A note from Colorado: Thanks for the interesting video. I am very impressed with this AR line with lots of foliage and nicely built structures, and lots of great workmanship showing in the steam trains. Nicely done, you lucky Aussie steam fellas!
Wow! The most beautiful garden Ry i ever seen. And, the camera angles were highly professional, track view shots, and so on. Some of those miniature (bonsai?) trees are fantastically real looking. Like those can of peas of trees along the track too. 19 out of 20 score overall! 30 out of 20 for the garden n tracks and so w the filming. Nxt time, please weather the trains n buildings. Thumbs up n subscribed.
@schutendohkji548 Glad you liked it! The owner of that line seems to like to clean his models very thoroughly (I've ribbed him about it before!) so not much chance of weathering any time soon I'm afraid. We have a number of other nice lines on this channel as well so don't forget to check them out.
We have lots of fun here! Actually you can join: see ritg.org.au - it helps if you live in Australia, but if not search online for a garden railway club near you, there are plenty of us around.
Thank you, so glad you liked the video. 16mm scale is a great compromise: you can fit a railway in a suburban garden but still have real live steam, and it’s cheaper and lighter than the ride-on scales.
We will keep these places safe, don't worry. Many of us do not have the space - those of us, who do have them, share them with our other members and we all gather there to run our trains. Simple battery locos and rolling stock can be very cheap, live steam costs a little more but is cheaper bought as a kit. See www.roundhouse-eng.com/kits.htm
Hi there, this railway uses 32mm gauge, also known as Gauge 0, but we use a scale of 1:19, where one foot in real life is 16mm in the model (“16mm scale”) so the modelled gauge is equivalent to 2 feet, representing narrow gauge. This allows realistic tight radius curves which fit in a suburban garden whilst being big enough to use live steam locos (these use a fuel, such as butane gas or methylated spirits or even coal to boil water and drive cylinders by steam power).
Phenomenal! Real model steam locos in such a beautiful garden setting. In Hotham I imagine it snows in Winter too. Any snow footage? What special place you fellas have to play trains.
Sorry, no snow in Sydney (where this garden railway is located) but the station names evoke a fantasy extension of the old railway that ended at Bright and heads into the Victorian High Country where snow definitely would feature.
Lovely video of a very nice scenic railway
Many thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! The owner has put in plenty of effort so I’ll pass-on your compliments.

How country ❤❤❤ beautiful so much
Many countries are beautiful but we are very lucky in Australia. We like to make beautiful places in our gardens for others to enjoy. 💖💖💖
Lots of Old Men reliving their childhood. WHEN CAN I JOIN IN?
We have lots of fun here! Actually you can join: see ritg.org.au - it helps if you live in Australia, but if not search online for a garden railway club near you, there are plenty of us around.
+i thought this was a 7 1/4 inch railway until i saw a hand reach down to a carriage...awesome scenery

Whereabouts can this railway be found? Looks great.
Hi there, we are in Sydney, Australia (see ritg.org.au) but there are garden railway clubs all around the world …
Must really be scary for the passengers of these trains with all these giants roaming around! LOL
Surprisingly we haven't heard a peep from any of them! Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@SteamInYourGarden LOL😁
live steam is hot
Damn right, it’s such a great experience when you get it right. I’ll *never* go back to track power - all that track cleaning before a run, no thanks.
I love it I wish I had the room and money I hope this is hidden so vandal don't destroy it keep safe.

What gauge are those locos

@@SteamInYourGarden Ahh, that’s the story. Thanks for clearing up where you are.
where in Sydney is this garden railway? thank you
ritg.org.au
@franzbrunner499 if you’re in the area you’d be most welcome to join us, just reach-out to the club secretary via: secretary@ritg.org.au
"Land Of The Giants", perhaps! LOL
We get to be kings for a day.
@@SteamInYourGarden LOL😁
Nah it be normal as long you lay off the coke lol
Funnily enough you can burn coke to raise steam in our coal-fired locos and it works quite well (I may be thinking of a different coke though!).
@@SteamInYourGarden I wonder if it works with Pepsi! LOL (Coke - Pepsi.... get it?)
Why dont you have a derailment it would.make it more interesting.😊
Oh, don't worry, we have derailments! See ruclips.net/video/hfuLLuVaaPQ/видео.html
