So there's been a few people asking why not a blower as well? Short answer is that it isn't really needed, and doesn't actually help much. There's a lot of plants, structures and rocks close to the track along most of the line, so there isn't really anywhere to blow the debris to. Also no herbicide here, because again it doesn't actually help much on the main type of weed and has a high risk of causing off target damage on the native vegetation.
Day 43. We continue to hack our way across the garden... Trees many, many times the height of our locomotive impose themselves over the tracks, one wonders how many decades, or even centuries they took to reach such immense proportions. No river at home can compare to the mighty spans we have crossed. The work is arduous. If this is one season's growth, I cannot imagine the toll of man and beast that must have been taken to clear the route and lay the tracks.
Agreed. I can’t help but marvel at it all. It’s a wow, just wow moment for me. Still confused as to why it was in my recommended feed tho, but I too love to explore the weird and wonderful that are people’s dedicated passions..
No interest in trains, large or small. Don't even care to prune my garden regularly (Grows quite well without my interference.) Still and all, calmly entertaining now the green ginger is below its plimsoll line.
Yeah I agree I don’t have an interest in trains but I love models I love model kits I love watching peoples set ups regardless of what it is it’s pretty cool this is pretty cool this is gonna be one of the best set up so I’ve seen
Yeah, me too ! But at the same time it pisses me off that I don't have the time to do something like that. (Build a huge model railroad in my back yard)
Incredible custom built cars, railroad, anything! The track layout looks natural, no plactic building awkwardly standing around, just a functional, wonderful railroad. Respect my dude!
@@mikerider8540 Uh oh - now I'm imagining a couple ketchup filled people trying to cross the tracks. Or that ketchup truck that just HAS TO make it around the crossing before the train.
No I cannot get into trains too. I already brew mead, paint warhammer, play video games, hunt, fish, own boats, tune engines, drive nitro RC and enjoy camping. PLEASE DONT GET ME INTO MODEL TRAINS TOO! 😂😂😂
Right!?😅 I went for Z-scale (6mm wide track) because it will fit in a suitcase. I am adding lights to my trolley because it never came with any and the 0402 smd LEDs are pennies. T-Scale is even smaller (3mm)but the wheels are magnetized so they can be put on ridiculous things like a wearable hat.😅
Absolutely love the ingenuity and practicality of these little darlings. The details of this whole setup are excellent, the only thing that gives away that it's not full-scale is the plant proportions!
Super. I bet the weed whacker and the brush cutter also make a great show when they are being used as a snowplow. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Ironic. You probably have the second or third best powered "plow" that I have ever seen in a TH-cam video, and you don't have any snow. 🙂 I use a push plow in front of three or four locomotives, sometimes for snow, sometimes for leaves and sticks, but my railroad doesn't have the lovely greenery like yours. I have seen everything from a beautiful, fully functional, digital miniature Rotary Snow Plow and Flanger car combo, to a flailing chain connected to a motor strapped to a flatcar with a battery. I can't wait to see your idea used as a "snowplow" down the road, especially when the snow is deeper. 💙 T.E.N.
@@tracynation2820 It doesn't snow at all here, so I'm probably not going to have the chance to test that. I've seen some cool snow clearing equipment from other countries though!
You know, this hit me with a spark of inspiration. There's this guy who strings together like 6 pushmowers in a diagonal configuration to mow his lawn in one big sweep. I'm imagining a rail kinda like this, guiding them along the edge of a lawn. The rig could be housed in a purpose built shed that the track leads from and returns to at the end. The idea of a self mowing lawn is just so appealing to me. And not just because mowing is a pain. Its the principle of the matter. We should have these kind of things, it's supposed to be the future, goddammit.
This is like the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! I have all my Lionel stuff in the basement from when I was a kid. This got me so excited to get it back out and set it up some time.
our local ride-on 2ft gauge railway in Blenheim, New Zealand has a lawn mower device. They mow the tracks about two or three times a month. Works very well. If you are in NZ on holiday and you have come over on the ferry from Wellington to Picton with your car, drive 27km south and you are in Blenheim. It is only another 3 plus km to Bradshaw Park where they operate. Track is just under 5km and the round trip takes about 1 hour.
Your new vertical cutter is a great add-on and does a complete job. I just wonder if that should be placed behind the older "track clearer" car as that may lessen the chances of a derailment. Anyway, it's great to see another video from you!
I found this is the configuration that works the best, since the vertical cutter often removes large fern fronds and the like that need further chopping when they fall on the track.
I don't know why it's taken this long for the TH-cam algorithms to put forward your channel as a suggestion. Instant subscription here. Fantastic backyard railway action. With the overhead you could buy very cheaply little beads to make insulators
Awesome, you had me tricked. I thought that this was a drone video of an actual railroad trimming some dense vegetation in a third world country! You've an fantastic layout. This must take a long time to cultivate the vegetation. It beats the fake grass by a large margin. Great job.
I was so confused when I saw "It is well and truly winter now" and then I saw your channel was named Melbournesparks. Great video! You are lucky that the blade thing didn't hit you at 6:20.
Winter in Victoria is the wet and weedy season! I definitely wear PPE when operating this, it can throw all sorts of things a good distance including parts of itself.
Bravo, well done! I have never seen a model railway outdoors before. I did have a friend many years ago who lived right by the the bay, and the amount of salt in the air caused his rails in his garage setup to corrode very quickly. He had a cleaner car he would push around ahead of the locomotive, with steelwool moistened with alcohol underneath, to clean the corrosion off the rails. But that is the closest thing I have ever seen to this truly ingenious maintenance setup of yours. What a truly enchanting video. Liked and subbed!
Really awesome end result, looks beautiful. Would be cool to see the mowing vehicles even more stylized like some kind of railroad equipment, i really like the style youve chosen looks lovely and fits the environment well
Your track is so nice! Having it so natural, diverse vertical elevations and having it cleared *by train* makes it feel so authentic, small-scale-oriented and cosy. Bravo. I hope I can make anything remotely like this if I ever got into RC trains.
Some videos are just addictive. My apologies, and to my wife's shagrin, I watched your video twice instead of cutting the grass. Cheers and thank you for the entertainment.
This is very satisfying! It also highlights the real reason I and many others enjoy trains as hobbies. Sure, running a train is fun. But the job of engineering a way around the obstacles you face is an ongoing challenge across multiple disciplines. Modelling trains is cool. Modelling reality is even better!! Nice looking layout too. Thanks for the video.
The Makita battery is wonderful in there. I use them for not just kids power wheels, but so many other things around my shop and railway. The advent of the adapters for sale on amazon has made the conversions much easier for me. Great work.
This is more fun than swinging the weedwhacker around by hand, it did cut a nice tunnel trough the clover field. If I choose to build a 5" line in my garden I could put my Stihl petrol weed whacker on it, but sadly it's going to be O gauge, so the electric variant you have is the only option. Nice addition for your track is a rotating horizontal brush to remove leaves and mos from the tracks, or a leaf/dust blower, you can buy these handy little ones .
Yes Sir!!! 👏 I see we went to the same school, "if the lawn gotten full of tree branches & mould heaps, go over it wirh the mower" 😱The blades, what blades ? 🤔 All the best from the very south of Sweden. 👍

