    I'm stoned and found my way to garden rails on youtube. These videos are relaxing and nostalgic. I like that this was in reverse. Felt like an adventure. Glad i found this.

    Lovely layout, beautifully laid track, and great sound, esp at 3:39 where continuous rail gave way to fishplates for a few glorious seconds. Great stuff!

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  7 лет назад

      Thanks. Out of interest the train 'hum' through the rails gets amplified by the fiddle yard box. Means I can just about hear trains all the way. Useful if one hits a leaf on the part I can't see.

    Great garden. And what a layout. It genuinely reminds me of some rail journeys I made to and from work in London, with the train stations, especially on the north London line, going under roads. Lovely job. It must’ve taken you an age to construct and no doubt keeps you busy with foliage removal/cutting, before it derails you!!

    Just found your channel..great videos ..I quite like the rear view ..I guess it reminds me of my teen years ,summer holidays touring around on a rail rover . It was a bonus if you could get a seat looking out of the back cab of a DMU .

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  4 года назад +1

      Thanks. I think it was the 'Bournemoth Belle' that had a rear facing observation car. Was before my time but I'd guess it's was great fun. Think it's the one now on the South Devon Railway?

    Need more!!!..would love a hand held view of the track as the train is going round birdseye so I can get a concept of the size of the layout...absolutely outstanding!!🙂

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  4 года назад

      The more recent of my lineside videos (the 2016 one) has some slightly elevated views. But I haven't had much luck actually holding the camera (lots of wobbles) or mounting it on something so I tend to place it low, and very close to the track to capture the sound. Actually the layout's longer now than the video (I think?) you were watching. There's two onboard vids I did in 2019 which show it's current extent. They're not quite what you're seeking but they sort of give an idea of it's size.

    @saltspringrailway3683 8 месяцев назад

    Hated running backwards, didn't feel safe 🙂. Very smooth ride though and a good speed. Loved the complex junctions and stored rolling stock. The track looks recently laid. Be good to see some signals and over bridges. I made mine very quickly using scribed polystyrene painted mat black then a stone colour. You can see my outside railway if you look up Saltspring Railway which is a tourist attraction near Vancouver, BC, Canada. It's a British railway which started life on a door in '79 in Rugby near the station!

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  8 месяцев назад

      I had a look at yours - looks great and building it must have taken ages. With mine much of the track was 5 yrs old in 2016, so is now 13 and still going, or will be when I've removed the full grown goat willow that landed on it in Storm Ciaran!

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад

      Thanks. I like 'em loud and to some extent the layout is designed to enhance the sound (resonating bridges and the indoor 'box' acting like an amplifier). I'd add more clickerty-click but I found the rail gaps need to be a bit too long.

  • @itsonlycapnkirk
    @itsonlycapnkirk 7 лет назад

    One of the best garden railways I have seen. Gives a great illusion of long distance and the features, ie tunnels and scenery are first-rate. Please advise when a forward looking video is available

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  7 лет назад

      Thanks. Think the best forward looking is "...a run in 2015". Click crepello100 (at top) and you should see it listed. It is though from behind the loco. Weirdly enough, this layout always looks better looking where you've been than where you're going!

    VERY nice layout and garden, though the Heather could do with a trim ;=) And like ^John Manley* here, I love the sound of the train on the track and especially going through the tunnels, very realistic. Thumbs up *Crepello100*

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад +1

      Yes I later realized I should have made the cuttings wider so I could trim the plants back further. Wouldn't therefore have to trim them so often. Ya live and learn I guess! Thanks for the comments.

    • @Deebz270
      @Deebz270 6 лет назад

      It was only a mild observation... I've seen far worse, sometimes I wonder how some model trains don't get derailed ! (lol). Seriously, it is a *really* nice layout. I've subscribed too.

  • @jimitube
    @jimitube 7 лет назад

    Very good video, the trains go in tracks in smooth curves and the other one in parallel without losing the distance, according to the reality, and the roads are well formed, a very good and meticulous work, if it had a large lot like the His, would do the same, I liked the video as a reference to make a train garden properly, congratulations

    What rails did you use as it's outside n I know Hornby tracks rust 😕 let me know as I want to do this outside.

