Only years later did I realise that when Lionel talks about the little black engine, he was talking about the narrow gauge German loco rather than the terrier
I think what really governs the scale is the price, not the space. Once you start playing proper O or G scale it can get rather expensive. I like the idea of using a clearance guide.
You're not wrong, but going from 00 to 0 to G to G1 is a massive increase is size - each one contains four times the volume of the previous, so a loco in 00 that's the size of a toilet roll tube ends up the size of a large drainpipe. So, if you are determined to fill a given space then the cost equalises - it's only when you want to look at equivalent plans that the price difference comes in (i.e. the same plan in 00 vs G will be 3x as expensive, but the same garden filled with track will cost the same in 00 vs 0 vs G1)
Well if your going to make a garden railway, its gonna cost all lot of money. Buying all the trains can be expensive up to 80 or higher, and tracks are as expensive but all lot may be needed.
This series has made me want a garden railway so much. Anyone know how much a decent one would cost all up trains track together? About the same size as the one mark makes.
Did you use Garden Railway Specialists flexible track for most of the railway? I'm planing on my garden layout ATM and I'm finding this series very useful for it's progress
Hope this doesn't sound silly but, I wonder if a photo of the ballast varnished to keep it waterproof, under the points, would at least look as if it has ballast but without the stones getting in the way of the workings of the points?
Thanks so much for your insight and formative feedback. Your videos were very informative and fun. 🤩 😊😊

Oh, 'sup Leo?
Yeah, both are factors, honestly. In the UK, space is a premium.

very nice vid.
i don't have a garden, as i live in a flat, but i love to see the trains.
this program inspired me to get a garden railway
Cool video! Great work!
nice show, beautiful railways,useful tips.
i knew this wasn't just a fever dream
dremels or die grinders are a very useful and time saving tools on any model rail way
Very helpful! A lot of techniques I don’t know.
Looking good!
Amazing!

Classic North American logging power. Shay, Climax, and the Heisler.
LMS "Crab" was a tender engine, derived, I think, from the tank engine modelled here.

The video thumbnail looks like playing air guitar with a piece of track.
grate serise.

Discovery channel should make a global garden railway's show. See how people in other countries do it. 👍👍✌🚂🚅

nice video..
Would love a short status update on the railroad.
LOVE IT!!!
good work
I used my belly to shape and the track curves, and they’re way too big 😁

Mark found out how to make a railway
Who makes the Terrier at 4:12?
10 mm gravel is all that I have ever used,
What if it didnt fit before you tested it. Would have been a little late
What is the stuff that is added to the rail couplers at 13:15? What kind of conductive flux is it?
In the next episode Mark revealed that it was copper grease, which David Pratt had advised, allowing electrical continuity across the layout.
Why is the Shay going Backwards?
07:00
@03.07 is that an LMS crab?
That's a lms 2500 2-6-4 tank. A crab is a 2-6-0 tender engine
Is he saying what I think he's saying? 17:10
