Just amazing, and it's a good length too. I love it when a garden line carries live loads, even if it's impracticle and entirely an excuse for running trains outside. (I've been wanting to start a catnip garden at ground level just to have the trains carry the harvest.) Also, is the diesel an RC-battery?
The weed train actually started because I was just leaving the weeds beside the track after pulling them out, but sometimes they grow again. So it's quite practical in that regard! Yeah the loco is battery powered and radio control.
Since finding your videos yesterday i am addicted,, I wish i could visit and see it all but its a long way from London… keep up the good work this is so relaxing to watch,
Loved this quirky video! Especially where the loco noticeably picked up speed. (Does the railway run entirely within your garden or does it also use 'public' land - it seems to go on forever?!)
Beautiful railway! I like the basket for the chicken feed. It reminds me of the rail cars that haul sugarcane from the fields to the refinery. I really like the locomotive weathering. Could you tell me the manufacturer and type locomotive?
@@melbournesparks3828 thanks you did a nice job it looks great. I’m currently building my own garden railroad and I’ve gained quite a bit of inspiration from yours.
Thanks sorry for the late reply! This started as an LGB Alco diesel, but I made some modifications to make it more like something that would look at home in Australia.
This railtrack is one of the most inspiring layouts I've seen on youtube, congratulations!. I have some questions: What Radius track curves do you use? What is max % slope in your layout? How do you control your locomotives ( are all RC?). What diameter do you recomend to build tunnels? What blade do you use to cut the plants with the powertool battery cutter? And most important question: When will you upload another fantastic video of your line? I'm really waiting for it! Regards, R
Thanks Roger! The minimum curve radius on the main line at the time of this video was about 900mm, but some alignment improvement works since then have increased it to about 1100mm. The steepest gradient is about 1:18, though it averages about 1:20. I think that's 5%? Everything is controlled by 2.4ghz digital radios, though the power source varies. The loco in this video is battery powered, but most of the rollingstock that runs on this line is powered by the 32v overhead wire. There is also some live steam too. The line's loading gauge has a maximum width of about 130mm, though it can be a little less for long cars, and a minimum overhead wire height of 200mm in the tunnels. That's a scale width of 3.2m and height of 4.8m. The mower car up until recently had a blade made from a sharpened bit of old hacksaw blade, though lately I have been trialing using whipper snipper line instead. It needs a higher RPM motor to cut well, but is less likely to cause damage to the rail in the event of a derailment. Anyway hopefully new video soon!
@@melbournesparks3828 Thank you! Such detailed answer is really helpful. I just started to draw my own layout ( Which is extremely difficult, the trains need to go uphill 190 cm, and I'll be forced to make a 350cm deep tunel inside a massive wall). Can't wait to watch your next video!
The railway truly is a work of art, Alexander, I could watch trains running on it all day! And it even has Jurassic Chickens!
Thanks James!
are you going to extend the line from West Grasslands?
Hello from Russia! Amazing video!

Great weathering on the engine and cars. You have one of the best RR out there. Thanks :)
"Cluck"ing awesome
What is loco btw? Also very beautiful pair of hens!
I love these videos, so calming.
A tremendously satisfying and soothing ride. High ASMR value too! Thanks.
Yes😀
Es lo más que te puedo decir jaja no hablo inglés
Always a pleasure to watch.
I can watch this whole day beautiful 👍
I love the new Diesel engine
Who here from the Cabride to Grasslands video?

These ground-level shots are really immersive!
Great Video, great railway, lovely property. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry for the late reply, the loco in this video is an LGB locomotive but somewhat modified.
@@melbournesparks3828 thanks you did a nice job it looks great. I’m currently building my own garden railroad and I’ve gained quite a bit of inspiration from yours.
What is that loco Been kitbashed from looks like an LGB dl535e and a usa trains loco
Awesome video and layout, what typ of engine is this? It makes me always happy to watch your video's. Best wishes from Germany.

What chickens do with weed: eat
What humans do with weed: smoke weed everyday
Bonito a sua ferrovia gostei muito bom bom de mais legal show
From which country you are
he is from Melbourne Australia
@@therosijedha ok thanks
Don’t u just hate weeds
Lucky the chickens like them!
Wonderful. Did I spy some changes to the track layout? Much appreciated, thanks for sharing.
Probably! There's little incremental improvements happening all the time, as well as more planned in the future.
@@melbournesparks3828During track change How overhead wire connects other wire?
How continuous supply is available while changing tracks?
@@Zsjl2021 i got a headache reading this
but anyways, im pretty sure he made like little wire joiners

are you a farmer too?
No, but sometimes I grow plants for eating as well as just for feeding to the chickens
Wow,wonderful ,excellent
did u just say weed? :p
Next level of experience 😍
Cool bro i like this
😍😍😍😍😍😍
What if trolly pole get disconnected?
well, i believe that the electric rolling stock has capacitors just in case, but im not sure
🤩🥰😍

First comment! Fantastic video
What gauge is the track?

@@willgraves1258 thanks!
How did u made the engine?
