Garden Railroad: Cab view on the Lake Chelan Short Line

- This garden railroad winds its way through a rock garden and gets some
serious elevation. The railroad isn't complete (are they ever), we hope
to add a return loop at the top of the pass this next spring along with
some bridge and trestle improvements. Sidings and businesses will come
later. - Zábava
I respect you so much. Lgb garden layouts were a massive part if my life as a kid visiting country garden shops. Covid is horrible. Glad you got to carry on before Covid. Lgb builders are real angels.
my dad had HO layouts in Mexico City, Mexico and in Tehachapi CA. in 1967, Mexico, i surprised my dad with a "flying plane" for his layout. 2 each 4-inch rubber wheels with deep grooves for treads. 1 mounted at each end of the layout. i ran fishing line in the grooves between both wheels and hung a small model plane from it. i installed a small dc motor and had the motor shaft rub up against the wheel. plenty of torque and the wheel turned very slowly. my dad built an airport at one end and a cloud bank at the other end. my dad was happy and so was I.
nice layout you have there and nice dog too.
Great work!
Greetings from Switzerland 🙂
Almost look life size until you see humans and animal. Very nice.👍👍👍
I don’t know. That’s about the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. Thanks
OMG! Kelly C, that Johnny Cash beginning tune brought back so many memories....as did the train. Thank you for sharing.
Nice. Greatings Frank
While watching this, I felt as if I were Gulliver in Gulliver's Travel. 😀😀😀😀😀😀
So great ! Thx for sharing ❤
Beautiful landscaping but it sure has a steep grade in some areas. The rocks that you brought in look very good in the type of landscaping you have. Great looking layout.
That's gotta be the premier "garden" railway of 2022. I was attracted to Lake Chelan when I was working at Rocky Reach Dam, automating it's load/feq control in the 1960's. I always wanted to take the mail boat up the Lake, but never got the chance. You are envied and loved.
I really enjoyed your upload, thank you from Cornwall UK
Very nice layout, looks like you have a lot of well worth it time invested.
The scenery and landscaping is very nice.
Johnny Cash music is perfect.
Thanks for sharing this video. I enjoyed it very much.
Have a Blessed day
Wow!!!!
Great layout. Tons of work. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My compliments sir. Just stumbled across this in Feb 2023 and quite envious of your work and progress. Not sure if you're still going on it or not, but would love to touch base sometime. From the "wet side" of WA.
Cheers,
Rob
Epic Track layout well done
Some of he best scenic work I've seen. Great job.
That was amazing journey such detail thanks for sharing..............
Very nice layout. You have some nice "realism" on a large scale garden setup like this.
Yep, that's some layout. Great track work, considering what the RR has to go through. Keep up the good work.
Amasing
You sure have a rocky garden. Nice 👍
It was Land of the Giants. Kept expecting a John Williams score to precede big boulders coming down onto the tracks!
AMAZING !
Exellent
A fun way of never having to mow the grass.
very nice indeed
Love it. Playing at 3/4 speed does it justice.
You should do a video in black and white to make it look old timey. Still is awesome
Hello from Germany.
I like your railroad. The nature on both side of the tracks looks very good.
So lifelike it is like the people and dog are giants. Sci-fi movie set.
Fantastic
A truly marvelous, complex, expensive, and totally realistic creation. Thank you for your efforts, and thank you for sharing. When you get finished building it (at least for the moment), because the RR is too small for any human to climb aboard, please give some consideration to (somehow) creating a video of the entire trip that will allow the viewer to switch views (external spot, cab, top-down, etc.) while the trip is in progress. Flight simulator (FSX) has this capability. Do this for your railroad and I guarantee you the word will get out and you will have a million viewers (you've already got 73K) overnight! Heck! It's fantastic just the way it is! I'm gonna bookmark this video so I can 'have a moment of fun' whenever I want to. Good luck and thanks again.
Me too
Wow! Stunning and beautiful.
With the Labrador licking his chops, I thought disaster looming.
Very very nice.
