My wife's just pointed out that of the four British hobbies/passions, you've got three of them - dogs, gardening and model trains. All you need now is a reenactment society! Great work, looking forward to seeing the station
Richard needs a conductor uniform to wear while hosting.
Haha who knows what happens off camera
.......... and sports cars!
Model railwaying is also a kind of reenactment, isn't it?
Always reminds me of Will Hay , Oh Mr Porter !! . Nice one . Thanks . Dave
This has backfired on me - I'm making my wife watch it in the hope of her letting me have a garden railway, but now she wants a dog..........
Lmfao 😅
Don't forget the dog needs a garden railway;-)
@@70skid33 😂😂😂
Lol
.......and a baby 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
It’s so satisfying and relaxing to watch a model train run through a lush green garden. Beautiful work!!!
Thanks 😄
Yes Richard, from the thumbnail, it looks like it has come on loads, great work!
trains run now at long last haha
Thanks chap, it works which is a big leap
Good to see your update Richard, I have a 00 garden railway and I'm a retired garden railway builder, I'm always pleased to see the hobby move outdoors, a good way of compensating for the felt overlap is to put the felt/roofing felt under the track and adjust its thickness at the overlap, it also acts as a good shoulder when you ballast on top of it, I also never go tighter than a 4th radius on curves, your dog can also be trained to keep off the tracks as I have a 19 weeks old Jack Russell puppy and she already knows her limits LOL, keep up the good work Richard and looking forward to your next update.
Thanks Paul, top tips there
See the 4 legged foreman was still keeping a close eye on the work!! Looks great
Many thanks
Been waiting forvthis for a while. Looking forward to watching tonight at work
Thanks David
32:50 amazing work! Love O gauge, been looking forward to this video for a while!
Thanks
This is a great illustration of the perils of a garden railway before I get started on, well, watching more videos...
Your good mate Lulu has a really nice shiny black coat
I have been waiting for this a long time
Ditto lol
I love your garden Railway
Thanks Tina
Very nice to see the layout reaching full circle, love the section along the side of the garden where it really blends in.
I've also completed my own O gauge garden layout and this is now a complete branchline through my garden, I've got a fair amount of videos on my channel.
Everything has already been fitted with feed wires and a complete Dcc bus system underneith the board.
Having this controlled remotely via WiFi really makes the experience worth while!
Keep up the good work, looking forward to it.
Thanks pal
Never really been interested in Green Railways, but looking at yours I can now see the appeal. Your choice of music definitely helps! Keep on going!
Amazing mate. Thanks for sharing..
You're welcome Dennis
Finding this video today and knowing that the garden in our recently moved to house needs a slight rework, I might see if I can try and paste something of me to circle the garden. 😏
Thanks for inspiring me.
You're very welcome! 😄
Brighton Works from my home city!👍
what a superb update...notable highlights..one man and his dog show..brilliant...that right leg you need to get insured!! bird doo doo!!! the sax music is back ..brilliant...but the best bit for me was watching that lovely terrier go around absolutley wonderful and watching that is for me what makes this hobby so great!! brilliant brilliant update thanks for sharing!
Thanks chap, Lulu is a Cocker spaniel 😀
Every railway real or model is refined over time; sometimes you have to get it running to know what issues it has. Keep up the excellent work.
Oh and I love the use of rolling stock to hold your hardware and little bits as you were working. A genuine work train in action.
Ha its a convenient way of keeping bits together
Great work, and a great hobby. Hobbies keep us from going under.
All the best!
Great video Richard, good to see Lulu too. Looking forward to see some BR blood and custard teaks behind that A4 of yours, its looks stunning, all the best
You may like the next video ;-)
@@NewJunction I'm hooked (like i wasn't going to watch it anyway)
Nice job Richard.
Thanks pal
Fantastic progress buddy
Thanks Dylan!
Looking great like your video.
Thanks David
I've been looking forward to this next update, it certainly didn't disappoint. Cracking work Richard.
