New Junction: Building an 'O' gauge Garden Railway Part Three 

I couldn’t be more hyped up for this video!

Colonel Failure! THE MISTER FAILURE HIMSELF? I think he is hilarious mate, love his channel.

Tequila stole the show. That look she gave you was a “chase pigeons?, yeah I can’t be bothered fella, you do it”. Looking forward to the next one already. Keep up the good work

This is the kind of quiet hobby channel that I'm grateful for in 2020. I'm not even particularly interested in model trains, I'm just comforted that things like this exist

I’m verify frustrated that I can only give one “like”. Well done, very inspiring

That first 15 seconds with Tim is hilarious 😂. Brilliant video as ever richard, really enjoy watching your progress on the garden railway. In terms of a diesel for your layout, a sentinel, class 45, class 52 or class 20 would be nice to see. Keep up the good work and stay safe as always James

LOVE your videos!!! Really helps to inspire others also. I'm 65+ and a few years ago I pulled mine up from the weeds after 22 years and elevated it and went battery power. That was the best two things I ever did in this hobby! I use it so much more and it easy as I'm not crawling around in the dirt fighting weeds. Like you said, waist high is perfect!! Many thanks!!

One of my favourite diesels is the Class 25, a useful starter, general purpose unit for now and the future.

Trial and error is always a good thing, and you’ll get there in the end. The fact that you’ve actually got on and done it is the best thing. Looking forward to see the first train running round because I know just how good that feels 👍

BR Blue 37 would look stunning here.

Enjoying the build Richard..it`s starting to come together now.We understand the plan now as you can see it in the flesh....well.. what else can i say apart from it`s very big..it`s going to take a lot of filling up with track and locs.. so what ever happens just have fun doing it..................Allan

Found this by chance, love seeing people who are so into their hobbies And I'll be sticking about for some more Lulu!

Epic effort! Really impressed by your dedication and perseverance too!

What a great video. Awesome progress and it has really given me the bug to put one in my garden. Very exciting stuff to watch and I loved every minute of it. All the best, Clint

Lulu is lovely. Funniest on the timelapse where she is repositioning the ball. That dog thinks the world of you! I am 'voting' for the Class 37, with a nuclear flask in tow. Normally they double up the locos but I think that the nuclear flask gives you good reason to have a short train and not have to shell out for a rake of wagons! Maybe the nuclear flask could contain goodies for Lulu, to be dispensed en-route. Get her trained to retrieve a train delivered ball.

Really enjoying watching your progress, very impressive. Looking forward to the next update.

Looks fabulous Richard.

Where it all went wrong!, not really, timber works under tension and compression, The outer is correct for the inner the relief cuts should have been on the outside forcing them together, also try soaking the timber overnight it's more flexible wet than dry and will form easier and dry to the shape. The more I watch this the more I want to get involved with O gauge, Just really don't have time.

Notching in wood or plywood is called scarffing. I think if you had reversed the sides of the scarffing so it’s on the same radius as the outer curve it would have a better chance of cooping with the curve. Love the way your Lulu watches your painting.

Love your whimsical approach. Really a joy to watch. Even the montages haha

It’s coming along quite nicely.

Can not believe how high up the loop is. Another fantastic video. Look forward to watching your progress.

Excellent progress.

Coming on really well it's good to see how it is done looking forward to the next one 🚃🚄👍

Enjoyed that, thanks. Really nice of your older brother to come and help too. :D Lulu clearly has a thing for Cuprinol. As well as a diesel, I think you need a radio-controlled live steam to push the hedge-trimming, vacuuming and tracking cleaning trains around.

Great video, your channel got me back into model railways again, after a 10 year hiatus. For a diesel surely it has to be a tractor thrashing round the garden. Keep the videos coming 👍👍

Great progress

The higher track leaves plenty of opportunity for adding hills, mountains and bridges. This is so much fun to watch the progress...well done...and thank you for sharing.

The garden railway is coming along nicely, it looks absolutely amazing mate, no harm in asking for some help, cant wait for the next update video, keep up the amazing work mate

Great looking garden and then you improve it with a garden railway brilliant

Great work. It's coming together nicely

Love seeing the progress! Cheers from Pennsylvania, US.🍻

I really think you should build a class 37 in 2 tone green with half yellow ends. Now that from start to finish on time lapse will be the best 3 hours viewing with a cuppa and custard creams. Advert free of course.

