Lots of work has been happening on the railway and things are shaping up nicely for the summer we hope we are going to get! 7 1/4" Narrow Gauge Minimal Railway.
I love the idyllic mood of the "camp" curve. And I can't get over the fact that the gauge is as narrow as the short side of the tablet I'm watching this on!
Well, that was an enjoyable twenty-five minutes Ian, sat watching the video with a cuppa and a biscuit. An interesting visit to the Ivy Railway... Cheers James 🙂👍
Great video! Soo interesting with the slate bridges and all the details are beautiful too! The way you use the natural materials is a joy..... And birds song! Lovely seeing the full size steam engine! Thank you for a really enjoyable video.😊
Another very enjoyable video, Ian. I've always enjoyed water features, so combining both water and railways definitely scratches an itch! I love the slate floor by the road, very "tramway-esc"! The removal of the small mound in the yard and replacement with the lamppost, sign and flowers really makes a difference. Looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks very much! It would be nice if the water flowed every day but it only flows when it has been raining heavily for days! Still trying to crack the drainage issues. I thought the slates looked like a tramway too.
Yes that idea was mentioned earlier and I have taken that advice to a degree. It would mean major work to dig a deep channel but I have made a shallow one that feeds under the track to the deep one now.
It's a shame the property is limited to how long you can make the railway, would be amazing to have more lines going off to various places, still a lovely little line as it is though with nice scenery off to the side, I plan to build a 12" gauge line once I have my own land soon, 12" allows for some seriously powerful locomotives and rolling stock to be used.
Thank you for sharing your railway with us once again... The work you've put in has certainly improved the appearance. Incidently, have you ever thought of sinking an RSJ into the ground and attaching the bufferstip to it? It would certainly reduce the need for repairs!
Hi Ian , would it not have been better to dig the gully at the bottom of the moss face , at the moment the water as to go over the track to reach the gully so the rails are always sodden with water , just a thought Sir , David