Many thanks Chris, hope you're keeping well
If you'll put some superelevation in your curves, you'll probably be pleasantly surprise how much better the bigger engines take those curves. Like the layout. Love the dog!! ...Claude
Thanks Claude
Certainly gives a good reason to keep on top of the gardening..😂! Top stuff 👌👍
Yes haha never ending problem haha
Lulu's a mega star in the making - how giving her her own channel?!
Good idea!
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.
Dean Park
Thanks Richard! Video production skills are appreciated as well as the tracks, trains and dog.
I look forward to the 3 1/2" track. Inevitable.
Thanks chap
Very happy it’s alllllll working out for you Rich 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
A lot of work having a garden railway but on a good day it is worth it, keep up the good work. Very enjoyable video
Totally John, you're right
Great update ! Lulu is so pretty and Dave will be glad the Sax is back haha
Haha yes to both!
Hi Richard can’t wait for the big reveal good luck hope everything goes well Kev Beighton Parkway
Thanks Kev
Well done Richard, just a lovely film with great progress on the railway
Thanks Tim
Just re-watching your previous episodes of this yesterday, was hoping for Ep 4 and boom, here we are.
Just for you lol
@@NewJunction hehe.
Oh boy, another update, I was SOOOOOO looking forward to this , it has been a while ! Great work, man. I'll be continuing the build process on my own railway this summer and your story is a great guideline.
Glad you enjoy it, will you be filming your build?
Brilliant update Richard. Really entertaining. Thanks. 👍
Thanks!
Wow, the garden railroad is really coming along!
Thanks! 😊
So jealous, great fun ,great video, looking forward to seeing your next one👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, won't be long 😀
Hi, Great video, Thanks for posting. If you want my 2 cents, I think if you put just a little more effort in your track work by shimming here and there and use a level and straight edge, and maybe a few track templets, you will be able to run your brass kit engines. All locomotives have a minimum radius and you will find over time with an outdoor railroad your track will always be moving. Heat and cold, rain and snow will always be a continuous foe. I have an outdoor layout and have learned that it requires a lot more work than I first thought, I really enjoy mine, but if I could, would rather have it indoors ( if space permitted ). It's still a great hobby, no matter how you slice it ! ....... Thanks, George
Looking great Richard 👍
Thanks Ian
Il a l'air super sympa ce gars! Bravo!
I mean the trains look great and everything, but the return of the classic New Junction saxophone soundtrack must surely be the highlight here. Aaaaaah it feels like home again, it's been so long...
Haha you're so right Phil!
Progress looks great. I have been waiting for a new update.
Likewise haha
Looking great 👍, so cool 🚂
Lovely stuff !
The railway looks fab & so does your dog!!
Looking forward to seeing more👍
Cheers John b😷
Thanks John
Great video, I’ve been waiting to see the progress. Good you’ve shown the loco issues - thank you
I'll show the fixes too
You probably should have hinged the removable section of track bed. There are "lift away" hinges that progressively get further away as you open them made for shed doors and such that would work for this purpose. Doing this would allow you to wire an electrical connection to the section to be lifted that could stay in place when the lift occurs and you wouldn't have to struggle with the weight of the section, which is obviously non-trivial.
Watch this space!
Great video; great compositional photography. Bravo. 🚂🚃🚉
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
It is interesting seeing the contrast with the way I am doing things.
I'm doing a garden railway in OO using aerated blocks as the base, removing wood from the structure means that hopefully I won't get problems with rotting or warping. The downside is that it takes a lot more effort to shape and set the blocks to get it flat for the track, however I do think that I've managed a much flatter base where it is close to ground level as I've not had any running problems with OO.
That was the worth it !!!
Thanks Paul
Top notch weathering effects!
I'm particularly pleased with the static grass
@@NewJunction On a side note, will there be a turntable or some way to turn around the engines by the station? And lovely dog! Is it a Spaniel with it's tail untouched?
@@psnauspuff Yes I'll add a run round loop when I get the the station update.
Lulu is a working Cocker spaniel with an intact tail. 😊
@@NewJunction She is beautiful. My first dog was English (golden) Cocker spaniel! She had the biggest appetite of all dogs I've ever had!
@@psnauspuff aww if we were to ever add to the heard it would be a golden one.
