Project Driog - Episode 4 - A 16mm Garden Railway

In this video build log we'll take you behind the scenes of building a garden railway, and show you how we do it. There'll be mistakes along the way and things will change and develop but that's part of the fun of it!
So come and follow along with us, as we build the SLR V2!
Scoop:
The scoop in the video is a Thermalite scoop but it appears they are no longer available. However, Tackburn make a steel thin joint scoop that is just their version of the same thing: www.tackburn.co.uk/thin-joint...

Thank you, I'm told my face was a picture when I realised that I won, thank you, I'm over the moon, never won anything via TH-cam, nor had my comment flashed up, so it's a first for me. Thank you, and thank you for your videos, you're amazing 😊

[@Infinitybal1233]

And life is breathed into the SLR once again! Lovely seeing this project progress, best of luck!

[@kymvalleygardensdesign5350]

Your hard work has paid off at last, and yes I am still weeding mine but I hoping to fix down a bit more track later today if I get the time.

[@damianl3]

Having the camera in the car shows how smooth the line is. Good job!

[@TheOrchardLine]

Looking good! Always great to see the first train on a new section of track.

[@bradturbo44]

[@paulgalyet5308]

Nice work, good to see trains running already.

[@MarkCalvert]

Great video and good to see trains running. Thank you for the recommendation for the track gauges, I've ordered some from Wood Valley works.

[@16mmscaletrains]

Looks good! I'd love to come have a run when you get it finished. I can't till I have the garden to build one of my own

[@wideyxyz2271]

Looking really good.

[@mikesanders5433]

I’ve just discovered your channel, great videos and looking forward to the progress. It’s giving me ideas for my garden 🙂

[@ULYISCES]

Se puede colocar cambios de velocidad a control remoto, pero que funcione a vapor...

[@caroleast9636]

High speed on the edge of a precipice is risky. You really don’t want to see a hard landing…unless you like major rebuilding of precious items

[@theafro]

well, I guessed 5! but I am from the future so it's hard to rule-out cheating.

[@SouthgateLightRailway]

You time travellers do cause us problems 😉

[@theafro]

@@SouthgateLightRailway I'm all caught up now, no more temporal shenanigans I promise.
