The whole thing can be assembled in the sitting room if every piece of furniture is removed - for some reason this is not a very popular idea. Can’t imagine why….
Huge isn't it. If you made one like that on your youtube you'd soon get lots more subscribers. I bet all those sounds took some editing. All that stock was kit build before the RTR started coming out - what a job - and the scenics are spot on. Those houses are very good. Every time you see this layout you spot something new. One thing at 05:00 - :30 I don't know if my eyes are going funny, but looking at the motion, do you think the Tasmanian K1 has a different wheel size on each bogie ? The other Garratts seem to be the same . . . .
Aha yes, I can only dream of making something this size! 😂 It really is a layout you can lose yourself in, I must have spent hours in front of it in Manchester, and the quality of the kit and scratch building is superb!
Each power bogie on the Garratts has a separate motor, and unfortunately despite having identical wheel sets and gearing they can end up running at slightly different speeds.
Most of these locos are the old Backwoods kits, now discontinued, very expensive and challenging to build well. There are rumours that a major manufacturer has measured the NGG16s with an aim of producing ready to run models, but nothing announced as yet
Awesome
would be nice to have the room to attempt something like this. It is amazing. Love the editing :)
Thanks. I think I read that it's so big that the whole thing has only been together a handful of times! It's a stunning piece of work

@@FortheLoveofSteam Bachman no doubt and it would be awesome I’d buy quite a few as my layout has steep grades
