I must say that is the most overgrown and debris-strewn garden railways I've ever seen. Loved it!

what a little gem loved it the smiling giant was special

The overgrown track really gives you a feeling of being on a trolley line. Love it! It’s overgrown, but it’s still manageable and that’s the amazing thing about model railroading is that people get so creative in this hobby is so many different ways.

Superb. Has the sort of backdrop scenicking us indoor HO scale layout operators dream of. 6:55 VR Curve Board - nice touch.

This Tramway set up is just fantastic. Thanks for uploading the video.

Really great layout! I love the overgrown track, reminds of my garden railroad! It is interesting how the pantoraphs are not damaged by the vegetation. I like your railroad style!

well, most wood around the catenary was removed to prevent pantograph damage.

Love the last-second route correction at 7:04.

That giant car ornament at the end is a ripper.

What a wonderfully ramshackle garden railway, so different from those pristine fussy ones you usually see this one looks like a working railroad for fairies.

The sounds from this video are just as entertaining as the visuals. Thanks!

Thank you for this video, seems to be a nice railway. Love the sounds of the chickens (4:05). It seems the track maintenance gang has been on vacation recently, time to get them to work gain, LOL

What a Great railroad - tramway. I really like the way you made the wiremesh tunnels. Great job keep it up.

I like these outdoor train layouts. I save the videos so I can watch them again. Good job.

I was transfixed. What a wonderful world you have created. The line side objects were great fun. It's a real Lilliputian world.

Thanks Joachim, I am not the builder of this line but I do live nearby. We have had a few small fires in the area but luckily nothing too major yet. The sky is still orange with smoke however!

Pretty cool that its actually powered off the overhead wire! I thought it was just for looks until that break in the line

If I hadn't known the location, I would have sworn it was up in the Northern Terrtories. Excellent! Fooled me!

Одна з найбільш екзотичних моїх подорожей. Респект!

Excellent video and very relaxing. I especially enjoyed the chicken sounds. Thanks !!!

wow amazing tramway !

I really enjoyed the ride....

Absolutely outstanding!! Love it

This is very impressive, a great accomplishment. Must have taken thousands of man hours.

Beautiful.

Absolutely splendid. Highway Men, Kookaburras, Thorn- Oil Vines. No track side kitties begging for the White- Man's 10-80 treat packets. More !

4:16 You need to mount a machete on the front of the engine. Also in this scale .... The eggs from those giant chickens are something else. One egg could feed a family of 30 for a week .

Neat layout, could do with a map to show length of track etc and your location, been to Melbourne several times - but never heard of your 'tramway'. Give regards to Chloe (in Young & Jacksons), Cheers, Will Anderson. Wirral, UK.

If i didn`t know better, this is like a journey through a prehistoric landscape. I`ve just got a fertile imagination.

Con mejor cuidado de las vias y un poco mas de decoracion pero animales y demas estaria precioso la verdad aun asi está super chulo te felicito ojala algun dia pueda tener uno

I’m mystified how the train was able to stay on the tracks with all that overgrowth.

Very impressive- hate to think how long it takes to clear the line before a run. That must be one heavy loco not to derail through the undergrowth!

@Taitset

4 жыл бұрын

Usually running is frequent enough that not much needs to be cleared. Just the occasional landslip caused by rabbits!

Really enjoyed the ride. Must be a full time job keeping the rails clear of overgrowth and debris. Have you had many derailments?

@Taitset

4 жыл бұрын

Most of the rollingstock in use is quite heavy and just pushes through the vegetation, and in summer most of the weeds die back anyway, so there's not actually too much work involved.

Fantastic! I'd be very interested to know please how you constructed the overhead through the tunnels . . especially on curved sections.

@Taitset

3 жыл бұрын

The overhead in the tunnels is made from HO scale code 100 rail. However I'm just a frequent visitor to the line, for specific questions about construction I'd suggest asking Alexander on his channel here: kzread.info/dron/US5FZ5EpoLrjbQNIWIOb8g.html

There are some skinks that hang around the depot, and there have been occasional snake sightings. Rabbits hang out in the tunnels sometimes!

This is very nice without the fake buildings and people. The only thing that caused me to lose focus were the red and blue wirings. Good job!

Fantastic model! How did he ever build and wire the tunnels? And how does he keep it running in all the weeds?

@Taitset

The tunnels are all built by cut-and-cover. Tunnels 1 and 2 both have an access hatch in the middle for dealing with derailments and maintenance issues. The weeds actually pose very few issues, most of the rollingstock is very heavy and just pushes through.

nice nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent cab view. How long is the track and what is your operating voltage?

Indeed this is a very different Eltham! Like many locations in Australia it was named after the one in the UK. However we pronounce it differently here - we say the 'th' soft like in 'health.'

The only one thing that has me dissatisfied with these ride along's Is the fact that the owner of the layout doesn't show what the train looks like

To be honest that's often because the train used for filming is a specialised setup to carry the camera. On this particular run the camera was loaded on a flatcar being propelled by a Swiss electric railcar.
