Running G Scale trains on a layout in the back yard. This initial track loop was completed in late December, 2017. Plans are to expand this railroad over time and to constantly improve it. Most of these trains are 1:29 scale, although some of the older steam engines are as large as 1:22.5. Stay tuned as the trains, layout and landscape evolve!

Basement Trains!

Running multiple trains on an indoor g scale basement layout. This is temporary until I can get a new outdoor railroad built. Can you tell which train runs off batteries and which one is track powered? Thanks, stay tuned for more!
Unboxing: New Old Stock Model Train Car!
มุมมอง 1.3K4 ปีที่แล้ว
After 14 years, this g scale gondola will see the light of day! This car was made by Aristocraft Trains, which sadly went out of business during the Great Recession years of the late 2000’s. This is a mint, new in original box item I found on eBay. The box is stamped 8-24-2006, and the car has 2006 painted on it. There’s still a lot of items like this floating around out there! Thanks for watch...

Could it get any better? Watching trains from the deck. Our property backs up to the MNA Railroad’s property, which gives us plenty of train action at our new place. I also show our new back yard, which is a blank slate for the next garden railroad build. Thanks so much for watching...Over 1k subscribers now! You may start to notice some ads in our videos.

End of an Era: Last Train on this G Scale Layout
มุมมอง 4.3K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Join us for a final day enjoying this garden railroad. JR Railroad is moving, so this layout will be coming to an end...but don’t fear! We plan to tear everything up and bring it to the new house, where we’ll have the opportunity to build it back bigger and better. Stay tuned for tear down video and upcoming new construction! Leave comments on what you’d like to see on the NEW JR Railroad!

MASSIVE Brick Load: G Scale Diesels Pushed to Their Limit!
มุมมอง 5K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Today we tested the pulling power of a couple g scale GP9’s. The results were pretty impressive! The extreme weight on the axles caused a lot of friction and the cars had quite a bit of drag. Ball bearing wheels would have made a big difference here. I was honestly surprised that the bricks didn’t break the plastic flatcars! Subscribe to JR Railroad so you’ll be notified of all our new videos!

After making some track repairs we tested the layout with some maximum speed runs. Also got some close up action on the locomotive trucks and wheels...lots of fun. Right now we’re doing some work on some new train cars, so subscribe to JR Railroad so you don’t miss any of our upcoming videos!
Railroad Rejuvenation for 2020!

Hard rains, animals and other elements wreaked havoc on the railroad this summer. Now that most of the plants are dead, it’s a good time to trim everything up and fix the track before the snow flies.

Testing long trains on the layout. I know there are videos of guys running well over 100 cars, but this train is pretty long for JR Railroad and feels like a good size. Thanks.

I added a mechanic’s shop to the layout and new boxcars, flatcars and a new caboose to the trains. I’ve really enjoyed expanding JR Railroad and hope you like the video. Thanks.

I added about 60 ft to the mainline and 15 feet to the siding on JR Railroad. It was a fun project, and now we will be able to run multiple long trains. Thanks!

Der untere Teil des Schneepflugs ist nicht gewinkelt. Daher schiebt er einen Schneekeil vor sich her, der einen großen Widerstand erzeugt. Die LGB-Lojomotiven haben. Außerdem zu wenig Masse.
Thanks, your video was awesome and helped me out. Thanks again.
Just awesome video! Two shouts out from Pakistan on Independence Day!!!
That’s a rollercoaster of a ride.
Bachmann bought out most aristocraft equipment. Same factory in China. Aristocraft couplers are still available through bachmann. I use them.
This is going to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen now that's playing with your toys in the snow that's the only bad thing about living where it doesn't snow a lot in the Deep South like in Texas four other Southern States but that's got to be one of the coolest things I have literally ever seen I would build one of these in a Northern State add the opportunity to do so
Neat!!!❤
Schöne Aufnahmen aber die Züge fahren viel zu schnell
Not as popular this time around
Very helpful. Thanks.
Hey man what happened? Where did you go? Your videos were really good! The coupler vids were great and really well put together…..
Thanks. I ended up moving and never built a new layout. I got a job as a train conductor, so I traded the models for the real thing but it takes up a lot of my time. I still have all the trains, and maybe one day I’ll build a new railroad. Thanks
What couplers would you use for passenger cars?
Forgive ny ignorance but why not use the 907 on everything?
Thank you. Wonderful for newbie like me! Much appreciated
Loved the video But! Why drill holes thru the model, I make the build up strips and glue with JB Weld never let’s go.
Very helpful the ones that I use are unbranded But work well trouble is don’nt know where to get more . Thanks
I found out today that the USA trains coupler is NOT a direct fit for their USA GP 30 locomotive. The drawbar on the locomotive looks nothing like the diagram, so I tried to modify the old hook and loop drawbar to make the USA coupler fit. I eventually want to convert to Kadee on the GP30.
Did you ever do a video on putting them on lgb just wondering how hard it is compared to aristocraft
What is the difference between the gauges one is 880 and one is 980 help please
These videos sure help me i want to go to kadee but real had no idea where to start lol I've had g scale for years but never really done any mods lol
I mounted some Bachmann couplers on a LGB Santa Fe caboose. They fit directly onto the trucks, but that little whip like spring on the coupler has no place to go. Has anyone come up with a way to make them work?
Hello, how hard or how easy was the Airwire and Phoenix conversion? Thanks, looks and sounds great!
Maybe try spraying a little bit of WD-40 on the plow blade. It should keep the snow from sticking and make it roll the snow up away from the track better. Awesome video
Cool
WOOHH!!!! YOU HAVE TRAIN SHOWS IN YOUR BACKYARD?!?! ME TOOOO!!!!!!!! 💝🥰🎉💝🥰🎉
This is great! BTW, what sound are you using?
Thanks. Engines have Phoenix sound systems
I can see why you have to put pea gravel in your wedge plow!

Hola soy de Perú muy hermosa locomotoras en que parte de usa están saludos Juan Carlos
So fun to watch. Thanks for posting
Good info
Add weight to the power units
It's rather important to distinguish what scale the object is that is receiving the coupler. 1:32 or 1:29 G scale is not 1:24 or 1:22.5 LGB or 1:20.3 Fn3/G Bachmann. Bachmann's or LGB's coupler should Not work well sizewise in 1:29 scale, naturally.
Try waxing the plow.Might work.
Super krása 👏 🙌 👍
Thanks for posting this. It helped me narrow down my couplers pretty fast. I run a bunch of small industrial prototypes in the garden and I ended up using the Kadee #1 type E scale couplers, they are a great MCB 3/4 size option on 1:20.3 equipment. They look right on Bachmann Porters, Davenport, and the four wheel industrial cars. The Kadee #1905 with a prototypical looking, bolt on coupler pocket looks fantastic on my engines and was super easy mount. Thanks again for putting this together. Saved me a lot of trial and error.
do kadee couplers work on all g scale cars. thannks
Nyc dear all video good you hard work god bless you
Too much fun...
No garden.
Genius! I have say though, looking at this, and how well it worked, only makes me think the next step is creating a homebuilt rotary plow.🤔
Outstanding video. I am wondering what to replace my "hoop and hooks" with and I really appreciate how you lined up all of the possible couplers and explore their good an bad points!
simple and fun !
Awesome info !! Subed!
You should show how you made such an amazing snow plow in just a few hours. It would make for a great video!
Awesome video. Thank you

ya ever ride freight trains - cool video - love SP - ride SP for ton of years - thanks for the info -
Nothing sounds more satisfying than listening to model trains hitting the small gaps on the tracks!
