SLR 2020 Winter Steam Up with Sir Baldrick & Charles
The sleeper you cut look`s like it could be jarrah a Australian timber . i managed to obtain 21 for my garden project and they weighed a ton , i had to use rollers to move them, trying to put a screw in is almost impossible,,,after 3 years in the garden they have turned a nice silver colour ... The railways looking good ,,
Great work! It's also really good to see you both doing the commentary. Very important to get the balance right. 👍🕊
Excellent job, just hope you don’t have to sell up and move somewhere else
No plans on moving any time soon. A mean with a bungalow we're set for life now :)
@@SouthgateLightRailway yep me too moved into our bungalow in 1998 no need to downsize already done it! 2nd bedroom oo gauge model Twyford and Sonning cutting. Garden railway in planning stage Denver & Rio Grand possibly Remote controlled battery then no problems with electric connections etc
Hedgehog super highway
wow i'm tired out just watching you, that's a lot of work but it will be so amazing when you both have finished. Must be amazing having trains in the garden 😍
It is rewarding to sit back and look over it all. Only issue is you then start spotting bits you need to finish off. Ha
Terrific walling!
Are the gaps in the walls for wildlife corridors?
I love your filming style
Thank you. We aim for a bit of fun alongside some hopefully useful information.
As always remarkable 'civils'. But watch your hearing and eyes when using power tools!💜✌️✌️💜
Yep good reminder. Ear defenders would have been a good idea for the wall cutting in hindsight. While running the water does mean you get wet, it does keep dust down and stops things going flying.
Well done guys. Really enjoying your Garden railway story. The wooden sleepers are Jarrah. A very hard wood from Australia.
Interesting, thanks 🙂
So as requested, a comment for 22.50 ......Errrr.....Hedgehog tunnel me thinks?🤔🤪
Putting me to shame
Ha, not sure we're up to anything professional, especially planting. Often if does it look right for scale first, followed by will it grow here.
I will never forget buying a fab ice lolly in th seventies, taking it out of the rapper only to find a large dead bluebottle firmly stuck to the lollies side. never had one again. Also had a piece of wire in a Topic bar.
You both have come a long way. Looking fantastic. All the hard work paid off.
The sunshine and rain this year certainly has allowed it to green up on the existing sections of the line.
Looks like you had a great day. Congratulations you have a superb railway there to enjoy over the coming years. 👍
HI you two what a fantastic railway you have i love it, its so nice to see you both working on it i wish you all the very best in the and i hope you have many years of joy from it love to you both john. ps just wish my wife could see it.
Great set up. The curved full size brickwork is really impressive. Love the embankments with scale bush like greenry. That NGG16 loco is superb. The lot is superb, thank you.
The layout looks great
Enjoy watching your videos. My wife was from London. Been here at least three times before she passed away. Her name was Yvonne. I was wondering where you could tell me where I can get the steam locomotive Yvonne and have it shipped to the US.
Yvonne was built from kits by ourselves so not easily available I'm afraid. It's using a Roundhouse Billy chassis & Body, along with a Riverdale Engineering coal fired boiler. The tender is a George tender again from Roundhouse here in the UK.
A brilliant railway. A shame the rain spoiled the day.
Thankfully we're quite use to it in the Yorkshire Group.
Makes all the hard work worthwhile 👍💜✌️😊
Really enjoyed watching the progress on your line a real credit to the both of you , bravo!
Thank you. It was nice to see the new line so heavily used by others and feedback was all very good.
Looks fantastic and really great to see others enjoying the line! Cake is definitely required for any open days. Keep up the great content!
Great to see some trains running!
Excellent video as always!
Why not just remove the fence and only refence the gap at the far/right hand end of the shed?
Because the shed is temporary, even if it's there for a few years ...
Moving a proper fence to fit the garden railway... now that's dedication for you!
🇳🇴😞
Amazing work and progress 👍😊💜✌️
Tom here. This is looking oh so good. I love it,
It's a heck of a lot of progress. Here's to many happy adventures.
Ballasting is so transformative. When I fixed my ballast with SBR I put those plastic veg tunnels over the top. The wire supports are easy to manipulate to go over wide or narrow sections of track and allow you to do a couple of metres at a time. Nothing worse than a rain shower washing all the SBR away before it cures.
All coming on nicely the planting looks most realistic👍😊
Your plantings are really starting to come along now; Lookin' Good! I feel that the hill between the station and the quarry would be a good spot for a small forest of pines. Their height would enhance the feeling of the trains being small in the landscape, create a sense of remoteness between the station and the quarry, and be ideal as a view block, (so you don't even see who's standing on the other side).
It’s coming together! Lovely to see!
Your blackbird might not like you but he loves your trains - singing right through that clip of the steam engine. Hope you’ll get some footage of the open day - its lovely to see stuff running after all your hard work 👍
He's often watching us work, and enjoys a bath in the pond. He seems to have got the message about my moss, and generally leaves it alone now. No footage I'm afraid of the open day, but we did get some photos which we hope to share soon.
Who made the ruined building on your quarry line? Is it a Terry Vanes creation?
The one heading up the slope is yes. The other two (By the main line side and in the quarry base itself) are ones we got from someone else second hand.
Why did you wait so long to make one long video. The 30min videos are good enough for my short attention span.
Just how the footage came together this time. We thought I'd get it all out that delay it to make two videos. We'll try keep the length down in future mind.
Thanks for another brilliant update👍 It is amazing how fast the plants are spreading - it must be all the rain🤣
looking great all the best to you guys i love it ,i have lgb type .
Thank you for your track ;) Done the job perfectly.
Great video, where are your retaining walls from?
Garden Railway Specialists for the cast concrete walls. Although they are replacing them with Resin (So they can ship them), which for me is a shame as I personally prefer concrete for it's natural weathering.
cracking update guys lovely work as per. Is that siding from the mine a bit short?
The headshunt is a bit yes, but then it's only for small diesels with a few trucks. It's only really for show that line up to the quarry / mini top so I'm not to worried.
Excellent stuff as always.
1:00:34 Excellent work with the placement Nicky 😄
37:52 with the solar panel, you could use it on a signal box so that it becomes a feature
Yes that's another option. I might use that idea elsewhere. I don't think I'll have a building close enough for this one. It's a pretty big size to so needs a decent building to mount it too.
Always look forward to one of your updates. Like you I use Grano Dust as ballast, I sieve it to 3-4 grades, put the coarse down first and finer layers as I go, all stuck down with SBR. Very cheap ballast, local building suppliers does a 25kg bag for £5.00, I have about 150kg to put down this summer, whenever that will start!
Yes I might need to get more and think I will use more of the smaller grades.
@@SouthgateLightRailway The smaller the better, especially for a steam era NG line. I use fine sand, cement, and touch of black oxide. Then plough and brush it into place, and saturate with a fine misting of water.
Here in San Diego the weather has been the same as yours this year. Frustrating at times.
Certainly is. You can't plan to do anything as you don't know what it's going to do next.
Excellent as usual!!!
Just found your channel last night and watched all the videos on 2x speed. What a transformation!
If only we moved at 2x speed!
Oy. Cheers from America mate.
