Hey Josh. Great news. The loco finally showed up along with the link and pin couplers. I need to get some tools tomorrow as all of mine are in storage so as to get the coupler situation sorted out. Then I can hook up a couple wagons to the locomotive and pull a train! Lol It's the little things in life. I have about 3 meters of track now. And 4 wagons. I'm not sure how I can share pictures or video if I get that carried away. Cheers. Tim
That’s great news Tim, really pleased for you. You’re right about the little things in life.. I only started this as a distraction from everything that is going on in the world and it works for me! Once you get your track up and running you could create a video and upload it to YT. Take care, Josh
Looking good there Josh! I've received all my freight wagons now. There are 4. But STILL waiting on the locomotive! FedEx just can't get their act together it seems. I even have 3 meters of track now. So cross your fingers for me and hope the locomotive shows up tomorrow (Friday) here. best Tim
Thanks very much Marcus. It’s actually a mix of Peco SM32 (on the main straight section) and Peco SM32 points. Then the rest is all Cliff Barker 32mm track which is compatible.
@@joshw6226 Thanks mate. I'm just planning a garden railway and I am thinking of using SM32 track as well. Curious to know what radius curves you are using. Any advice most welcome!
That’s a great question Marcus and one I do not know the answer to (haha!). I have used Cliff Barker flexitrack and as a result, my curves are much tighter and less smooth than set track. The loop in the shed is brutally tight due to space limitations and as a result I can only really get four wheeled locos round there.
No problem. There’s so much you can do with a small space. I decided that I would only occupy one side of the garden and as a result I needed a balloon loop at either end. I always liked the idea of having a loop in the shed so that helps to hide one of the loops. All the best with the build.
Its looking really good and even better at night with all the lights! :)
Thanks Leesh!
Excellent selection of rolling stock coupled with a lovely selection well-filmed and well-edited visuals, great job as per always :)
Thanks as always, plenty more to come :)

Thanks Tim. Hopefully not much longer now. Will be worth the wait I am sure.

Wonderful! Just a question... is that LGB 45mm track or Peco SM32 track you are using?

Thanks Josh, I also have restrictions with space and also the Environmental Planning Officer (aka, my wife!). Cheers again for the info.@@joshw6226
