My wife's just pointed out that of the four British hobbies/passions, you've got three of them - dogs, gardening and model trains. All you need now is a reenactment society! Great work, looking forward to seeing the station
Good to see your update Richard, I have a 00 garden railway and I'm a retired garden railway builder, I'm always pleased to see the hobby move outdoors, a good way of compensating for the felt overlap is to put the felt/roofing felt under the track and adjust its thickness at the overlap, it also acts as a good shoulder when you ballast on top of it, I also never go tighter than a 4th radius on curves, your dog can also be trained to keep off the tracks as I have a 19 weeks old Jack Russell puppy and she already knows her limits LOL, keep up the good work Richard and looking forward to your next update.
Every railway real or model is refined over time; sometimes you have to get it running to know what issues it has. Keep up the excellent work. Oh and I love the use of rolling stock to hold your hardware and little bits as you were working. A genuine work train in action.
Hi, Great video, Thanks for posting. If you want my 2 cents, I think if you put just a little more effort in your track work by shimming here and there and use a level and straight edge, and maybe a few track templets, you will be able to run your brass kit engines. All locomotives have a minimum radius and you will find over time with an outdoor railroad your track will always be moving. Heat and cold, rain and snow will always be a continuous foe. I have an outdoor layout and have learned that it requires a lot more work than I first thought, I really enjoy mine, but if I could, would rather have it indoors ( if space permitted ). It's still a great hobby, no matter how you slice it ! ....... Thanks, George
what a superb update...notable highlights..one man and his dog show..brilliant...that right leg you need to get insured!! bird doo doo!!! the sax music is back ..brilliant...but the best bit for me was watching that lovely terrier go around absolutley wonderful and watching that is for me what makes this hobby so great!! brilliant brilliant update thanks for sharing!
If you'll put some superelevation in your curves, you'll probably be pleasantly surprise how much better the bigger engines take those curves. Like the layout. Love the dog!! ...Claude
Very nice to see the layout reaching full circle, love the section along the side of the garden where it really blends in. I've also completed my own O gauge garden layout and this is now a complete branchline through my garden, I've got a fair amount of videos on my channel. Everything has already been fitted with feed wires and a complete Dcc bus system underneith the board. Having this controlled remotely via WiFi really makes the experience worth while! Keep up the good work, looking forward to it.
Great video Richard, good to see Lulu too. Looking forward to see some BR blood and custard teaks behind that A4 of yours, its looks stunning, all the best
Richard, I really enjoyed watching you work on your garden railway. Being a collector, I don't like the thought of moving things on. So, I suggest, twice as many track pins as you want to put in to overcome the spring in the roofing felt and widening the track bed around the tight curve to widen the inner radius. Shelf bracket it on and widen those curves! How else will you have the chance to bust yourself buying brass kits? You know it makes sense! Your friend, Stephen. 😀😀😀.
Fantastic to see a year's worth of progress come to fruition, Richard - trains running! Of course Lulu is as much the star for me too as is the railway. Absolutely love her! "I've got 10 seconds" and she comes back in 3....hilarious! As always, love your presentation style. You make it so interesting and lively! Love the music too.....very catchy! What was the track when the Terrier was running? Soooo relaxing and appropriate for a steam engine casually chugging through the countryside......keep up the great work Richard. Already looking forward to the next video! :-)
@@NewJunction it’s a fabulous video as always Richard! So very well done! I’m still working on getting mine going, so your insight is invaluable. Btw thank you so much for confirming the wonderful music at the end. I agree with those here who have commented on the sax player too. I’m following them on Facebook right now. You should get commission on promoting both of their music...haha! ;-) :-)
The Garden Railway is coming along nicely. Yes, you should have fitted some more nails and the missing sleepers, but the running has high lighted most of the problems. What a difference O scale is indoors and outdoors. Just one more thing that is needed and that is to ask the person who planted the obvious out of scale tree to replace it with one more to scale. Good luck with the rest of the build. Martin. (Thailand)
Hi Richard. You have done a brilliant job and whilst I have no experience of O gauge, I think if you go to 31:59 you can see there is quite a major dip in the track. If you put some packing underneath the roofing felt to level the track out, this can only help. Keep up the great work.
Finding this video today and knowing that the garden in our recently moved to house needs a slight rework, I might see if I can try and paste something of me to circle the garden. 😏 Thanks for inspiring me.
Brilliant update Richard a few minor adjustments I think you make it work look forward to the next update. Hope you the Mrs and baby are all well. Kind regards Gary
Really interesting video. I remember going to model train exhibits on the Isle of Wight and would happily stay there for ages, just watching all the trains moving around. All the best for the future. 😎 Wayne
It is interesting seeing the contrast with the way I am doing things. I'm doing a garden railway in OO using aerated blocks as the base, removing wood from the structure means that hopefully I won't get problems with rotting or warping. The downside is that it takes a lot more effort to shape and set the blocks to get it flat for the track, however I do think that I've managed a much flatter base where it is close to ground level as I've not had any running problems with OO.