Wonderful Progress! Great to see. And yes, tight curves. I have the same issue on my OO scale garden railway!! Keep up the great work
Thanks Marcus
Like the video very much.Hope there's more.Take care
Plenty more to come
GREAT START. That would be neat to have it go all around your back yard. NICE ENGINES though.
Maby in time when budget allows 😀
I really enjoy this series, great job.
Thanks!
Very nice! I'm American O-scaler building my own indoor layout. Have you considered using radio control and battery power? Then you'd not have to worry about excessive oxidation of track exposed to the weather or power losses over the long distances.
To help your leading truck popping off, wrap a oil of plumber's solder around the axle to weight it down.
Hi Don, if I can find a good battery system I'll be sure to grab one.
Brilliant update Richard a few minor adjustments I think you make it work look forward to the next update. Hope you the Mrs and baby are all well. Kind regards Gary
Thanks Gary!
Very impressed Richard. Like your scenic technique when clearing pigeon items, simple flick into bush lol
Ha! Its good fertiliser
by the way , your dog absolutely adores you... What a cutey !
Shes the wing man
Brilliant video, glad it's going well! Got me tempted to get into garden railways now!
Nows the time, before the winter turns haha
Fantastic to see a year's worth of progress come to fruition, Richard - trains running! Of course Lulu is as much the star for me too as is the railway. Absolutely love her! "I've got 10 seconds" and she comes back in 3....hilarious! As always, love your presentation style. You make it so interesting and lively! Love the music too.....very catchy! What was the track when the Terrier was running? Soooo relaxing and appropriate for a steam engine casually chugging through the countryside......keep up the great work Richard. Already looking forward to the next video! :-)
Many thanks for the comment, really glad you enjoyed it! The song is called 'Miika's journey - Lama house'
@@NewJunction it’s a fabulous video as always Richard! So very well done! I’m still working on getting mine going, so your insight is invaluable. Btw thank you so much for confirming the wonderful music at the end. I agree with those here who have commented on the sax player too. I’m following them on Facebook right now. You should get commission on promoting both of their music...haha! ;-) :-)
@@MINTARKA101 haha if only! 😆
Good to see the garden railway coming along
Thanks David!
You should be able to modify the pony- had similar problems with gauge 1 track. Had to rebuild chassis with more 'play'.
Oooo will have a closer look
Yes and also consider a tiny bit of extra weigh in the pony, also try adding a sliver of the felt to the outside of the troublesome curve to shift the cg inwards. Just like the slight camber on life sized. Not so much that it tips inwards, but I had a similar problem on an indoor OO/HO years ago and two thicknesses of cardstock was enough to solve it placed under the outside edge.
Looking fantastic 👌love the A4 looks stunning
Thanks!
The Garden Railway is coming along nicely. Yes, you should have fitted some more nails and the missing sleepers, but the running has high lighted most of the problems. What a difference O scale is indoors and outdoors. Just one more thing that is needed and that is to ask the person who planted the obvious out of scale tree to replace it with one more to scale. Good luck with the rest of the build. Martin. (Thailand)
Thanks as always Martin
Fantastic video as always! Great to hear the sax from you again too! 😂👍
Haha its back, thanks!
Stunning layout, making me want to have a garden layout now. Good choice of music as well throughout 👍
Thanks DCB
It's always good to have a hound helper to lend a paw
Indeed 😃
Awesome job Richard! Cheers from the US!
Many thanks 😊
Have now listened to your concerns re the 2-6-4 going round your curves. Before you trade it in or spend more money, try first taking off the pony truck and/or rear bogie and see if the loco goes round as a 0-6-0. If it does then try to give the pony and/or the bogie more side play. That is sometimes all that is needed. It has nothing to do with the loco being made of brass or anything else.
Thanks Barry, will definitely give it ago!
Great stuff mate! Keen to see it keep progressing!
Cheers Will!
Loving the Garden railway. Simple thoughts for the brass kit, more weight on the pony truck. Also look at banking the corners of the track. The outside edge of the sleeps should be a full sleeper in height off the deck, where in the inside edge should be on the deck.
