Beyond amazing! Almost like the pyramids, Those tracks seem to have been there forever. Great effort!

22 seconds in and i like it already.

What a wonderful time I've had traveling just absorbing your train trundle around your garden! This really is a very effective way of slowing us all down, I think this simple kind of viewing is becoming more and more popular for good reason. Thank you for sharing. We film natural slow gopro walks through soulful cities but it's lovely to see someone just traveling around their garden.

Wow that's quite amazing, very impressive.

Absolutely marvellous, really enjoyed the ride

A lovely little railway. Wish I had space for that at my place!

A brilliant man for sure, just goes to show what can be achieved if you put your mind to it.

Wow that's awesome bro

That locomotive is so cute hehe

That really is an amazing piece of work :)

Very impressive I'm currently building my own garden railway

Wow. Very impressive, especialy the tunnel with following walls byside. Thats real a nice place. I build also a gauge next time. Some things are even done, next days i build the tracklines to lay down this in my atelier.

Excellent civil engineering. Great cutting and tunnel mouth masonry. Looks like a fun line. Like the tram road section too and that's a fine Woodstock!

Loverly, thank you for the ride..............

This is the best garden railroad layout ive ever seen, great work.

That is simply brilliant! This must of taken an age to construct. Im presuming the rails bars are off the shelf and then its a matter of laying on homemade sleepers?.. The idea of automated car window points is pure genius. This truly is the definition of "a labour of love" hats off to your dad. It would be great to get a look under the bonnet of the trains in the future.

We will definitely look around the train at some point, I think I'll wait until it's a little further along. Will be interesting, my dad is thinking of going hybrid (steam and electric!!!!!). I am not convinced...we will see.......

@easilydistracted6924

+petesplace55 i like the idea of hybrid! I take it hes thinking along the lines of a diesel electric but using steam to drive the generator? Or maybe some kind of solar powered / energy recovery stuff.... He clearly a very talented chap, I think he should have a crack at the first hydrogen cell train!

That is simply amazing! Did he build it himself? Surely he can't have! I now see where your ambition comes from.. And yes, in a race, I root BMW!

Wow!

Somebody where I live did something like this though I only ever saw the tracks at the front of their garden through their hedge. I never got to see the whole thing sadly.

Brilliant

Great artist!!!!!!

The loose gear makes it sound more realistic. Awesome train.

That's the beauty of being retired and nothing better to do, someone of my age and younger won't stand a chance, we will have to work until we drop. however you would be astounded at the budget side of things.

May we assume that the locomotive runs on batteries and not track power?

You should put your dog in the back seat with an conductor hat 😂

People need to buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel so I can build this and build a cat-cage car and have the cat be trapped on a moving train for the rest of its life. Why not lay the tracks in the house to every room, embed them even with the floor like streetcar rails, and then have the train run on gasoline spewing fumes into the house? What happens if James Grider were to lay a police officer's penis on the rails, could the train cut it off by running over it?

Hi - absolutely loved the video and the locomotive - It is a very lovely and scenic railway! I have a FB group for running small 3 1/2" and 5" Narrow Gauge locomotives on ground level (up to 18" in height) where members who have garden railways visit one another throughout the year - not unlike 16mm Narrow Gauge! Although the big baldwin that I see in the video might not fit into the small locomotive category of the group, however your little Diesel cafe racer will! Even if the locomotive is Standard Gauge our group might still be of interest to you. I have just started the group and would love for you to join us if it interests you: facebook.com/groups/SNGGLG/
