  • Finally got around to videoing the entire trip through to the new terminus of Grasslands. Come along for the ride!
    This is a 45mm gauge, 1:24 scale electric tramway. Just like their full size counterparts the trams are powered from overhead wire at 32v DC.

    That is the most natural and beautiful layout I've ever seen. I love how it grew out naturally and looks like a true overgrown railroad, the most mystical and beautiful of the genre. In fact, from the thumbnail I thought it WAS a real railroad like others I've seen on CZcams. Congrats! Great thumbs up!

    Reminds me of when I used to ride a Penn Central branch line back in the late 1960s. The line was nearly as overgrown with foliage. You definitely had to keep your head and arms inside the engine cab, and even then some tree branches would protrude through the open window. You have a very scenic line here. Thanks for sharing.

      Makes a change from the pristine razed track beds and manicured foliage that are more usual. The tumbledown nature fits the style of the ageing tramway perfectly, and viewers get the "will it derail?" excitement as well! The only thing I was left wondering was access to the tunnels.

      And likewise guinea pigs are way easier to care for than capybaras - they don't need to have water to poop in. From all the videos I've seen capybaras can be quite tame and friendly, but I still wouldn't think of them as domesticated. Certainly not an easy to care for pet, regardless of personality. I'd still think of them as far less dangerous than tigers though.

    Really well done! I love how the relatively ordinary yard weeds, what looks to me like maybe southern US or something, on this scale transforms into the huge exotic plants of a tropical rainforest. That combined with the lightly laid tracks and usage of logs (sticks in reality) to hold the catenary wires makes this feel like a ride on a remote jungle line in a place like Bolivia or Peru. That's what I thought this was when I saw the thumbnail. Many modelers try to use plastic models created and painted in meticulous detail to try to make a perfect representation of the real world in miniature, but I find it much more interesting when using found objects from the real world - plants (alive or dead) being the ideal form of such, along with the rocks and concrete rubble forming boulders and fallen rock, a culvert used as a tunnel lining, and so on. I get the sense that not much of the "scenery" was built for this line, it was just built into an existing semi-natural backyard that was used in it's existing form perfectly to create this spectacular illusion. Only thing missing from this tropical jungle is some grazing capybaras alongside the track - some light brown guinea pigs would be perfect.

      Glad you enjoyed it! :) There's a lot to be said for using low budget existing materials, I think a lot of people tend to over engineer garden railways. This is located in Melbourne, Australia. You're more or less correct, a lot of the scenery was existing though a fair bit of earthworks was required in some locations. The line has a significant level change from one end to the other. Towards the end of the video we see more of the natural vegetation for this area, but the lusher vegetation at the start is an irrigated area and is quite artificial. This part of the world is normally too dry for ferns to grow. Haha I do need some guineapigs, but I already have some giant fluffy velociraptors!
