Big Model Trains Around The Pond And Through The Garden

In my previous video, I made a very simple model train layout around my raised bed garden... and using three different trains, I somehow managed to stretch it in to a 12 minute video!
Today, the layout gets a lot more interesting as I add a second, much larger loop... taking the trains on a longer trip, through more of my garden... Including a little loop around a water feature...
A little test pond I made to try out the idea of perhaps building a bigger, permanent pond someday. It has worked out so well that I've decided to go ahead with the idea, and build a large, permanent pond in to my yard... sometime later this year.
The main focus of this video is a Piko G-scale locomotive modeled after a steam train from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. This AT&SF locomotive and tender were one of the first trains I bought when I first got in to G scale trains back in 2015.
If you enjoy this video, please click on the thumbs-up button to let RU-vid know that this is a good video that they should recommend to other people.
I'd also love to have you leave a comment about the video. I read all the comments, and enjoy the feedback. Let me know if you think I should expand this layout even more in my next model train video.

I just started watching your videos with my grandson. We both love them! I grew up riding Santa Fe, and now take Amtrak whenever possible. My grandson would watch your videos over and over if we let him. I hope to take him on rail trips in the future. Meanwhile, thank you for sharing your love of model railroading.

Going all out for a Steamies in the Garden video is entirely up to you. You're the controller here, it's your railway. You do what you want with it, you decide. Whatever you think of, I'm sure we'll all enjoy it.😀

Jim, Having had a pond for years, I promise it will be money well spent. As much as I love trains, I think I loved picking out fish, plants and such each year as well as doing the annual maintenance. Keep us posted!

My kid and I love your model train videos! We think you should TOTALLY go for the third loop! We are also wondering just how adventurous you are feeling about the pond...any chance you'd like to build a bridge for your trains over the pond when it's finished?

I think I like the idea of adding a third loop of tracks around the lawn along with the two loops that go around the flower garden and a permanent fish pond! As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim and I love your collection of 25 G scale model trains!

You, Jim Zim, are going to have a permanent fish pond this winter and planning to build a bridge to go over the fish pond to expand your G scale model train layouts in and out of the house in Pasco, Washington! You still haven't decided whether you want to have a Union Pacific steam locomotive or a Union Pacific diesel locomotive. If you were to get a Union Pacific steam locomotive, it will be the Union Pacific Big Boy; if you were to get a Union Pacific diesel locomotive, it will be the one made by Bachmann. As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim, Very Important Fun Person and I love your collection of 25 soon to be 26 G scale model trains!

That little fish pond is the precursor of a permanent fish pond that you will be doing later this year! Oh, JYI, you forgot to switch the sounds of the North Pole Express Christmas steam locomotive from Piko from the sounds of the Christmas Coca Cola steam train manufactured by LGB to the sounds of the North Pole Express Christmas steam locomotive!

Actually, after having the temporary fish pond for a while longer, we've changed our mind and decided not to put in a permanent pond. We just could not keep algae from infesting the pond. We used an algaecide and still could not stop the growth of the algae. We worried that an algae infested pond would be a danger to our dog. So, the pond experiment is over and there won't be a bigger, permanent pond.
@thomascomeau9271

@@JimZim Alright then, I understand that you don't want a big, permanent fish pond because it will be extremely dangerous for the American Cocker Spaniel dog, Carli. Bachmann has released the G scale Toby's museum passenger coaches, the regular museum coach and the museum brake coach. They will look great with Toby the brown steam Tram Engine from Thomas and Friends manufactured by Bachmann! Are you going to buy the two museum passenger coaches to add to your G scale model train collection or not?! As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim and I love your collection of 25 not soon to be 26 G scale model trains and also the American Cocker Spaniel dog, Carli!

I like your idea of taking those trains around the yard but I have an idea too maybe create some curves through the garden that’s around the lawn maybe they can run through without dealing some damage but I enjoyed this one.can’t wait to see more.

Yes, to the third loop. And how do you keep that track so pristine? I guess since it's not outside 100 percent of the time?
@JimZim
@JimZim 2 года назад
That's correct. Usually just for a few days at a time... and the climate here is very warm and dry, so it's pretty easy on the tracks.

Do you have decoders in all of your locos then? What decoder do you recommend for g-scale locos. Looking to go from dc to Dcc. Any help from anyone would be great. Thank you! Trying to not be intimidated by the process.
@JimZim
@JimZim 2 года назад
Trying to add a DCC decoder to a locomotive that didn't come from the factory with one can be a difficult, frustrating mess... the kind of aggravation that I have no interest in having anything to do with! So, I've been careful to buy locomotives that already have DCC built in from the factory, whenever possible. However, it's not always possible... so, for the others that are analog only, I simply run them on a separate set of tracks in analog mode. In many of my videos, you'll see analog locomotives running on one set of tracks and DCC locomotives running on a different set of tracks.
