SDJR7F88 you are so right. I have had a layout in this garden for 29 years, although it has changed a bit over time. The locos just keep going. I have 8 in total, the youngest 0-6-2 i bought second hand in 1984 and they all run perfectly.
Thanks Phil. They certainly fit in with the narrow gauge theme. Oh yes, I've got around to painting a few more, though very tempted to paint them into SR Brown to be pair up with a certain loco, which will feature soon :)
Hi mate,another very good video,can i ask your advice,with your G scale layout is it fed by mains through the Piko or LGB electrical clips?,if so do you find any problems with this,being exposed to the elments,and do you use the extra rail joiners and again do you find any problems?I'am planning to build a small G scale layout myself,thankyou for your help.Ant
Hi Anthony, yes I do. However, I unclip them and take them in with the controllers when not in use. As for the extra joiners yes, highly recommended. They add strength to your joins and help with conductivity. Hopefully some of my updates on the construction might be of help. They also show how to use graphite paste with the joiners too. Hope it's of help
@@SDJR7F88 Thankyou that's a great help,i have experience in N gauge with Kato track and also with 00 Peco track,but my experience with G scale track is zero.I have watched several of videos on building your layout,they are great and helpful too.I did have a Bachman class 66 and Piko Tauras,but i traded them with Andy at Kent Garden Rail.He did me a good deal,and i got a Piko starter set,with an oval of track,a 0-6-0 green livery loco BR 80 and 2 coaches,and a controller,i also got 2 4ft lengths of track aswell as part of the deal.I had some waggons already,the same as ECR trains sell.the plan is when i move later this year to build a small layout with maybe a passing loop and maybe a siding,approx 16ft to 20ft long,nothing too big,i scaled down because the other locos needed an 8ft radius.thankyou for all your advice cheers all the best Ant
Okay, thank you! I was looking at a few on eBay and Amazon, and they didn’t say if it worked in America or not, so I was nervous to buy one if it would not work on my indoor layout. Thank you for responding so quickly! ;)
For God’s sake : 1- transformers have multi voltage inputs nowadays and in the rare case they do not then there is always the good old voltage converter . 2- LGB is already big in America for many years now . As a model railroader I find LGB is tough and reliable plus it runs with no trouble both indoors and outdoors 👍🏽😊🚂
@@KCSRailstudios You can have a 110V transformator especially for useing them in the USA. The output of the transformator will always be 9-22 V at the track so the locos are the same you only have to buy a US transformer to use them in the USA.
1. LGB produces equipment for the standardized 45mm gauge that all G-scale equipment uses, with a maximum track voltage of 24v which is standard for G-scale. All modern LGB digital equipment is DCC standards compliant, although their own control systems use a 14 speed step system rather than 28 speed steps to maintain backwards compatibility with early proprietary Lenz-MTS equipment (which otherwise still uses DCC standards). 2. LGB also produces transformers and power packs designed to take 110v 60hz AC input. This used to include starter set power packs, but recently LGB has switched to a power pack setup designed to take a standard "wall wart" style connector in order to reduce costs - as a result, only the transformer is region-specific, with the throttle being standardized across all regions. 3. You don't have to use LGB power packs/transformers. I run my LGB equipment with a USA Trains Train Power 4 power pack since I run multiple trains at once with analog signal block control on my layout and I need the extra amps. This includes multiple 2-motor locomotives and multiple pieces of rolling stock with interior and/or exterior lighting.
Great video, hope to see more? I don't know if you have heard of Stephen Atkingson on TH-cam? I strongly suggest you look him up. He dose great video's of scratch building on this scale! believe me you will be glade that you did, if you intend to build up your garden railway...!!!
Bought my first LGB locos and rolling stock in 1975, they are still going strong after 45 years!!!
They really are superb models!

Very beautifull video, beautifull raiway network with flowers👍
Many thanks! Glad you like the layout
@@SDJR7F88 Thank you 😀👍
Nice variety of locos, I see more wagons have been done up!
Thanks Phil. They certainly fit in with the narrow gauge theme. Oh yes, I've got around to painting a few more, though very tempted to paint them into SR Brown to be pair up with a certain loco, which will feature soon :)
this is perfect, I love the flowers and all the greenery
Many thanks Rachel. Glad you like it
Nice selection of rolling stock now, rewarding you with some nice shots too. Laurie.
Thanks Laurie. The collection is certainly growing. Glad you enjoyed
Looks amazing, just love the lgb stuff.
Thanks mate! Really is a great stuff. Rugged and reliable :)
great running session. the railways is looking good. just need to get mine G gauge line up and running
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed! Really was great to get it up and running again. Oh yes! Looking forward to seeing some videos when you do :)
Quite delightful! I'd love to have something like this.
Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed :)
This is the most wholesome comment section ever
Thanks
My dad made a layout for me when I was a kid. Still have some today
Nice. Garden Railways are always fun
Awesome! :D I have the exact same Stainz at 2:47.
Thanks mate! Oh yes! They certainly are very handy little locos :)
3:17 it g scale model look like Duncan from Thomas the tank engine
Sort of :)

Cool session! Did i notice u had lettered up some stock for the railway? And hw many G locos u gt nw
Thanks Matthew! Yes, finally got around to it. Though I may change the livery at some point. Think about 16, including the Live Steam and R/C Models.
Nice 🚂
Thanks Gary!
I see you everywhere
You've accumulated a considerable stable of rolling stock and locomotives. Very nice. Rob
Thanks ever so much Rob. Certainly have. Very pleased with the little B&BLR Goods Rake I'm building up. Really suits the railway well
what set does the orange stanz come in? I have never seen one before.
It's a Otto from the LGB ToyTrain Starter Set :) It came with a orange and grey open wagon with digger
@@SDJR7F88 It is the toytrain "work train " set. I too have it and I like it.
Aww, this is amazing! I just have one question. Will the LGB trains work in America? Because we have a different voltage in America than Europe.
All comparable, as LGB do controllers for the US market :)

“LGB”😂 what an unfortunate logo to be stuck with!
In what way? Lehmann Gross Bahn, German for Lehmann Big Train.
I have 020 Stainz et Deutz. I will buy a little loco like Otto or 020 réf 24141 👍

Sadly all gone now as I've moved home. Will certainly check him out
Good one Callum Marklin is making some money off of you lol
Thanks Dan! They sure have :)
Train
Yes