It would be neat to have a sweeper that collects everything and runs it up a conveyor belt into an empty train car. Oh, and it would be awesome to see the track through a mini-camera on board. Very nice video! Have a good one!
I feel like I’m in Jurassic park cleaning up the tracks but just absolutely blown away by your layout just so gorgeous❤❤❤ and only one more thing you need a caboose blower car to blow the tracks off but still amazing work.
I enjoy watching people's garden layouts and how they deal with nature. Not seen vegetation cutters before, but I think it's great, I usually only see snow blowers. Both good fun to watch
I love you train you got the longest model train track I ever seen on video it is freaking awesome I love it when it comes to grass it's so satisfying thank you again for the wonderful video you're pretty awesome
Thank you, delightful track, garden and hobby. I laughed so much seeing the "John" with the door wide open, what a way to... go! Brilliant, you are a man and also a kindred spirit, thank you. Will subscribe to your outlook for a while and will watch many more 🙏
the scarey thing is in places of the UK they actually use trains sort of like this in spring time. and they look just as horrifying, you can sometimes see them working just before the track cleaners appear.

That is so damn cool! There used to be a man in my old neighbourhood who had built a model railroad big enough to ride on; the track ran all around his property and was inset where it crossed the sidewalk & driveway. Most people called it the ghetto, but our beloved Cass Corridor was one of the most amazing neighbourhoods in all the world in those days. Joel was an eccentric man even by my standards, and I didn’t know him well, but it makes me sad to drive past his house now. After he passed they tore up all the tracks, and you cannot even tell where they once were...

How do you clear the rails and sleepers?
Probably also a good idea to avoid blower since clover parts can reroot wherever they land.
Then how about a brush car to just sweep bigger debris to the side to prevent derailments
how about a catch bin like riding mower?
Vacuum cleaner car ?
So... Apparently I WILL sit and watch an almost 9 minute video of a toy train cutting some weeds
