Such a well made machine. That piston is handling a lot of weight effortlessly. Great work sir. I am also very sure that you are someone's amazing grandpa 👍👍
HAHA, yeah you hit the nail i recon! I got to a point in my life myself and said if i don't do this now i probably never will so just went for it.Now my bank account is empty , i spend all my free time in front of my lathe and mill and my hands are permanently stained black from machining cast iron all the time but it will be worth it in the end! Most of my younger friends don't understand but that's their problem.Always fancied a full sized loco but that's not really achievable right now, but never say never hey, if i end up with a decent inheritance in the future a big block of land in the bush and a private 2' gauge line sounds like a great way to grow old.Id build a loco from scratch if i had to.
Fabulous layout and equipment in a spectacular back yard. What’s not shown is the enormous amount of maintenance that must be required for both the railroad and the landscaping. Absolutely brilliant.
Lovely build! She seems very zoomy, launched faster than i expected. I have ridden behind a 2'6" gauge Climax and it was a very sedate experience indeed, It was referred to by most of the enginemen and crew as the "anti-climax" for this reason ;) Always found these and Shays very interesting.
What a wonderful time I've had traveling just absorbing you trundle around your garden! This really is a very effective way of slowing us all down, I think this simple kind of viewing is becoming more and more popular for good reason. Thank you for sharing. We film natural gopro walks through soulful cities but it's lovely to see someone just traveling around their garden.
“This property comes with dank rideable model railroad. Located in an excellent school district. A great house for raising kids. Not a good property for dog owners”
How nice to see an American designed engine in your beautiful garden. I am in America building a model of an English designed engine! It a smashing great video dear sir.
Luckiest kid (adult) to have a toy like this. My childhood friend Dad had a train like this in their backyard. I rode on it and after 54 years, I still remember it. Maybe that's what made me work for the railway. ? Grown men don't grow up.....we are too busy playing with our toys
This is just amazing! I hope to have a train set-up like this in my garden some day. I run 1:10 scale Jeep's and Land Rover's with a road and trail system in my garden now. When I move to a larger home my goal is to incorporate a train layout like yours. Incredible work!
thats cool. I would build a backyard railroad if I knew it would not de-value my property. There is a place not far from me that the owners built a nice looking backyard railroad in and they ended up selling the house and property but they got only 1/3 of what they were asking for the property because the real estate agency and city both devalued it because it had an "unnecessary modification" according the the city.. So I stick with model railroads and PC games..
I'm seeing very few climaxes. I just wondered what made you decide on that particular style. They are just as interesting as the other styles though. What is the ratio of piston strokes to one revolution of the wheel on this model and compared to the other styles, the Heisler and the Shay?

A lovely garden with a wonderful railway. Thanks for a great video
This is like: when you were a child, and had a dream that got stuck inside you and fulfil it oneday, even if you're old xD

Thanks, yes your right it does take quite a bit of time & effort but it keeps us fit & active & it's vert rewarding.

Amazing, I love this blog, no talking, just smiling, nice ,I want one my self, thanks y’all BigAl California.
When I die and go to heaven I'm gonna get me one of these.
Wonderful! Gorgeous garden too.
I love the garden railways, I would love one in my garden.
Same
What a big and beautiful garden you have. With a nice and powerful train. Thumbs up
I salute you sir, what a fine layout you’ve built! 6 minutes of utter beauty for a city dweller
Thank you, pleased you like it.
Cheers

