As a professional builder of outdoor railroads l highly suggest building a minimum of 2 feet off the ground. Future upkeep is labor intensive,your back and knees will thank you.Plus the trains look much better when your not looking down at their roofs
This is the reason as to why i'd want to get into building a garden railroad: just to run christmas trains from New Bright to Bachmann (I'm assuming that power from the tracks won't affect battery operated trains?).
I really don't like that they used the track to span gaps without a supporting material under it, but other than that I'd say it was a good first attempt at a garden railroad.
Hello, looks great! I’m interested in the tracks you use, I know it’s LGB g scale track , can you tell me what turns do you use, R1, R2 or R3, I’m using a 1:20.3 scale size trains and they run on g scale track but I need a larger turn radius that’s why I need to know which ones you used. Thanks, please post something.
@@thesheq5023 Exactly. The biggest mistake model railroaders make is trying to figure out the minimum curve radius that they can get away with instead of trying to figure out the largest radius they can possible fit into their space.
I would never ever use the rocks you used and your grade is to high and going to be a problem. Just like a real railroad you need to have Good drainage. When you build your grades you need to start Gradually and work your way up to what you want In height .I have live G.scale live steam iam a Retired railroad engineer i have over a mile of track in my backyard and over 100 Scratch built buildings and we have Modern diesel locomotives also.all in Toledo. OHIO. YOU STILL HAVE A NICE RAILROAD IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE GRAD I WOULD LOWER IT .GOOD LUCK
Recon models Vaughn Hello... I have a gardening podcast and would love to do an episode on choosing plants for a outdoor railroad. Would you have any leads on who to interview? I am also in Toledo, funny enough. Scott
Why wouldn't you attach the track to a permant fixture,eg the bricks.So along comes the 1st really heavy down pour of rain and bye bye all your hard work.the track will all go everywhere,the fish plates will all become loose.really poor workmanship,i would never lay a track on earth,a complete waste of time

As an avid amateur builder and operator- I totally disagree. Near ground level looks far better. But each to his own.
Delightful and clear. thanks! Might have been nice for more information on sources for supplies.
I love the train set here especially! I beautiful Mogul.
“Low cost” $4k 🤣
That is a low cost for a model railroad 🤣
Look up the cost for live steam.
I love this video too.
Wish these guys lived in my neighborhood! Awesome guys!
Awesome!
Four thousand dollars! four thousand dollars!!! omg
Look up the cost for live steam.
This garden trains with limited space is wonderful . I would like to get one for my grandson. Where form I can purchase. Please guide me.
you can get them at amazon and the official lgb sight

What evergreens did you use?
How do you keep your track from oxidizing or rusting?
Brass won't suffer from that

Great garden train layout ."Thumbs up for you" .Hope you like mine diesel dave's

I am looking to get an outdoor railroad built for my garden. Does anyone know where I should look to find someone? I am in NC. Thanks
What locomotive is that

Use the largest that will fit in your space

is the railroad still there?
Probably washed away in the first rain.
When is this video from....? Definitely not 2020, 2000?
Sometime between 1995-2005.

Talk about pissing your money away. I hope you kids see what a silly waste of resources this was.
This is a demonstration on the basics of a hobby. How is it a silly waste of resources?
