Hello everyone,
Today Lawrie's having a look at the Ivy Railway, built into the side of a Welsh hill - a place that most people would never think to have a garden railway - but the owner wasn't deterred by location!
If you want to follow Ian's progress with the railway and his other modelling projects, check out his channel here: / @elvinley
A video Featuring, Shot, and Edited by Lawrie

It was great to have you visit the line and stay with us. You must do it again soon and get your coat back as well! Great video!

That is the cutest small rideable train I think I've ever seen. And I've been addicted to these kind of videos for a few weeks now and have seen hundreds this is top tier

Takes garden railways to the next level. Ian has created a great little railway of Wales.

I had a feeling at some point that you would do a video on the Ivy Railway seeing that you have appeared in their videos

This is like the smaller equivalent of the Driving Creek Railway here in New Zealand. That's a 15inch gauge line running up a mountain with five switchbacks and a double-decker viaduct. It was the brainchild of one man - the late Barry Brickell - and I highly recommend visiting the railway if you come to New Zealand again.

Amazing video, and really happy to hear the owner has a KZfaq channel! I’ll check it out, love little yet useful railway’s and their kit. Way Out West is a favorite as well, amazing creative builder in Ireland who build his own railway from scratch that he actually uses for his farm and other projects. He even made an airpowered piston locomotive, unfortunately he needs a stronger compressor still. It does run! And does pull!

Great railway. What a lot of digging has been done. The clearances remind me of the top half of the Ffestiniog railway.

i lol'd when i saw the speed controller! we have wide speed and MAD speed yet when i saw MAD speed my mind automatically heard it as "We have wide speed and we have Mutually Assured Destruction speed" because that thing doesnt look like its designed to go faster then 25 anything faster would be Mutually Assured Destruction to said loco, track or area!

@DangerAngelous 10 ай бұрын

That's something I'd love, have a house that's a solid distance away from the actual road, big shed for cars right on the road so you don't have to drive up a dirt path to your house all the time, space in car shed for a train so you don't even have to be outside to transfer from car to train, and then another small shed at your house and just take the train between your car and house every day! Why are houses built around driveways and not railways?

@admiralekul8303 11 ай бұрын

So presumably now Lawrie is attempting to convince his landlord that a similar setup is required to bring parts and supplies up the driveway to the shed.

It's about 80 metres but the run is doubled with the return loop. I now have a run round at the other end and a turntable as well.
