My steam hauled wagon record is 104, which wasn't a full loop of Ashbrooke Central. Motive power was my DJH A2/2 60505 Thane of Fife, although I believe if I used a diesel I could run more. I think I've had a bachmann 25 haul a couple more, but the china clay hoods I used in that test kept derailing so I don't believe I videoed it.
wow.. now your rolling stock is much smaller than ours, but I have only managed 42 cars with 3 locos doing the work. I do have that 3 level helix on my layout, so makes it a bit harder on the locos. very nice video .
Well it is quite an achievement and yes it does prove that you have a fair number of wagons. I guess the biggest Garratt made was the New South Wales Government Railways AD60 class Garratt with was a 4-8-4+4-8-4 wheel arrangement and the last one of those locos was withdrawn from service at Broadmeadow Yard in Newcastle in 1972.
G'day Jenny, ,I just came across your remarkable video and achievement. An excellent sound model in HO is available from Eureka Models in Australia of the NSWGR AD60 mentioned here. Brass versions have also been built and are heavy. The plastic Eureka version couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding but sounds and looks great. Years ago a Roco 2 10 0 with a heavy tender 4axle drive pulled 50 bogie goods around a slight grade but the curves tested the couplings, kd's, and tipping followed with extra wagons. THE Eureka website will show this fine looking model to uninitiated.cheers john
I've done a scale mile in 'N' gauge , but the train had a 6 axle and a 4 axle diesal at the front nnd a little 4 axle swicher in the middle. Max grades on main are 1 in 40 ,Min curve 15 inch's (transition curve's) After all that we'll done Jennifer, but how long was the train . P Kinsey
Wow amazing Jenny, it's a testament to your track laying, bit of fun must have taken ages to assemble that amount of wagons, you stay safe, see you on the next one Eddy xx
That's fantastic Jenny. Thanks for sharing. Someone needs to make a U1 now - let's see what that could haul!! How about trying the same amount of wagons with a 'Big Boy'? Alan.
Hello Jenny. Nice to see the Garratt at work. On the subject of lengthy OO Scale trains, on the channel "Australia1957t", on clip #243, a Garratt lifts 136 wagons up a 1:90 incline, on clip #237 two Garratts haul 171 wagons, on a clip called "Take Two, English Electric Locos at Work" 250 wagons are on the move and finally, on clip #145 two 8Fs are banked by another pair of 8Fs with 281 wagons in between, making it 25.12 m long or a scale length of 1.2 miles.
Very impressive haulage power and that the 142-wagon consist fitted precisely around the Wear Yard loop. It's also amazing that they all stayed on the track (some trucks are too lightweight and don't seem to like being pushed - those tension-lock couplings don't help... )
The max on my layout is 25 because that's the most my strongest working engine can pull. This is because my fleet is staffed with about 6 0-4-0s, a couple grouping era 0-6-0s, and a terrier. Which is an older Hornby terrier so I don't dare go over about 10 wagons and a brake for that one.
A nice idea and 142 wagons, impressive, but one little mistake the Beyer Garratt is two engines in one and even in model form, it has two electric motors, therefore in effect, it was double-heading as one loco. Martin. (Thailand) I love your collection of LNER wagons. I do not have any covered Vans. On the auction site, most of them have no roofs. Where do they all go?.
Think I've seen something like this in 1:1.. (on my way to an appointment- naturally) While idling at a crossing gate- counting the cars go by, I could SWEAR that I saw the same loco pass (in the same direction) 2 or 3 times! :) I'm a big fan of the Beyer Garratt; and though sadly they never made it in here in the US, I do hope to model a small (2-6-0+0-6-2) as if ALCo was successful in marketing them. Thanks again for the great demonstration!
funny isn't it: at roughly 45g per wagon the entire train is around 6.3kg which is the equivalent of a bit over 2 prewar Lionel state cars and with astronomical rolling resistance, tinplate flanges and axles and 19" radius curves, the 1929 Lionel transcontinental set had 4 of 'em. so I'm guessing 142 wagons is good?
What an amazing feat! I'm imagining 142 trucks in a box and picking it up and the weight! Great video and testament to your track-work and care of the rolling stock. That locomotive must have some weight to it to hold firm on the track. I really enjoyed that, now come along Sam, beat that? lol
Hi Jenny, Yes very impressive hauling power there. Some of the US HO modellers also have some huge train lengths on their layout, but not sure of the exact number of cars..........I've only seen them on RUclips not in person. I was going to suggest using the crossover to double the train length possible, but see below someone already suggested that idea. Could you please let me know where to find the link to Zoe's email so I can send my video URL for the Monday Club, I seem to have forgotten where I saw it...................Best regards Dave.
Wow well done. I did notice an annesley coach. My dear old father in law used to be a driver based out of annesley . The tales he used to tell us. So funny.
OMG. I bet Jenny you have NOW got the Makers Wondering how many it might be able to go up to. Good Job Girl. I believe they are going for a "N" gauge. If so I might be there in the queue.
Hi Jenny. Truly amazing! I must get one: the shopping list just gets longer and longer! Love all your wonderful films. Thank you also for the uplift offer with Rails. I took advantage and was well pleased. A great shop to deal with but dare not look at my account! Stay safe. Chris Moss
Hi Jenny. What are the dimensions of your layout as it can be deceiving on video. Judging by the length of that train I am guessing 20' x 20' or thereabouts..
Well that just shows your layout is too small! A nice slant on a bit of model railway fun and a delightful procession of wagons. It's an amazing model and feat of modern mass production, precision engineering and detailing too - all too often taken for granted. Stephen
Well done. Rather than quoting the number of cars in the train, what is the scale length of the freight cars in this train. There was a Lionel O-scale (1:48) train on April 30, 2016 that was 110 ft. long (i.e., 1 scale mile) being pulled on an outside track that is about 2.5 scale miles long including some 2.1% grades, but that was pulled by 3 big boys, not a single engine. See ruclips.net/video/q672YB7Hxbc/видео.html
Hi Jenny. A bit of channel advice. I would recommend dedicating the channel exclusively to the railway models. Then i would create a secondary channel with vlogs or "Jennycams" on your life. Also, I would replace your intro with railway related pictures and videos. Thanks for reading.

