I am so glad to hear that! Guys like you make the video aspect of my hobby worth while. I get to hear so many cool stories! I have many more projects comming up, small ones and big ones, so stay tuned and enjoy the ride. See you in 2025!
Next year the work will continue but this thime a have a section of my layout already finished so I will be able to enjoy the trains running and the work aspect at the same time!
I have been following in awe all along and felt your pain with the switch failure but was delighted when you solved it !! Seeing the trains run is amazing. What a project!! A high resolution image of 11.35 should be printed and mounted on your wall !! Looking forward to the next step !!
The switches worked flawless this time, I am so happy about that! I have taken several images during this session, some of them are really nice. Once I add more details to the layout and the plants are green I will consider taking a photo for my wall. The next steps are in planning right now. Finishing the signal box will be a big one and as soon as I get my planning straight we will build the layout expansion...
During winter the landscape looks a little bit rough. Once spring arrives it will be nice and green again and you won´t see a lot of the ugly stuff in the backround. That will make the views at day time a lot nicer. In the dark all of that vanishes and you can only see the lights and the trains which is nice also. It is hard to imagine that you are mid summer right now but some time I will make a trip to your neck of the woods and see it myself!
What an absolute joy to see this video pop up, I have enjoyed every video during the construction, now to see all of this with trains woking and everything woking day and night, and the rain actually added to the effect! Seriously Well Done, this is just fantastic
Your comment is pure joy to me, thank you! Next year we will have more trains running and a upcomming layout expansion plus I need to finish the signal box and some details on the existing part. It will be fun!
Ja nur die Harten gehen in den Garten aber die schönen Aufnahmen im Regen mit dem Licht gerade in der Dunkelheit hat es sich alleine gelohnt im Regen zu fahren. Schön zu sehen wie der Aufbau so zum fahren geeignet ist und der Aufbau an der Anlage Stück für Stück weiter gehen kann freu mich jetzt schon auf weitere Filme . Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr 2025 ! 🚂🚃🚃🧨✨️
Wir nehmen das Wetter wie es kommt. Nur Frost könnte uns in die Knie zwingen, wenn die Weichen fest frieren und auf den Schienen eine Eis Schicht ist fährt es sich nicht mehr so gut ... das haben wir alles schon hinter uns. Auf jeden Fall geht es kommendes Jahr fröhlich weiter mit dem Fahrbetrieb und auch mit den Baustellen, ich habe noch viel zu tun und ein paar interessante Pläne. Dir auch einen guten Rutsch!
Es freut mich wenn dir die Anlage gefällt. Die Laternen sind für den Betrieb bei Nacht eine echte Hilfe. Man erkennt die Weichenstellungen und unbeleuchtete Wagen auf dem Gleis. Weniger Unfälle, mehr Spaß! Ganz nebenbei schaut es noch richtig gut aus...
Finally I got a proper running session with some friends. As the project goes on I hope to enjoy many more running sessions next year but the build isn´t over yet. We have many more projects to tackle to make this layout a whole...
Congratulations on a great railway and to having the switchgear all working in time to enjoy with your friends. I note the track inspectors wisely stayed away on a wet winters day/evening! Have a wonderful New Year and I look forward to seeing what 2025 will bring to Summit Railway. Cheers IanM
Thank you very much! The switches worked perfect this time, I am so glad I could fix it in time. The track inspectors stayed inside and worked on the detailed planning of future projects. They are inspecting any building progress but they are not required for train operation.
What a great video of both day and night time operations and the special affects from the rain just set it off with the reflections on the track and on the rolling stock. looking forward to see what 2025 brings to the layout
I would have preverred snow over the rain but we had fun anyways. The track inspectors don´t enjoy neither of the two so they stayed under cover and discussed the further plans for the layout.
Langsam erholt sich die Natur um die Trasse. Ich habe zusätzlich viel angepflanzt um die Lücken zu schließen aber die Natur braucht eben Zeit. Im Frühling oder spätestens im Sommer sollte es wirklich gut ausschauen!
Bonjour Bravo pour ces images et particulièrement pour les circulations de nuit, qui sont vraiment très réussies… Bravo aussi pour ce superbe réseau ,les vidéos le mettent bien en valeur ! On attend la suite! Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année
