Amazing little railway, and what a dream for the owner, having that in your garden, and riding the rails all day, never wanted a massive lottery win more. Beautiful garden as well, superb.
What a wonderful miniature railway despite the negative comments of others. I had a railway for a number of years in a garden centre in Lincolnshire but not on this scale. It certainly conveys the idea of a journey which I think is an important aspect of the design of a railway. Congratulations to all concerned.
@@joncoe9046 Southfield House, Louth. Was privileged to be able to visit a couple of years ago. A fantastic railway, a full journey takes upwards of 25 minutes!
Lovely ride through the gardens there. The railway must be a groundsman's nightmare but what a great little railway. It must have taken some time to lay out and landscape for but just lovely. Every kid and Big Kids dream to have...well this Big Kid anyway. Just grand. Thanks for posting it...3 years ago but, Cheers!
I remember when younger and working outside Maidenhead...there was a railway going around someone's garden and out to the road and back...However, never saw it in action...Another was at Runcorn 7" guage and about a mile long...again impressive. These miniature railway lines must take ages to do...and l admire the individual (s) who have that challenge...They are really incredible..and a marvellous way to relax...and to show others of steam..especially children. Thank you...👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
This video is very popular - new comments almost daily. However, recommend video in the first link in the first comment, which gives unobstructed view of the whole journey with no driver's back. There is also a John Raby video which features a map - very helpful in fathoming this complex layout.

@@user-jt1jv8vl9r NO because it hurts the video maker it does not tell YT's algorithms anything. If you need or heed YT's "suggestions" I feel sorry for you!
What would top it off is my Holmside is a batch of 4, built by the same chap, it would be even more amazing if this was the 4th member, I know where the other ones are.
SHLR now has its own dedicated page, take a look at the latest ride around the railway and stay tuned on the page for more. czcams.com/video/M_QizaIg4ZA/video.html
I believer the full length of the track is about 2 - 3 miles in real life, what that would be scaled up i am not sure. It takes about 20 minutes per full trip if you cover every inch of the track. Sometimes they have up to 4 trains running at the same time and you won't see them!
Silly description: "the largest . . . of its size". That designation can be applied to anything, even something very small, because anything larger is not "of its size" and therefore eliminated from the comparison. Still a good ride though.

Very long track. You might take your lunchbox with…..
GET ORF MY LAWN takes on a whole new meaning with this garden. What a great boys toy. Far better than a lambretta or MG sports car
Hoping all is well your way!
It's taken years for this video to come up in the suggestions. So Glad it finally did. Quite Enjoyable!
That's either very well laid track or a very steady cameraman. Absolutely mesmerising.
It's a very well laid track!!

The garden is enormous and immaculately kept - must require a small army of gerdeners.

I need this type of railroad service in my garden after retirement 😁
That's one huge garden and what a big boys toy that layout is
What a fabulous way to while away a sunny day!
Gives the phrase... track maintenance an all new meaning... Great stuff thanks for posting.
Wow what a lay out, and you get to ride around and see all the grass and hedges that need cutting !
That’s one hell of a train set!
Life goals. This would gladly be on my bucket list if I knew where about it was.

What an impressive railway!
Thanks, so much! ✔❤ l enjoyed the trip 👊
Oh dear, every school man's dream here! and serious coin spent on this train set :-)
That's bloody brilliant!
What a fantastic railway
Somebody did some hard work and spend a lot of money to build this thing.... wow.
Some garden, some train. Brilliant.
He's livin' the life of a boy's dream.
Great video, seems like a lot of fun, I would love to visit this.
I wish wish wish wish I could go there and RIDE RIDE RIDE RIDE THAT LITTLE STEAMER!! OHH WHAT FUN THAT LOOKS TO BE!!!!😎
Thank you very much for sharing this, and I've added it to my list of best things in life. When I die this is were I want to go lol
A dream come true I’d love a train set like this 😁
This is amazing.
Simply incredible 👍🏻
That trestle bridge alone must have cost a fortune as for the maintenance, strewth.🇦🇺
It would be nice to see a track plan of the railroad.
Track plan here, start of video czcams.com/video/774gSXCE1Ko/video.html
This is so cool !! 😀
My Great Grand Daughter would love this.
Truly amazing
Must be a dream... fantastic 👍
Wonderful, love it, but I would die if I had that, I'd ride it all the time & never go in to eat! Maybe theres a buffet car!
Amazing! So much track to maintain though.
Brilliant
Wow! Incredible! What a labor of love! (I know US spelling)
Nice back
Beats a walk in the garden! A Train and wildlife haven, thank you for sharing.
If only my garden was that size
👍👍👍
The bridge at 6:20 is amazing!!
Yes!
Reminds me of a pier railway. :)
Must've cost lots and lots of money only that. That's some serious money in that little park...
That's very very nice!
The ride around is really good!
fantastic track engineering
Wow that's fantastic, I want one! Pity my garden's only 60 feet by 20 isn't it ?
Suck it Downton Abbey!!!
Not even Lord and Lady Grantham had anything this cool. 😆😆😆
what a great little railway
How could 14 people give this a thumbs down??? What is there to not like?
Thanks for the ride!!! :)
The internet is full of idiots :)