By the way they used to double head these monsters!
I’d hate to have been stuck at a crossing waiting for that train to clear 😆! Nice piece of music too.
Quite a feat Jenny and testament to the running qualities of your wagons, back to backs and couplings.

That was a really great video, it was fun and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for making it 😊
Wow amazing Jenny, it's a testament to your track laying, bit of fun must have taken ages to assemble that amount of wagons, you stay safe, see you on the next one Eddy xx
It didn’t take too long, to be honest but it was nice to get all those wagons out and running as a single train.
That's fantastic Jenny. Thanks for sharing. Someone needs to make a U1 now - let's see what that could haul!!

Surprised it pulled 142 wagons! When it was slowing down I thought to myself... more power Scotty! But it was a nice experiment.
The max on my layout is 25 because that's the most my strongest working engine can pull. This is because my fleet is staffed with about 6 0-4-0s, a couple grouping era 0-6-0s, and a terrier. Which is an older Hornby terrier so I don't dare go over about 10 wagons and a brake for that one.

Great Stuff Jenny great pulling power

Well done Jenny. Can’t believe what I’ve just seen. Amazing.
100 and it's a Williamson - you can guess why that makes me so happy!! Amazing power - does it have traction tyres??? Either way that is superb!
No traction tyres.
funny isn't it: at roughly 45g per wagon the entire train is around 6.3kg which is the equivalent of a bit over 2 prewar Lionel state cars and with astronomical rolling resistance, tinplate flanges and axles and 19" radius curves, the 1929 Lionel transcontinental set had 4 of 'em. so I'm guessing 142 wagons is good?

I received mine a couple of days ago. It's still in the box at the moment.

Amazing. And you still have waggons to spare in the yard!
Wow well done. I did notice an annesley coach. My dear old father in law used to be a driver based out of annesley . The tales he used to tell us. So funny.
Great video Jenny.I bet it took some jigging about to get the correct spacing.Keep safe and well
It be crazy to see a double heading of these Garrett Locomotives in OO
Amazing video Jenny...but..next test. see how many" loaded" wagons it can pull. Maybe wagons loaded with ballast for e.g. Take care.
OMG. I bet Jenny you have NOW got the Makers Wondering how many it might be able to go up to.
Good Job Girl.
I believe they are going for a "N" gauge. If so I might be there in the queue.

Nice one Jenny very impressive i must say..
You should be able to go all the way round to a point then onto another line and round again
Hi Jenny. What are the dimensions of your layout as it can be deceiving on video. Judging by the length of that train I am guessing 20' x 20' or thereabouts..
142 Wagons! WOW. Sams Trains are you watching, Challenge accepted?
17 Wagons (my entire freight fleet) behind my 8F.
For a follow up I wonder about using the crossover to corkscrew the train past itself so I can extend it.
Jennifer E. Kirk film it and keep it in your pocket in case anyone accepts the challenge then you can come straight back at them!
Well that just shows your layout is too small! A nice slant on a bit of model railway fun and a delightful procession of wagons. It's an amazing model and feat of modern mass production, precision engineering and detailing too - all too often taken for granted. Stephen
Hi Jenny great experiment would yo you say it was pulling all wagons or pulling half and pushing the other
Nice!
I hope you Loco shunted the wagons and no hand in the sky
Amazing! Well done!
Wow! Amazing!
Awesome Jenny 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍 WOW awesome video I'm watching enjoy it too pretty awesome ❤️❤️ good job Jenny
Can you please do a video of what is the smallest wagon chassis today previously it was a old hornby wagons chassis but what's the one today
Not sure if it's the longest but still very long
Seen this vid of a class 50 pulling 48 intercity coaches
Wow good jobs. How do you have all this wagons?
I've eaten sosijis that were longer than that
Gosh that's rediculous 🎉🎉🎉
Wow
Well done. Rather than quoting the number of cars in the train, what is the scale length of the freight cars in this train.