Wasser gab es mehr als genug von oben nur leider eben in flüssiger Form. Schnee hätte diesen Fahrtag wirklich abgerundet aber wir hatten auch so viel Spaß!
Miss my LGB outdoors western style R/R. Had a waterfall the train would go right behind and under on a mountain of rocks along the back fence . Then across bridge then around wife’s vegetable garden on trestles in to a south western town to a tunnel then bridge that went over the pond at the bottom of waterfall to another town behind shed up side of the yard where another town and ranch . The shed was the garage for the train where all electric’s and a storage . Trains driven out of their own door from inside siding tracks to outside sidings tracks . The track was an “L” shaped 400’ loop for continuous running ended up moving and gifting the track to my old club . It was spectacular. Most club people put a R/R on dirt in a loop and through buildings around it which was fine but I dug mine into a landscape . Put in 22 skids of rock and block with beautiful yellow and orange rock . Did it in a year ! Including the rest of the yard which was extensive and a above ground pool . I did most work myself but had help . Your layout impressed me ! Thanks
Sounds like a really nice layout! I try to use the given landscape and modify it just slightly to be able to run the tracks. But in some places I will need to have more drastic changes, you will see what I mean in the next few months.
Lovely to see them running at last. And all the switches performing perfectly. Good Work. Looks like you have a great garden too. I admire the way the trees are pruned. Are you also the one that looks after that? Lookinh forward to the next episode Robin
I am responsible for the garden next to the railway, everything else is kept by my parents. I assist them when needed. Glad you liked the running session!
Absolutely wonderful running session! I did notice a couple of coach lighting dropouts. Is this because some are more sensitive to the track geometry at points? Thank you for all your videos this year.
The dropouts happen when the wagons run over the unpolarized (and therefore insulated) frog of the switch in conjunction with lights that don´t have a build in capacitor. I only use led lights with capacitor to get rid of this problem.
Tolle Anlage und toller Fahrbetrieb. Der Regen sieht richtig unangenehm aus - sorgt aber im Video für eine wahnsinnige Stimmung. Wann hat man denn im kleinen Maßstab schon regen? Klasse!
Vielen Dank! Natürlich ist es bei trockenem Wetter angenehmer aber ein oder zwei mal im Jahr kann man sich das schon geben. Die traditionelle Sonwendfeier kann ich schlecht wegen dem Wetter um eine Woche verlegen... Der wirklich unangenehme Part ist das Reinigen der Fahrzeuge nach dem Betrieb das kostet mich immer Stunden. Aber am Ende macht es einfach nur Spaß!
That was a fantastic look at operations on your railroad. I have been watching this from the start and its amazing how much you have achieved. Is there a turntable planned for the layout? Cheers from Australia. (Currently 10 PM and 23°C)
In the past two years I got a lot done but there are many more projects in my mind that will be comming up! I have not planned a turntable for several reasons. First of all a proper turntable that looks good is very fragile and hard maintain when it is installed in the garden. Second reason is I would need a lot of space that I don´t have. In my opinion a turntable is married to a round house and that takes even more space. Once I would have installed this combination I would want to have a railway depot next to it to make it look prototypical. I simply don´t have space to build all of that so I will work my original approach of building a small main line. Greetings from Germany (Currently 1 PM and -2°C and freezing fog)
@@summitrailway The issue of space in your garden was my first consideration as I thought about the turntable. Frankly the consideration of durability didn't even come to mind, but that's a very valid point. I too did think of a roundhouse but I thought that was certainly going to be a step too far with the space compromise. Thank you for replying and for sharing your hobby.
Very nice. Your gartenbahn has become an inspiration to all of us working on our own.
I am so glad to hear that! Guys like you make the video aspect of my hobby worth while. I get to hear so many cool stories! I have many more projects comming up, small ones and big ones, so stay tuned and enjoy the ride. See you in 2025!
@ will do
Superb setup!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
i am speechless! Running at night with all of the lights is beautiful! thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
After all the work, it’s So great to see the trains running. Nice work.

