Never mind the train, you’ve got an awesome garden. 👍

"not made of money" looks at garden hmmmm Love garden railways though I'm more a 16mm man. There's something so appealing about seeing a little live steam narrow gauge engine winding round a garden with a rake of slate wagons rattling behind

Just like a true navvie, building through treacherous terrain. Awesome video!

Ground force. What a tune, remember watching that when I was a kid. Decking. Water features.

Great video! I work for PECO and production of products is back up and running, so no need to worry about not being able to get track!

Timelapses instead of cuts is really good for viewing. Especially for someone like me that stumbles in here by random "you may like this" and like the concept, but jumps forward as the cutting makes that anyway. And then maybe a voice-over during those timelapses to show what's happening, like "the digging was a pain but needed and get sure no curves are less radius than xx".

Evening Richard. Hope your well and safe 😃 Love the dog lol 😂 Absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 So glad that your doing this from scratch with your YouTube family 😆 I just didn't want this one to end 🤣 Can't wait for my bell 🔔 too ring for the next exciting episode 😆 Cheers Stevie 😎

Great‼️👏👏👏 To start with your dog is the 🌟 star. I always dreamt of a garden railway as a kid, & seeing this has made me wonder.....what if???? Really looking forward to the next instalment Richard. Stay safe. Cheers John B

That's a great video Richard, to me you have captured the idea of a garden railway, ie that's going around the established trees and shrubs instead of cutting them down and keeping the line straight, it's also good to build tunnels to go through high ground just like the real thing. It is certainly a railway as a part of the garden instead of just an outdoor layout, thank you for sharing this and I look forward to seeing your progress, take care, Paul.

Richard you have the perfect garden to build a o scale layout when do you plan to start your 00 gauge layout.

Love the post jacks! Taking copious notes for my build coming up. Can't wait for the next one!!

New Junction made me want a OO gauge layout (which I now have) because everything was explained so well and suddenly didn’t seem daunting. Here we go again!

Beautifully done! Be prepared for a constant battle with the plants, animals and the influence of the weather. My layout lasted 15 years, I finally gave in being tired of getting the trains going again after winter. And those trees dripping resin or whatever it is called. I had several in my garden, it made the trains stop after short while. Even the track cleaning loco wasn't able to tackle that problem. So it takes some careful planning and there are plants and trees that definately will spoil the fun! Kind regards, Willem from Holland.

God its gunna look amazing, what a wonderful garden to start with, amazing as always never let down with Richard and new junction ☺

Great video Richard, thanks for sharing. I’ve heard the smart money is on you knocking gardeners world off the Friday night spot with that opening sequence! On a more serious note brilliant video, looks like a great project and interesting to see how you have to build the railway around the current landscape, just like the real thing! All the best and looking forward to your next update, Paul

WOW!!! Richard you are going to have a lot of enjoyment from this railway, it is amazing and your new garden is fantastic, a great setting. All the best, Stephen

Interesting, informative, and this sort of work is actually quite relaxing. I could watch it all day.

I think that’s your best video! Really great viewing - can’t wait to watch the next instalment. I’m also incredibly jealous of your garden and the view you have!!! 👍👍👍

Awesome job Richard!! Thank you Lulu for your help :-) I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers Onno.