Oh boy, another update, I was SOOOOOO looking forward to this , it has been a while ! Great work, man. I'll be continuing the build process on my own railway this summer and your story is a great guideline.
Very nice! I'm American O-scaler building my own indoor layout. Have you considered using radio control and battery power? Then you'd not have to worry about excessive oxidation of track exposed to the weather or power losses over the long distances. To help your leading truck popping off, wrap a oil of plumber's solder around the axle to weight it down.
It’s funny watching your railway while I play with my real life NR railway on nights (just signalled a 37 on a Q train). Loving your garden railway so far and can’t wait to see the next instalments and its progress. All the best Richard.
Thanks for a great video, Richard. Don't give up on the Fairburn tank. There's a combination of some slightly iffy track laying, and a front bogie to adjust to give more play. Maybe a tiny bit of camber would help, some shims beneath the edges of the sleepers on the outside of the bends. Would also look realistic. Between the track adjustment and the loco tweak, it's fixable.
Nice update and finally some progress again! Maybe leveling the track (with ballast or extra nails) and using some sort of radius gauge will improve the runnning of your brass engine (make sure that all the kinks are gone). I had a simmilar running problem in tight curves/switches with a H0 steamengine. I finally got the problem solved by improving the springload of the front ponytruck. Keep up the good work and I hope you can solve the issue (and buy expensive brass engines again xD)! Cheers
@@NewJunction On a side note, will there be a turntable or some way to turn around the engines by the station? And lovely dog! Is it a Spaniel with it's tail untouched?
Wow, certainly cracking on now. Great to see trains up and running. The steam effects on that A4 are superb. I don't think I could cope with that raised balloon loop though - heart in mouth every time a loco went round it😅.
Great stuff, Richard. I realise my asking about progress in the past was maybe unappreciated before, but I can definitely say that it's been nice watching it running, with the teething problems, but isn't there always? Thanks for posting your Premierè. Keep Well, Big Man! Cheers!
Nice update, Richard. Very sorry about your one steamer not working. Without wait on those bogies, even in O and G gauge, they will not forgive unevenness in the curves. It's a shame they do not make the wheel phalange a bit wider for garden locos. Anyhow, great to see a video on the home channel again! Cheers!
Highly amusing video Richard. That was very well put together haha. Great progress on the layout too. Looking forward to further developments on your OO project. Take care mate
Great video as always Richard, really looking good and will bring you lots of enjoyment for the future. Your A4 is just amazing, I want one 😍. Keep up the good work and stay safe James
Coming along nicely, great to watch your progress. Still watch your old New Junction video's for tips and advice while building my OO guage layout. Colonel Failure as a patron, cool😀
Yes and also consider a tiny bit of extra weigh in the pony, also try adding a sliver of the felt to the outside of the troublesome curve to shift the cg inwards. Just like the slight camber on life sized. Not so much that it tips inwards, but I had a similar problem on an indoor OO/HO years ago and two thicknesses of cardstock was enough to solve it placed under the outside edge.
Great first test of the track. I am confident that given some adjustment of the track and indeed perhaps the bogies of the Fairburn Tank you may be successful it getting it to run on the layout! Far too early to write it off before checking the track a bit more closely. (Especially that bird poo!!! lol) Track, as you well know is the be all and end all of any layout and with your known skills in this area I look forward to seeing a smooth passage of the Fairburn in coming videos. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and well. Cheers Murray
Loving the Garden railway. Simple thoughts for the brass kit, more weight on the pony truck. Also look at banking the corners of the track. The outside edge of the sleeps should be a full sleeper in height off the deck, where in the inside edge should be on the deck.
That looks really good. You do have loads of space to accommodate the layout. Do think you may have more problems with leaf fall later and encroachment by the Laurel, but will be interested to see future videos. Track cleaning is the main problem with garden track. We trialled diesel fitted with hardboard pad which worked quite well.
Excellent work, Richard. It will be most interesting to see how DCCConcepts can take you to the next stage in locomotive control. Looking forward to seeing the results! Chris Moss
Hi there. Watched quite a bit of the video and saw the section where the Fairburn pony truck came off on the curve. I’m 98% sure this is a track problem and not a loco problem. If you look closely the wheel comes of on what looks to be almost an Olympic scale ski jump. Level out the track either side of that high point and I bet the loco goes round no problem.
I mean the trains look great and everything, but the return of the classic New Junction saxophone soundtrack must surely be the highlight here. Aaaaaah it feels like home again, it's been so long...
