Thank you!

Thank´s, I appreciate it!

The lights are scatch build by me. I have a video of building the prototype. Whatch this... ua-cam.com/video/BF8nBApxK_g/v-deo.html

I will wait for that reveal until the second platform is done, this will be amazing!

I was wondering why no one asked this question up to this video. Short answer is I want it to rust. I like the looks of the rust red steel edge and the stone paving. The steel will be fine for many many years even without paint.

Thank you for your interest. I want the steel edge to rust so it gets a rust red color. It will be fine for many years even without paint since this is very thick steel and it won´t rust very fast due to the dry climate and no standing water on it. I have build a similar edge 5 years ago and beside the surface rust it is in very good shape. I made a video about the installation of my electrical supply, this might give you some answers. ua-cam.com/video/chWWlh3tEEE/v-deo.html The many switches in front of the transformer all have a reason. I have 2 transformer so I have two on/off switches, one for each of them. Those are mounted to the right. In the middle there are 2 breaker units, each for every transformer. And last but not least there is a RCD "Residual Current Device". Breaker units and RCD are mandetory in Germany for such a installation, those will be constantly switched on. I will use the two switches to power on or off my whole layout.

I will reveal the lights when I get done with the second plattform. I am very confident that it will look great at night!

Thank you very much! I am glad you are enjoying the whole series. I´ve got many plans so this will keep you entertained for a little while :)

Thank you! I´ve got 5 inspectors on duty, each on it´s own Area of ​​Expertise. They are doing a great job for the most part. The only truble I have is with my geologist chicken, it often simulates landslides especially in the big station area. I´ve got a problem with that to be honest...

@@summitrailway Nature is a big factor to consider with a garden railway, I have problems with roosting pigeons, and target practice.....

Thank you, I appreciate your comment!

Between the power supply and my digital central station ther is no need for a fuse. I will incorporate some fuses in the lighting circuit!

I will be busy for the next couple of years but after that ... maybe. I appreciate you watching!

Thank you very much!

Over the years I tried many methods to do this, they all have positives and negatives. I settled with the simplest way as you have seen. Once I tried to use plastic pipes. It was blocked by stone and debry at the day I wanted to repair the lantern. So I was forced to remove the plattform pavment anyways to change the plastic pipe with the lantern at once...

Thank you!

I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed the video! The level is 2500mm long. The next several videos are beeing filmed right now so more is coming soon!

Hey! Tank´s for the question ... As long as the slots are not welded the steel is free to bend to some degree. I used very tight tolerances between the platform edge and the track so even a slight change in curve radius would be a big problem. To be save I decided to weld every single slot shut so it is one continous steel structure.

@@summitrailway I see thanks

Thank you very much! To be honest I´d like to move a little quicker but time, money and weather are my main opponents right now. But I will get there eventually that´s for sure!

Der ganze Regen ist echt ne Katastrophe für mein Projekt. Keine Bahnsteige füllen, nichts lackieren und auch kein empfindliches Werkzeug wie Schweißgerät usw sind da zu benutzen. Mehr Videos wie aktuell sind für mich zeitlich nicht machbar allerdings werde ich versuchen mehr Baufortschritt pro Video zu verwirklichen.

Thank you, now I know how it is called! Slowly but surely I am working towards a finished layout :) I am glad that you are enjoying the process!

Thank you as well! That´s what I was looking for :)

All of the above! For most of the leaves I am using a garden blower. I have a video on my channel which is showing exactely that if you are interested. It is called "Sthil BGA 60 leaf blower test for Garden Railroad maintenance". After the leave blower I am picking up the residues by hand. Last but not least I am cleaning the tracks either by hand or with the cleaning system build by "Die Gartenbahner". There will be a video soon about this cleaning wagon!

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying my video!

The first platform will stay as is for now, changing it to a real curve radius instead of two bends would mean a lot of extra work. It doesn´t look to bad in my opinion altough it could be better. Much more interesting will be the second, long platform which will be half staight and half in a curve on both sides. On that I will definitely try to make a nice even curve with the platform edge like I have done in this video!

I haven´t seen them on this project, they stayed voluntarily inside because of the weather...

He has a video with childhood pictures with a garden railroad.

Generally with this sort of thing, if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it. I know I can't. Everything he has right now is probably tens of thousands of dollars, not including labor effort.

My garden railroad hobby started around 2011. I made a video about that if you are interested... ua-cam.com/video/6Nv5H5GT_G8/v-deo.html The cost varies a lot, depending on what you want to accomplish. The good thing is you can start very small and get bigger over time. On this channel you are watching me building my third layout. At this point I know what I want and I am shooting directely for the final layout build instead of starting slow and making changes to it over years. That means you have a lot of inital cost. But for any beginner I would highly recommend to start nice and simple which brings the cost down to a few thousand euro or dollar.

That is right, thanks for pointing this out!

This might be true, but like I described above I am going over the top with this layout right from the beginning since I know exactely what I want. That means hight inital cost, slow progress due to the high amount of labor involved and lots of complex planning. If you are starting with this hobby this is absolutely the wrong approach. To get started I would estimate about 2 to 3k, after that you can grow your layout and rolling stock at your own pace.

Leider hat es mir die Fortsetzung "verregnet" und ich musste auf ein Indoor Projekt ausweichen. Aber in Kürze sollte es soweit sein das ich den Bahnsteig fertig stellen kann, dann wäre ein weiterer sehr wichtiger Bauabschnitt erledigt und das ganze schaut schon etwas mehr nach Eisenbahn aus :)

😂

I am working in the aviation industry

Vielen Dank! Genau das erhoffe ich mir von der ganzen Arbeit, ein optisch und technisch einwandfreies Gartenbahnerlebnis :)

Hi! You are right, I appreciate every comment, subscriber and also a like. But I´d rather have 4000 interested viewers that really enjoy my content than hundreds of thousands viewers. Best case would be hundreds of thousands interested viewers but you have to relize that garden railroad is a niche topic. I am grateful for every one of you guys and maybe girls, so keep up your comments!

I have been there, using paving stones, cobbles and so on is not a bad solution but it always looks a little bit strange. Several years ago I was using concrete for every plattform I build, it works great and you can build every form imaginable. It was the best solution until I had the idea for this... Very strong and precise edge that is actually straight and doesn´t move around like individual stones. This time I will fill the platform with a new technique that I have never used bevor. It will be a surprise for both of us but if it works it will look fantastic!

Thank you! I can only encurage you to try something even without the right skill set. I have very basic knowledge when it comes to welding but for this application it seems to work just fine and it is actually fun. Having the right tools is a unavoidable topic unfortunately. To fill in the platform I will use a new technique that I have never tried bevore but it should look great. If it doesn´t work it will be concrete...

Thank you!

That´s not a bad idea but im not sure if it will fit to the flair of my station. I will try it without and consider it later on...

Thank you very much! The chicken inspectors had no interest in this project what so ever since it was loud and dusty around the workside. They approved it afterwards :)

Thank you, it was a fun project that will be continued soon!

Right now you can get hold of these gears relativity easily, there have been other times. My friend had the same problem years ago and he searched months until he got the spare parts. Each loco is fully independent, they each have a decoder and speaker and can be run stand alone. I use the Massoth multi traction function to run both together.