Oooo ill give it a go
Thanks for a great video, Richard. Don't give up on the Fairburn tank. There's a combination of some slightly iffy track laying, and a front bogie to adjust to give more play. Maybe a tiny bit of camber would help, some shims beneath the edges of the sleepers on the outside of the bends. Would also look realistic. Between the track adjustment and the loco tweak, it's fixable.
We'll get there
Most enjoyable Richard and some great shots there .....................Cheers Kev
Thanks Kevin 😊
Just brill sat out on a summers eve a nice beverage of choice and watching trains what more do you want 😀
You're dead right!
Great to see this amazing progress
Thanks Nicholas!
Hi there.
Watched quite a bit of the video and saw the section where the Fairburn pony truck came off on the curve. I’m 98% sure this is a track problem and not a loco problem. If you look closely the wheel comes of on what looks to be almost an Olympic scale ski jump. Level out the track either side of that high point and I bet the loco goes round no problem.
Lots of fetling required 😀
Great update Richard, cheers!
Thanks Warren
Looking good. Looks like a good pair of secateurs will be handy for trackside maintenance.
Yes, something with a plug on the end ;-)
Excellent job mate
Keep up the good work
Thanks Mr Dave
I know that sax music! Love t too (and love watching you build so I can sit and watch it.)
Great stuff
It’s funny watching your railway while I play with my real life NR railway on nights (just signalled a 37 on a Q train). Loving your garden railway so far and can’t wait to see the next instalments and its progress. All the best Richard.
Thanks chap!
Cracking video Richard, well done - very good progress!
Thanks chap
Stunning! A lot of work though; but looking forward to seeing the next stage. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Alex
Really interesting video.
I remember going to model train exhibits on the Isle of Wight and would happily stay there for ages, just watching all the trains moving around.
All the best for the future. 😎 Wayne
Thanks Wayne!
Great job and love the Dog 🐕❤️❤️
Ditto hehe thanks 😊
Wow! That’s neat!
Thanks!
Great video as always Richard, really looking good and will bring you lots of enjoyment for the future. Your A4 is just amazing, I want one 😍. Keep up the good work and stay safe
James
Thanks James as always!
looking good so far
Thanks Jamie!
A wonderful update. Hopefully the Fairburne issues can be resolved it’s a lovely locomotive.
Thanks Steve, nothing that can't be sorted
Sorry I miss lot you live stream I been work lot all your videos are brilliant and interesting and I different thinks
Thanks Graham
Wow, certainly cracking on now. Great to see trains up and running. The steam effects on that A4 are superb. I don't think I could cope with that raised balloon loop though - heart in mouth every time a loco went round it😅.
Haha live on the edge... literally
Oooooo I really can't wait to watch it. You have done some really good work on it tho mind, keep up the good work Richard ☺👍🏻
Will do, can't wait to play more hehe
@@NewJunction any diesel locos running today or have i just got to wait and see😀😉
@@treforestestaterailway7634 yes.... lots of trains being tested today
@@NewJunction Ooooo yes!... I definitely can't wait n, this is going to be good to watch 😀☺
@@treforestestaterailway7634 I hope so!
At the risk of upsetting some by the book types; you could try widening the gauge by 1-1.5mm on the curve at 21:16 assuming the wheel back to backs are the finescale standard of 29.2mm and atleast 3.5mm thick, I run coarse scale so pinch of salt and some experimentation may be required
Coming along nicely, great to watch your progress. Still watch your old New Junction video's for tips and advice while building my OO guage layout. Colonel Failure as a patron, cool😀
Great to hear and yes hes been one for a while!
Most interesting and entertaining. I've not the time to read all or even most of the 630 comments. However on any curve problem the first port of call is the correct superelevation of the track, assuming the track is otherwise even. Then look at the coning of the wheel tyres and the lateral articulation of the pony truck, coupled with its weight/loading. If the driving wheels are getting round that radius OK, there should not be an unsurmountable problem wirh the pony truck which is the most free to accommodate the curve.
Cheers Rick
Amazing Richard
Thanks Luke!
Solution..... Go Battery power.
No track cleaning required.
Hardly any wiring to worry about.
