In this video build log we'll take you behind the scenes of building a garden railway, and show you how we do it. There'll be mistakes along the way and things will change and develop but that's part of the fun of it!
So come and follow along with us, as we build the SLR V2!

Ballasting is so transformative. When I fixed my ballast with SBR I put those plastic veg tunnels over the top. The wire supports are easy to manipulate to go over wide or narrow sections of track and allow you to do a couple of metres at a time. Nothing worse than a rain shower washing all the SBR away before it cures.

Your plantings are really starting to come along now; Lookin' Good! I feel that the hill between the station and the quarry would be a good spot for a small forest of pines. Their height would enhance the feeling of the trains being small in the landscape, create a sense of remoteness between the station and the quarry, and be ideal as a view block, (so you don't even see who's standing on the other side).

All coming on nicely the planting looks most realistic👍😊

It’s coming together! Lovely to see!

Your blackbird might not like you but he loves your trains - singing right through that clip of the steam engine. Hope you’ll get some footage of the open day - its lovely to see stuff running after all your hard work 👍

He's often watching us work, and enjoys a bath in the pond. He seems to have got the message about my moss, and generally leaves it alone now. No footage I'm afraid of the open day, but we did get some photos which we hope to share soon.

Thanks for another brilliant update👍 It is amazing how fast the plants are spreading - it must be all the rain🤣

Why did you wait so long to make one long video. The 30min videos are good enough for my short attention span.

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

Just how the footage came together this time. We thought I'd get it all out that delay it to make two videos. We'll try keep the length down in future mind.

Always look forward to one of your updates. Like you I use Grano Dust as ballast, I sieve it to 3-4 grades, put the coarse down first and finer layers as I go, all stuck down with SBR. Very cheap ballast, local building suppliers does a 25kg bag for £5.00, I have about 150kg to put down this summer, whenever that will start!

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

Yes I might need to get more and think I will use more of the smaller grades.

@peterrobinson6872 Ай бұрын

@@SouthgateLightRailway The smaller the better, especially for a steam era NG line. I use fine sand, cement, and touch of black oxide. Then plough and brush it into place, and saturate with a fine misting of water.

37:52 with the solar panel, you could use it on a signal box so that it becomes a feature

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

Yes that's another option. I might use that idea elsewhere. I don't think I'll have a building close enough for this one. It's a pretty big size to so needs a decent building to mount it too.

@GarethL2008 Ай бұрын

cracking update guys lovely work as per. Is that siding from the mine a bit short?

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

The headshunt is a bit yes, but then it's only for small diesels with a few trucks. It's only really for show that line up to the quarry / mini top so I'm not to worried.

@MarkCalvert Ай бұрын

Great video, where are your retaining walls from?

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

Garden Railway Specialists for the cast concrete walls. Although they are replacing them with Resin (So they can ship them), which for me is a shame as I personally prefer concrete for it's natural weathering.

@caercadaandmynydd Ай бұрын

Who made the ruined building on your quarry line? Is it a Terry Vanes creation?

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

The one heading up the slope is yes. The other two (By the main line side and in the quarry base itself) are ones we got from someone else second hand.

@laurarey9036 Ай бұрын

Here in San Diego the weather has been the same as yours this year. Frustrating at times.

@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын

Certainly is. You can't plan to do anything as you don't know what it's going to do next.
