I like what looks like On30 on your window sill.
Totally awesome. I can sit there all day
What can I say that hasn’t been said in praise of your garden railroad, and a very good video? May your layout never be quite finished!
Big WooooW!!!! Simply Masterful example of a Classic American Railway Garden",.... Grand and Spectacular "... thank you very much Friends!!!!.....
Wow, ... very interesting, ... great fun, ... Thank You for sharring, super tallanted, ...
Compliments for a great layout. I find yours trestle bridges especially impressive. Some one has spent many hours at the table saw. The idea of dropping the plastic ties between your own cross timbers had never occurred to me. A convincing solution. Excellent video presentation.
I love all the trains.
Awesome train layout!
Grawesome train layout! Wonderful video
Great layout.
A great layout, class locomotives and trains. It astonishes me that the K37 of AccuCraft drives through these radii. I always have trouble with my locomotive that lifts them off the track.
Impressive video. Greetings from Germany
Beautiful layout.
Super. I love the whole "K" series of D&RG narrow gauge 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotives, and your K-37 #490 is looking mighty fine. K-28 #478 is my favorite. An incredible layout. P.S. Wouldn't it be "Fn3" scale, narrow gauge, and "F" scale, standard gauge? Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Great video and really nice layout.. Thanks for posting. Noel
Beautiful layout. I would REALLY love to see more overhead and or drone shots showing the entire layout at once. It's really hard to get a visual when everything is close up. Thanks
Great job.
Nice layouts, getting ideas for my o gauge garden railroad...
Excellent RR and very good photography on a difficult (moving) subject. Ronn
Very nice tour of the railroad!
Loved watching this, nice jobs, great details
Great railroad and very entertainment video! Best wishes for your future projects.
Very nice ,love it.

The wonderful 'sedate' scale speeds really enhance your operation-- and the weathering is very impressive, too-- I wish I had the space for an Fn3 Layout similar to yours, but since I am a dedicated LIve-Steamer, mine would of course be 'Live-Steam' Ops which may or may not be practicable.....
Wow!!!!!! Love to see this!!! Super D duper.
Toy Man Television Thanks! I’m sure the owner would be happy to have you over if you’re in the area! Let us know.
I love your layout very much and can't wait to see more. I have a small outside layout and wish I could go bigger also
Thanks so much.
Very nice video.. Great detail. Thanks for showing it. Noel
great video , fantastic railroad . subscribed even though i'm never going to build a garden railroad :)
Great layout, love the video. From South Africa
Thanks for sharing this great video. I always need ideas. Joe
Awesome layout. Great video.
Great video and great layout.
If all your videos are going to be like this I hope you do more than one a month. If you intend to be viable on TH-cam you need to do a bunch of them not just one a month LOL this was great stuff. Thank you so much
Thanks! And, you're right... a good TH-cam channel should post a lot more content. Unfortunately even one a month has proven too much. But a second video will be posted later today or tomorrow, and a third (hopefully!) within another month or so.
Hey Ben , I'm in Sacramento and just getting into G scale. I have a Shay and am getting a Climax tomorrow!!! WOOHOO!!!! Love to get in touch with you guys. My name is Chuck
1:07 A K-27 painted into California Western 45. The locomotive that is at the Skunk Train, which runs from Fortbragg and Willits, California.
Awesome Ben.... glad I subscribe...
Awesome Ben! New Sub right here
I subscribed.Joe's train world videos 😀😀😃
😍😍😍🚂🚂🚂
Great video 👍. New subscribe
never heard of F Scale before is it using G scale track for narrow gauge prototypes?
How did you get the battery put into your trains and those are someone that helps do that or teach that?
These are big locomotives with plenty of room for batteries. There are experts that help with installs like this, but also many resources to learn to do it yourself. The simplest installs are just a battery connected to an Airwire board connected to the motors. Where it can get complex is lighting, smoke, animation.
F surely stands for fun😊 But what is the scale ratio ?