Literally just said to myself, I would love to take my Holmside up there for the day, and what loco is up front, Bloody Holmside. It’s meant to be.
Beaching must of missed this one !
I am rarely envious but!
What would top it off is my Holmside is a batch of 4, built by the same chap, it would be even more amazing if this was the 4th member, I know where the other ones are.
nice to see someone spending there money properly
very fast....uhhh, cool
speechless :)
13 minutes of staring at this gentleman's back...
Jealous doesn't even come close lol
This reminds me of Lappa Valley
I would like to see the loco working.
a link to a track plan would be nice
If you like this, check out Castledare miniature railways.
I’ve been there! :D
Makes my Hornby clockwork layout seem a bit small by comparison.
At 13:02 you get to see the engine for the first time. Engineer with big coat blocks the view. Still was pretty cool though.
Does anyone know what the total length of the layout is?
And, whereabouts in the UK is it?
The length is about 2 miles, it is located in Louth, England. I believe if the track was scaled up you would have about 25 miles worth.

Where is this?
Nice, but it ain't no Train Mountain (it only has 30+ MILES of track on 2000 acres).
Track plan at the start of this video.

thats what id do if I was super rich and had lots of land
how good is that
If I owned that I'd face divorce..........
Exquisite! What's the scale mileage of track in this immense system, please?
I believer the full length of the track is about 2 - 3 miles in real life, what that would be scaled up i am not sure. It takes about 20 minutes per full trip if you cover every inch of the track. Sometimes they have up to 4 trains running at the same time and you won't see them!
Looks like 1/8th scale so 2-3 would be 16-24 miles. Love the scenery.
1/8 th seems about right at 7.25 inches, when true 1/8 th would be 7.06 inches at true 1/8 gauge
1/8th scale looks about right, although 1/8th gauge is 7 inches, not 7.25 inches, as is the norm.
According to one of the other videos it is a 7.25 inch railway
Where is this? I need to score it! 😜
louth lincolnshire :D
Why did the train cross the road?
Because it was a beautiful sunny day.
to get to the other side
Hehehehehehehe, old man living his dream!
Hehe hehe hehe who's that Mark?
Couldn't we get different camera angles?
From a single camera on a single run?
Hornby or Bachmann's engine, and where is it...
Are you joking mate? Obviously scratch built by a skillful model engineer
Utterly brilliant
Where is the SHLR?
It is located in lincolnshire, they do open days but i think they may be closed until next year now.
Southfield House Light Railway. A private 7 1/4 gauge railway in Lincolnshire with a track length of over a mile and a ride of around 20 minutes.
How many km's is this railroad ?
this is england, old chap. we do not entertain vulgar continental kilometres.
@@raymondo162 really ?? Almost the whole world is using km's......how many miles than ?
13:01 He says, "Look up at me you dirty old peasant!"
I wonder where this is? I'd love to come here one day 😊
Stapleford Park, nr Melton Mowbray,
@@briansewell7263 thank you very much 🙏
@@briansewell7263 no it's not! It's in deepest Lincolnshire.
@@simonwass6315 where abouts? I only know of the Evergreen but that's been dismantled and they are trying to set up elsewhere
Any link or number to contact them?
I dont know of a link directly. i have contacted his secretary to ask if there are contact details.
Such a shame that we didn't really see what the engine was.
That's not the idea of the video otherwise it would be called "a look at a couple of engines" lol
Narrow gauge
Silly description: "the largest . . . of its size".
That designation can be applied to anything, even something very small, because anything larger is not "of its size" and therefore eliminated from the comparison. Still a good ride though.
That would also mean you could reverse it the other way. "This little railway is the -largest- smallest of it's kind." It's the only one of itself.
@@casual_boredom7195 Exactly
I think, in this case, it should have read "the largest ... of this gauge" i.e. the largest of this size of rails.
@@kevinmk2002 Maybe that's what he meant.
mpeterll forget about the description , just enjoy the ride 😀
Great track get tired of grey coat and zero forward vision
Just get yourself a layout then /not helpful
More fun than spending all that money on some bimbo for sure!!!
jim McCartney a Real woman makes you sandwiches while you oil your miniature locomotive!
P
13 minutes of looking at the back of someone! Now if it had been possible to put the camera on the front of the engine = = = = = = = = !