I must say that your Garden Railroad is very very impressive! Talk about adding scenery…tons of rocks and trees. Do you live in Arizona or New Mexico? Please keep Posting your progress as you come down off the mountain. God bless you, both. and, Merry CHRISTmas
Lake Chelan is in eastern Washington state.
Great layout, fantastic scenery ! Cheers from Detroit.
Nice 😄 .
Very nice railroad you got
Thus is great!
This looks awesome. Joe
すごい！
庭園鉄道って本当に素晴らしい！
ラストで線路が切れていたので、ドキッとしてしまいました！
ブラボー！
Good job.
Get rid of the giants. They are too distracting. Great train ride otherwise.
Out of the many outdoor model railroads I've seen here on CZcams, and there are some great ones, yours is hands down my favorite. I love the old real world old time colorado narrow gauge railroad feel. I sure hope you've been able to expand and enjoy it further since this video was taken.
I can see the dog chasing the train some of the time 😂😂😂
I was the engineer... 🙂
Good luck with your video
Cool track love your railroad perfect landscape
It’s so real I fooled myself
Wonderful. Beautiful realistic landscape. Big job.
,
0:00 Cool! Johnny Cash music!
There's one thing that's better than Johnny Cash........ and that's Ready Cash
Yeah your right 😂
Has some very realistic scenes. Hope you post more videos of this superb layout.
Wow!! The best mountain G gauge I've ever seen. The scale of the rock and plantings are awesome. Great job. How many years did it take?
Wow! Very, VERY impressive! Totally agree that your rock work looks amazing! You posted this 4 1/2 yrs ago; I hope you've been able to clean up the track work since then. So many corners, bridges, rocks, terrain elevation changes, curves......super!
The term “short line” doesn’t do it justice. That’s a great railroad that you have created
When did trees start wearing shorts? 😂😂 great video. Is this HO or O scale?
I agree with Dennis. Great railroad with great potential.
Have you made any progress in the last two years? Would love to see your additions.
Keep at it

I subscribed.Joe's train world videos 🙂🙂🙂
No, Thank you !
Awesome. What highest point of this railroad? How long is it?
MY GOD! GIANTS ARE REAL!
That last part must be newly laid track. Am I right? You are still in the process of expansion, yes?
What kind of tree did you use to mimic the pine trees
Awesome video always wanted a LGB layout like this. Loved the scenery the placement of the rocks almost like they belong there. What kind of trees were those? Really good job on everything 👏👏👏. Have a Happy 🦃 Thanksgiving everyone.
La camara no esta centrada
Тут можно снимать кинофильмы прошлого🤔
Where is this railroad located? I am curious because you have the makings of a really incredible layout there at your place. If you do it right, it could be a great little mountain railroad similar to ones in Colorado. You would just have to bring the gradient down a bit so it's not so steep. But with the correct engineering, that could be accomplished without too much trouble. So for me, it's rather exciting to see what you have and what it could be if done right. Hopefully you have done some more work since you posted this video back in the summer of 2014 (almost 2 years ago) If you need any free assistance, please let me know. I would be happy to accommodate you guys in your quest to perfect the Chelan Short Line. Dennis Sirrine Palo Verde & Southwestern RailRoad Mesa, Arizona
Nothing wrong with the grades. It's a mining/logging railroad. Have you ever been on the old Uintah railroad grade??? Now THAT was a miracle railroad with 7+% grades and hairpin curves. Great Northerns old mainline through Stevens pass, used switchbacks while the original tunnel was being built. I've driven my car on it and it is scary at times with the grades that were used.....4 to 5 cars maximum and 2 locos minimum were required back then, even with mallets! Here in Idaho, Potlatch Timber Co. had spurs exceeding 7% (some were as much as 12%). Besides...it's HIS railroad, HIS rules!
Sounds a bit arrogant to me , it is an logging RR were steep grades and sharp curves were common. Why do you think he has the Shay for.
You need guard rails on the trestle. How come you couldn't keep a constant speed? Very nice railroad. Great rock work.
Helpful hint: GET THE HUMANS AWAY FROM THE LAYOUT WHILE YOU ARE FILMING. You're welcome.
Thumbs down for no yard and steam engine.