At the risk of upsetting some by the book types; you could try widening the gauge by 1-1.5mm on the curve at 21:16 assuming the wheel back to backs are the finescale standard of 29.2mm and atleast 3.5mm thick, I run coarse scale so pinch of salt and some experimentation may be required
Hi Richard watched the video nice to see your locos running on your garden railway that you spent a lot of man hours constructing shame that the fairburn tank struggled on the track nice A4 take care Kev Beighton Parkway
Great video`s and layout, the envy of everyone who lives in a flat !!! You could try and add a station are or marshalling yard within the return loop, just a thought
Lovely video and great progress! Beautiful doggy as well 😍🐶 ..... although one aspect of the video is a bit annoying: it’s tempting me to get my own garden railway! Haha! 😜🙈 Mine is quite long and reasonably level ... and the Heljan Class 50s do look good! My OO shed layout keeping me busy and out of mischief for the time being, but never say never! Good luck with the list of snagging items and further progress 👍
You probably should have hinged the removable section of track bed. There are "lift away" hinges that progressively get further away as you open them made for shed doors and such that would work for this purpose. Doing this would allow you to wire an electrical connection to the section to be lifted that could stay in place when the lift occurs and you wouldn't have to struggle with the weight of the section, which is obviously non-trivial.
Although I’m enjoying the FR layout build I am an 0 gauge man at heart. Loving the garden layout. Such a good space you should have gone all the way round the edge but that could be a consideration for the future. Good work Richard
Great to see the progress you have made, have to say I think playing with Lulu while modelling should be a round on the Great Model Railway challenge! I did think you were going to have single lines around the loop to keep it simpler. On the cornering front, adding some cant might help. Of course, low speed testing shows problems that may not exist at speed with a train in tow. Looking forward to the "spinning bog brush on a wagon" MPV type thingummy that probably requires a growling 37 to cover virtually all time periods!
Great instalment and top progress. Looking forward to the next one already. So tempting to build a garden railway now! Weirdly, the 2-6-4 in not a Fairburn. It's a Stanier with for some reason the number of a Fairburn. Not sure what's gone on there, but it's a superb looking model all the same!
@@NewJunction i been following you with hornby magazine and was wondering when you were gonna do something on your own, and then this turned up. absolutely amazing what you have done. might have to build a tunnel over where the pigeons poop. lol

Looking good. Looks like a good pair of secateurs will be handy for trackside maintenance.
Yes, something with a plug on the end ;-)
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.

Although I’m enjoying the FR layout build I am an 0 gauge man at heart. Loving the garden layout. Such a good space you should have gone all the way round the edge but that could be a consideration for the future. Good work Richard
Sadly this has been done to a budget and with OO looming I couldn't justify the whole lot.
Hi Richard can’t wait for the big reveal good luck hope everything goes well Kev Beighton Parkway
Thanks Kev
Looking great 👍, so cool 🚂
Oooooo I really can't wait to watch it. You have done some really good work on it tho mind, keep up the good work Richard ☺👍🏻
Will do, can't wait to play more hehe
@@NewJunction any diesel locos running today or have i just got to wait and see😀😉
@@treforestestaterailway7634 yes.... lots of trains being tested today
@@NewJunction Ooooo yes!... I definitely can't wait n, this is going to be good to watch 😀☺
@@treforestestaterailway7634 I hope so!
Great update ! Lulu is so pretty and Dave will be glad the Sax is back haha
Haha yes to both!
Like the video very much.Hope there's more.Take care
Plenty more to come
A wonderful update. Hopefully the Fairburne issues can be resolved it’s a lovely locomotive.
Thanks Steve, nothing that can't be sorted
Amazing mate. Thanks for sharing..
You're welcome Dennis
Fantastic progress buddy
Thanks Dylan!
Great to see the progress you have made, have to say I think playing with Lulu while modelling should be a round on the Great Model Railway challenge! I did think you were going to have single lines around the loop to keep it simpler. On the cornering front, adding some cant might help. Of course, low speed testing shows problems that may not exist at speed with a train in tow. Looking forward to the "spinning bog brush on a wagon" MPV type thingummy that probably requires a growling 37 to cover virtually all time periods!
Yes lots of playing required, and the bog brush idea is great lol
Great instalment and top progress. Looking forward to the next one already. So tempting to build a garden railway now!
Weirdly, the 2-6-4 in not a Fairburn. It's a Stanier with for some reason the number of a Fairburn. Not sure what's gone on there, but it's a superb looking model all the same!
It is a stanier it has full front running plate
Yep your right, very odd haha
glad to see you back bud. excellent vid as always
Thanks Robin
@@NewJunction i been following you with hornby magazine and was wondering when you were gonna do something on your own, and then this turned up. absolutely amazing what you have done. might have to build a tunnel over where the pigeons poop. lol
@@RobinPrice yes they keep me busy over at Hornby Magazine, its become my second channel haha love it 😆
@@NewJunction still nice to see you back bud. looking forward to more. Happy Easter
Its looking great, using a spirit level to get the tracks as straight and free from twisting as possible will help the loco's.
Yep top tip
GREAT START. That would be neat to have it go all around your back yard. NICE ENGINES though.
Maby in time when budget allows 😀
Great to see this amazing progress
Thanks Nicholas!
Hi Richard, looking really good very nice 👍🏼. Thought I might glimpse a class 37 😜
