For something that was built from cardboard it looks like a proper little kit! Certainly something I would purchase! I hope you are really happy with it because you certainly should be a specially for a first go (I assume), a lot better than my first attempt at building a scratch 16mm loco! Look forward to more videos from you👍🏻stay safe.
Ah thank you that’s genuinely really kind of you to say that. It was certainly my first go at a locomotive and I am really pleased. It should be finished soon so I will upload a better video of it then. The only bits that aren’t either cardboard or matchsticks are the faux axleboxes and buffers which are plastic 3D printed items I purchased. Pretty much everything else is bits from around the house! Cheers for following the channel :)
Been watching your garden rail progress and have got some good ideas , I to love my garden railway and try to keep the costs down m Cookie from Norfolk
I've noticed that your equipment jumps alot. Probably from ballast moving around. The big railroads use crushed rocks for ballast. And you used river rock. I know of 1 railroad that used river rock and their tracks moved around alot. Also I don't know how much weight your various equipment has. I have observed that with outdoor railroads, what I refer to as "gravity credits" is important. Things stay on the track better. Really enjoying your series.
Hi Timothy, thanks for the comments, really glad you’re enjoying the videos. I think the jumping is a combination of my lack of experience when laying the track as well as fairly poor distribution of weight in the stock. A few months ago, there were areas where the trains constantly derailed or wobbled, and so I’m now continuously maintaining and patching things up. It’s now much better as a result but still some way to go. Hopefully you’ll notice some more improvements as the videos go on :) cheers, Josh.

looking great and very rewarding to build something out of bits and pieces.
Thanks Peter! Hope you are well!
I love the colour of the new engine 😊 Amazing that you built it from scratch out of cardboard, I'm so proud of you! Xxx
Thanks Leesh! ❤️