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад +7

      It's Peco Streamline code 100 flexible. It lasts about 7-10 years before the plastic sleepers start getting brittle. The way I do it is the track simply rests on the base so can expand as it wants, so can be fully solder together (over the joiners), so power feeds can be as much as 100 feet apart. In a nutshell it removes the need for outdoor wiring and is strong enough to take a fast & vigorous clean with a rubber. It's different for points ('switches'). I try to avoid those outside. Those only last 1-2 years and are much slower to clean.

    I'm going to building some HO track outdoors soon. I only worry about my dogs destroying it. Oh how big they would be in real life if in the scale that the trains are!

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад

      Here it's kicked off by deer or stray dogs I guess about 5 times a year. But it's free resting so simply slides off undamaged. If it was kicked off & then stood upon it would break but I've been lucky - it's never happened... yet!

    • @zackbobby5550
      @zackbobby5550 5 лет назад

      Crepello100 Lol well good luck to you! Have any tips for outdoor tracks and operation?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад

      Well, the big issue with outdoor track it expands & contracts. One can get around issues that causes by having gently curving track which simply rests on a concrete base. It allows the rail joiners to be soldered over. That eliminates the need for outdoor wiring and makes the whole thing more robust.

    @johnmanley5543 7 лет назад +4

    I love your video! Listening to the sound of the train on the track reminds me of riding Amtrak from Washington to New York! The Maryland to Delaware section sounds so similar to your railway! I have to ask, what brand of track do you use? I wonder if it can be purchased in the states?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  7 лет назад +2

      It's Peco Streamline Code 100 flexible, concrete sleeper. It's nickel-silver as are the rail joiners. I solder over those. Can do this because the track only rests on the base so can expand as it wants. Thanks for the nice comment!

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад

      No corrosion at all. But after 7 yrs the plastic sleepers on some bits in full sun are starting to go very brittle. I only found out cos my cat damage one bit so I tested that to destruction - was scarily easy! So it seems it's UV light that finally kills the track

  • @SupernalOne
    @SupernalOne 5 лет назад

    going backward is interesting, one is always recalculating one's perception of where one has just been, seeing where it's thereafter gotten to - a bit like inductive rather than deductive reasoning

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад

      Yikes! But yes I guess so, cos the conclusion of this layout as shown here is false, cos I've since added a bit.

  • @kevinjackson9699
    @kevinjackson9699 6 лет назад

    Hi what a great railway. I am new to all this and I am going to attempt an outdoor 00 gauge railway myself. mine will be a lot smaller than yours. Could you tell me how you power all of the track?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад

      It's the same method I'd previously used on N Gauge garden layouts. Outdoors the power is entirely through the rails. The nickel-silver rail joiners are soldered over with a thin film of solder which creates a permanent and weather-resistant join. Expansion is no problem because the track simply rests on the concrete base so can slide sideways on the curves. This method allows wire feeds as much as 80 feet apart for OO/HO (or 40ft for N Gauge), so basically there's no need for outdoor wiring at all. I've avoided having many points (switches) outside as they don't last long in this particularly damp climate. They also slow down track cleaning, so I've gone for a long but simple kind of layout instead.

  • @metadyneman
    @metadyneman 7 лет назад

    Very nice, with some good long runs and landscaping. Having had many years of outdoor modelling in OO myself, I would not want the task of cleaning all that track though. A lot of your track seems very new so it will tarnish eventually and need a rub over with a track rubber very often. Have you devised an effective method of track cleaning under the long tunnel sections?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  7 лет назад

      I've made a cloth covered wooden block attached to long pole for the 6ft long 'real' tunnel - works most days. If not, there's an access shaft halfway, only needed a few times a year. I'm well used to the start-up cleaning - sort of do it on autopilot. Actually half the track's been there 5 years and is actually improving. The Gaugemaster rubbers must be tarnishing it.

    • @metadyneman
      @metadyneman 7 лет назад

      My outdoor line has run on DCC since 2009 so I have to keep my track very clean indeed. I use a product called "Garryflex" which is similar in substance to the Peco or Gaugemaster track rubber but much larger and cheaper. Most of my track which is the same as yours has survived 15 years outside but I'm now gradually replacing it as it is showing signs of wear. I consider 15 years pretty good going really.