Love the landscaping and the incorporation of the RR into it!
Beautiful layout and general landscape, mmm mmm!
liked it very much... beautiful garden and train journey is awesome
I would love to read an estate agent’s spiel if they had to sell this.
I'll take two
“This property comes with dank rideable model railroad. Located in an excellent school district. A great house for raising kids. Not a good property for dog owners”
@@Trainmaster909 The dog can ride the train too
Love your property! Landscaping is beautiful, bushes , trees and the hedge tunnel is impressive.
Thank's it does keep us busy, enjoy it though.
The track is so clean and fits in so well
Beautiful engine and what great surroundings. Was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for posting 🙂
Hi thanks for the comments pleased you liked the video.
one year later, thanks for the video..beautiful yard/garden..i got tired just thinking of the maintenance..
Beautiful Garden and Railway.
This is an awesome railway with an awesome loco. You should have public open days, give done rides. We'll all love it!
My favorite garden railroad video. Amazing job.
Thanks, the wife is the Gardener I am the lawn, bush & tree cutter oh & hole for plants digger.
Wow! That’s one of the largest backyards I’ve ever seen.
Very nice set up you have, I can only dream of such a nice place.
How nice to see an American designed engine in your beautiful garden. I am in America building a model of an English designed engine! It a smashing great video dear sir.
We invented em.
theres a climax in australia and im pretty sure it was made in australia
Beautiful English garden and American locomotive!
It's awesome but also makes me wonder what is the most exciting...making it, using it, showing it off, or maintaining it?
What a fantastic thing to have in your garden. I bet you're not thinking of moving, I wouldn't if I had a garden like that.
Definitely not moving until we get to decrepit to manage the upkeep
What a beautiful garden. It's really nice to see someone doing what they truly enjoy. I wish that I could do that. Good on you.
I so would love to see your garden. You have done a commendable job !
If you happen to get over to Lincoln pop in.
Whar a strange locomotive! It doesn't have any driving wheels. You are very lucky to have that enormous garden.
I really enjoyed watching this and I'd like to spend my 60s/70s like that!

Very impressive indeed - a layout to be proud of. Shame I don't live nearer, my Maxitrak 'Li'l Jo' would look quite good next to the Climax!
abolutely amazing and love the wildflower areas incorporated - a garden and railway of taste
Very Very nice, we have a electric F unit locomotive and cars in 7.5. I’ve always wanted a steamer
Some kind of wonderful !
Love it
Absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyed the journey and I want one....lol
Hehe, I like how your Climax' exhaust note makes it sound like a little diesel engine. :p Great railway overall!
One word, AMAZING!!! Ok two words, BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks
Amazing garden .
That’s a guy that couldn’t have a train set when he was a child .
Beautiful railway and garden.
Looks lovely would love to come here
The only word I have is, magnificent!
This is a beautiful dream,,,!!!!!!
Nice 👍! I’ll bet that train comes in handy whenever you’re moving heavy objects around the yard.
Nice rail footage with a lot of great filming
WOW! i want a garden like that :D
How do you get time to ride on the train, if also has to keep your garden so tidy. AMAZING 😊
This is just amazing! I hope to have a train set-up like this in my garden some day. I run 1:10 scale Jeep's and Land Rover's with a road and trail system in my garden now. When I move to a larger home my goal is to incorporate a train layout like yours. Incredible work!
That's some layout, beautiful garden also, really impressive

Sorry not sure of the scale
Omg. I want one I want one.
velia garcia i
Great fun , thanks 🚂
Amazing 😃
i've never seen a Live Steam Shay before, i just wonder how long it took to build him.
I don't know I didn't build it myself.
I'm impressed ;-)
2:20 Ha ha even the station is there.
How big is his garden!!
That is a beautiful setup! The loco is wonderful too! How large is your property?
Its about 140 yds long by 35yds wide.
Thank you so much! It seems like a perfect sized yard!
Subscribed in case you put up future videos of it
Fun..my sis got twins..n they will enjoy the ride...how much does it cost ? And the specs ..thx😀
Like the tunnel.
Proper mans machine the miniature steam loco.
No mountains, no hills, but there is a tunnel 😁

Hello people from all over the world I’m 11 and when I’m in my senior years who would like to attempt to run a miniature railway with me?
I'd be down
Aiden Chalke MEEEEEEE!im only 10 :D

What is the ratio of piston strokes to one revolution of the wheel on this model and compared to the other styles, the Heisler and the Shay?
Trying to work out the gauge. Is it 10 1/4.? Hard to tell.
Where are you from bro
Beautifull live steam.