Very lovely trains and landscapes, preferred the night ones.
You have the winter solistice and we had the summer solistice :) We had a hot Xmas :)
During winter the landscape looks a little bit rough. Once spring arrives it will be nice and green again and you won´t see a lot of the ugly stuff in the backround. That will make the views at day time a lot nicer. In the dark all of that vanishes and you can only see the lights and the trains which is nice also.

Superbe! Merci pour ce cadeau de Noël !!! 🎄🎅
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see the trains running in the bad weather.
Running them was a lot of fun, cleaning them afterwards was a bit of a hustle but it was worth it!
What an absolute joy to see this video pop up, I have enjoyed every video during the construction, now to see all of this with trains woking and everything woking day and night, and the rain actually added to the effect! Seriously Well Done, this is just fantastic

Top, sehr schöner Bahnbetrieb. Die Nachtaufnahmen, auch sehr schön. Gut ausgeleuchtet der Bahnhofsbereich.

Spectacular. Your engines have great sound. Love the brakes.
Thank you very much, I am glad you had fun watching it!
Beautiful ❤❤❤ well done / sehr schöne gestaltung ❤❤❤
Glad you like it!
Fantastic to see the trains running. I have really enjoyed following your journey. Many thanks
Finally I got a proper running session with some friends. As the project goes on I hope to enjoy many more running sessions next year but the build isn´t over yet. We have many more projects to tackle to make this layout a whole...
I love watching the trains run and I love your Christmas Train! 🚂🎅🚂 Great work and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The Christmas Train was a fun gimmick, I enjoyed it as well. This specific train was brought by one of my friends.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! It looks really cool during daylight but at night it was awesome! Great job!!!! 🚂🚃🚃🚃👍❤️📹😃
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Looks really amazing!
Thank you!
Bravo et merci pour ce partage
Vraiment excellent travail ! J ai visionné vos vidéos depuis le début et le résultat final est vraiment réussi
Thank you so much for following my journey, I am glad you like what I am doing! We are far away from the end result, there is a lot more in store...
Looks incredible! The lighting is top-notch. Great work!
The lights make all the difference at night ... look whise and for operation as well since you can see what is happening!
Amazing, beautiful work!
Thank´s, I appreciate it!
What a great video of both day and night time operations and the special affects from the rain just set it off with the reflections on the track and on the rolling stock. looking forward to see what 2025 brings to the layout
A lot is planned for 2025 and a lot of unexpected things will happen as well. Thanks for beeing a part of this great community! *
Brilliant! And thankfully no snow. Rain seems to have kept the track inspectors under cover. 😄
I would have preverred snow over the rain but we had fun anyways. The track inspectors don´t enjoy neither of the two so they stayed under cover and discussed the further plans for the layout.
Sehr schöne Anlage, ist jetzt auch gut im Garten eingewachsen. Danke für das schöne Video.
Langsam erholt sich die Natur um die Trasse. Ich habe zusätzlich viel angepflanzt um die Lücken zu schließen aber die Natur braucht eben Zeit. Im Frühling oder spätestens im Sommer sollte es wirklich gut ausschauen!
Some serious action going on! Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome! The more I get the layout finished the more trains you will see :) Have a nice day and thank you for watching!
Absolutely Beautiful! Well Done!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Very nice! 🎉 all the time you put into it paid off. Even the double axle loco’s run smoothly! Congrats!
We will have so much fun with this layout in the future, it will be great. Glad you enjoyed this running session!

Thank you for your nice words! You will get to see many more videos of this kind, the work will continue. Happy New Year to you!
Sehr schön! Fehlt nur noch etwas Schnee... 😉
Wasser gab es mehr als genug von oben nur leider eben in flüssiger Form. Schnee hätte diesen Fahrtag wirklich abgerundet aber wir hatten auch so viel Spaß!
Fantastic! So great to see this is operational and the after dark, in the rain shots are incredible. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thank´s!
Schön, dass die Weichen nun auch wieder laufen. Du brauchst nun dringend neue Meter Fahrtstrecke :) Frohes Neues
Da kann ich dir nur Recht geben. In 2025 wird die Strecke erweitert, der Grundstein ist bereits gelegt. Guten Rutsch!
Guten Morgen, juhu, Fahrtag. Wünsche einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2025.
Endlich war es mal soweit, ein ordentlicher Fahrtag! Dir auch einen Guten Rutsch!

very nice work whats ya plans for the future look forward to seeing that progress well done :)
Finishing the signal box, modelling the goods area, expanding the layout...
@@summitrailway i look forward to seeing your progress all the best for the new year :) ill be watching
