when it came up on the tracks I thought it looked pretty cool so decided to leave it. It kinda looks like the kudzu that grows here in the south, often along the railroads.

Have you talked to your grandkids yet? They must’ve liked this garden train a lot. If so, what do they think about my idea with that toy Back To The Future Delorean? Doing an re-enactment of the train scene from the 3rd BTTF movie?

@cbt1960

Not about the Delorian but they do love the trains.

Love your channel, my late uncle had a setup that took up a full room but he had to sell when an inlaw moved in. I would have inherited it had that not happened, I'd like to see you recreate the great locomotive chase, with track and on board cams, I've seen one of the trains here in Georgia the one in Marietta.

It’s a nice locomotive for sure. Getting the battery in the tender along with the CVP G4X and Soundtraxx card wax a challenge for sure.

It would be cool if you had a miniature Delorean on train wheels. And did an re-enactment train ride scene from Back to the Future Part III. Seem cool to you?

I have the first generation of this locomotive. Need some time to replace the worm gear. Which version is yours? I have also modified mine to dead rail. Currently it’s CVP AirWire with a Soundtraxx decoder. Also have a WOW Sound decoder. Lastly, also have the Bluami decoder too. Will be repainting mine to the Lilly Belle of the WDWRR.

@cbt1960

Mine is the latest version that is supposed to have the metal gear. I love the locomotive but there wasn’t much room in the tender for a larger battery so the run time isn’t great and it’s not a very good puller. But man it sounds and looks great when it’s on the rails. Thanks for watching and I’ll look forward to see you locomotive on KZread soon!!