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  7 лет назад

      Garryflex for 15 yrs is interesting as I'd heard of it but wondered what it's long term effect might be. Gaugemaster rubbers aren't perfect - they wear out quick. But a plus is one uses them very lightly which in my case means I don't have to hold the track with other hand. They're much softer & more rubbery than Peco but somehow more effective too. Thanks for the tip - think I might try it.

    Do I need to buy outdoor specific track to be able to run oo in the garden ?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад +2

      Peco Streamline flexible track is fine outdoors, though if it's in full sun you may need to start replacing bits after 6-10 years. Also, I always clean it 1st with Garryflex rubber so by quick calculation I must have done that 240 times! That hasn't damaged the rails at all. Points (switches) do wear out or break quicker and also slow down the cleaning as ya can't go fast or hard with the rubber over them, so I personally avoid having many. Hope this helps.

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад +2

      Thanks. In fact actual faults needing fixing are remarkably rare (even after 7yrs) but it does always need a good cleanup before I run anything. I always start by going round it with a track rubber, brush off the debris, trim encroaching plants if needed, that sort of thing. Usually takes 90mins. The payback is I'll then run it (on & off) all day long, typically 5-8hrs.

  • @johnmanley5543
    @johnmanley5543 7 лет назад

    Forgive the question if I should know better; but is OO the same as HO in the US or O gauge?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  7 лет назад

      OO is weird. The trains are 1:76 but run on HO track 1:87. The trains are in effect over-sized. Long ago, Hornby couldn't fit motors small enough so made the trains bigger. The only good aspect is British (real) trains are unusually small so it makes them look as big as everyone else's.

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад +1

      Yes. Only problem is rain make them get dirty much quicker. I don't run trains in rain - it spreads dirt from outside into the shed and makes the indoor tracks dirty too.

  • @carmium
    @carmium 5 лет назад

    Seeing as this is OO, do you take up the track each fall? It looks really clean.

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад

      No. I did initially cover most of it for winter to protect the soldered over joiners but have found that's not needed either. None failed last winter which was the coldest here at -10C. The track's still OK after 7 years, though the plastic sleepers are getting a bit brittle.

    • @carmium
      @carmium 5 лет назад

      Wow. Props to Peco for their track! Funny, but I was on another post a while ago and someone asked if it was possible to run HO in the garden. The replies were all along the lines of ABSOLUTELY NO!!! Impossible! and so on. Maybe if you live in Saskatchewan or Minnesota, but if you're in Vancouver (as I am) you'd think it was quite doable. Especially if you run heavier On30 on your 16.5 mm line! All I need now is a garden... 8-(

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад

      I'd guerss weather stats here are vaguely similar to Vancouver?? Here they're 1250mm rain/yr. 1 day in 4 completely rain-free. Temp range usually -6 to +30C. Rather windy as it's on 900ft high hilltop on the French peninsular into the Atlantic.

    • @carmium
      @carmium 5 лет назад

      We come in at 1500mm but only 44% of days have measurable rain. Temperature sounds close, but rarely that cold or hot. Sounds like a decent roadbed is all one would need to go HO. There's a big G gauge following around here, but most use battery packs so as not to have to clean the tracks all the time!
      Well, if I ever hit the lotto and buy a house with a nice yard, I may have to try an On30 empire!

    • @Crepello100

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  8 лет назад +1

      There's the former turnback curve (I extended past that) and also a branch lead off where there's a short bit of wooden sleeper track. Problem with extending it is I do always need to clean it first thing - takes 90mins now. But yes I'm itching to extend it, so it is a possibility.

    Where I can buy OO scale trains?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  4 года назад

      In UK: model shops or by searching on the Net. If you're not in the UK it might be worth searching for HO gauge instead. OO uses HO scale track but the actual trains are a bit oversized.

    What a great layout. Is it still under construction?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  5 лет назад

      Yes it got longer recently. The original part (with lots of scenery) is quite a handful - lots of weeding, so all the extensions are in low-maintenance style. It's dead easy to look after where it simply goes through the lawn.

  • @calebhudson8122

    Is it OK for track to get wet?

    • @Crepello100
      @Crepello100  6 лет назад +2

      Doesn't hurt the track at all. But wet rails give dirt something to stick to so I give it a quick clean after a shower. Since the layout started there's been more than 7m of rainfall on it!