“F” scale is 1 : 20.3
Fantastic railroad, but what I wanna know is, WHERE can I buy that t shirt from the beginning?
"G - Garden Railroading. Appropriate for all ages and skill levels. Strong outdoor themes. Realistic action sequences. Periods of intense enjoyment"
that cracked me up and I want one
This shirt was from Creative Zest; it was their design but I custom ordered it in green. I don't know if they are still in business but you could check with them: facebook.com/creativezest/
Is F scale bigger than G scale?
What types of plants are the “trees” on the mountains?
What engine is that on the floor next to you at the beginning?
My MTH GS-4 Daylight is on a short bookcase next to me in the introduction, and that's a USA Trains Big Boy on the trestle behind me. Eventually we'll do a narrated episode of my garden railway, but in the meantime you can see this locomotive running here: th-cam.com/video/aDzZDzDYv18/w-d-xo.html -Ben
Really enjoyed the video. I am in the process of constructing a garden railroad in Glendale, Arizona. Wish that Ed would provide some details on how he lays the track bed work in concrete (since he says he is redoing portions, would be a great video). Also like to know where he gets the ballast and small stone work for around buildings. Last, because he gets more rain and cloudy days in his area, are the buildings moved at various times of the year and stored?
E Larsen Thanks! I’ll check with Ed about these questions. And thanks for your suggestion for a future episode! I don’t know anything about Ed’s technique, but I also built my railroad with concrete roadbed, mostly using dry mix. I wrote about it on MLS a few years ago: forums.mylargescale.com/16-track-trestles-bridges-roadbed/37954-building-pacific-inland-express.html#/topics/37954?page=3 (eventually we’ll do an episode on my railroad, but want to cover “finished” railroads first, and mine is still as under construction as ever) -Ben
@@sacramentovalleygardenrailway Thanks Ben, I am using a similar method of "mountain building", but have stalled on some of the concrete roadway work. Mainly because my wife wants the Master bedroom bath remodeled, so train work has taken a back seat. I haven't posted a lot of pictures to MLS, since I find their picture handling and uploading instructions and methods are very cumbersome. Much easier on Facebook/AOL or any of the email sites. When I have some patience, I may try to muscle through it.
E Larsen cool, sounds good. My railroad goes on the backburner for years at a time too. And I don’t post on MLS these days either. Mostly I use Facebook and TH-cam. -Ben
I would have loved to have my track on road bed like yours but with 2000 feet of track had it up one post. Have rock but not enough to do what i want and a back that is not the best condition.
Great great job with your railroad my only question what is f scale
“F” scale is 3 ft narrow gauge trains running on 45mm (G-gauge) track. The scale ratio is 1 : 20.3
Super. That would actually be an Fn3 narrow gauge track layout, as an F scale layout would have wider standard gauge track. F and Fn3 my man, just like O and On30 or HO and HOn3. 💙 T.E.N.
Ben what's your advice for someone who is interested in getting in to this scale of model railroading?
I would recommend connecting with others in the hobby; join a local club if possible, but if not then attend a national show or garden railroad tour and ask a lot of questions. You can also get plugged to some great hobby groups on Facebook.
@@sacramentovalleygardenrailway cool thanks i work with o gauge but i want to expand my horizon cosidering i have litte room for my huge ideas its a prefect solution to my problem
I'm not familiar with F-scale. What is it supposed to be? A sort of Narrow Gauge G-scale?
Yes; 3 ft narrow gauge scaled to fit 45mm (G-gauge) train is considered “F” scale, or 1 : 20.3
Fn3, F narrow gauge 3 foot. 💙 T.E.N.
What’s the difference between F scale and G scale ?
F scale uses the same track as G scale but the track represents 3’ foot narrow gauge trackage as opposed to representing 4’ 8.5” track. So the locomotives and rolling stock have to be bigger than G scale in order for it to be prototypically correct. Both G & F scale run on the same track but F scale is much larger! 😍
So Fn2 scale?
Fn3. 💙 T.E.N.