Lighthearted, useful and informative. Thank you.

Great video Richard keep them coming 👍👍👍

Looking awesome! Keep up the hard work. Thanks for sharing. Ken

Great stuff again Richard! Loved the shots where Lulu kept trying to tempt you with the orangey-red ball 😂 Tequila is a lovely old girl too🐈 I agree about waist height: my old garden railway was, as is now the layout I just built to run around our patio which packs away into the shed, which I finally got running last week! 🍻 Really can’t wait for the next instalment 😎 Good luck mate 🍀

Looking great and I just recently moved into a house with a backyard, hoping to start an outdoor layout too. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yep! Tequila steals the show . . . !!!! Even more than the impressive carpentry skills! Really looking forward to seeing how you deal with track laying and electrics. Very fond of Class 37 Diesels with Freight Transport Association logo - just a suggestion. Many thanks for sharing yet again. Stay safe.

great layout looking good.

Just noticed, you only have 26.4k COME ON LETS GET U TO 1 MILLION THIS IS A GREAT CHANNLE

Great progress so far. Around the station area, will more track be built past the edge of the porch. Could add more for a longer trip for trains to travel around the yard.

Fantastic video Richard! Can’t wait to see the trains running!

Great video as always, great four legged and fluffy anti pigeon device. Where you're getting a lot of plant growth over the track would adding a small tunnel help and the foliage could grow over the top.

Brilliant and extremely amusing!

I really love the garden railway I get to see your cute pets the the amazing railway keep the good work it looks amazing 👍

Great stuff 😆 loved it

Outstanding stuff Richard.

Amazing work can’t wait for the finished result

"work smart, nod hard" - magnificent :)))

great to see you back great progress and looking good tets hope the birdes are not too quick for you lovely cat bless her looking forward to the future progress cheers, for now, all the best al 🙋‍♂️😁👍👍👍👍

Well done on your garden layout so far

All Ground Force episodes should have been about garden railways! I'd use the power tools to trim the bushes.....lol. Great stuff. Good to see it it coming on. Sorry I missed your live chat Stay safe and have a great Christmas mate

Looking really nice, and i agree if you have a mate who knows timber or woodworking sometimes its better to ask an expert than struggle with a build. I suggest a Class 37 in Dutch Engineers livery.... with grampus wagons....

looking good

Looks good

I love those post mounts, it sucks to pound a 4x4 into solid ground.

I recently started an o gauge model railway in June. I started of with a hall steam engine I got by my nearest shop that sells it I also got the 12 yards of track set and I am currently working on extending it. It really is a hard job!

Great video Richard it is looking great

Cool video 👍👍🙋🏻‍♂️

Enjoying the videos. I'd like to see a Class 44 on a mixed goods or a 45/6 on passenger. Roll on the next vid.

nice start

Hi Richard Great video very entertaining 🤣🤣 Showed me how to construct my outdoor part for my oo layout Keep up the great work . 😄😄

I don't quite know what all there is for British model train stuff, but if there is any, you should definitely get a HST class 43 set. That is if you are looking into doing passenger at all much. Loving this so far though, keep up the good work and don't stress too much.

Love the humor in your videos. I think a Heljan class 60 would be a good idea!

Well done! Definitely good advice to build a garden railway waist high. Easier to keep clean and work on or run trains. As you get older your back and joints will thank you!

That intro tickled me 😂, great video.

Yet an other fun filled video. Great progress being mad looking forward to the next instalment. class 37 / 47 would be nice to see. stay safe.

It's looking good

Excellent work. Eagerly anticipating the next video as it may spur me on to actually make progress outside tack on planks on bricks in my garden. Re first diesel, I'd suggest Dapol's 66 in Evening Star guise....should be out by the time you're done

Before you put the O gauge track down, for a bit of fun you could try and put OO gauge track for a small play

Thanks for the laughs and another great video :)

Excellent stuff, but remember water can be your friend. :) Soak wood overnight, leave slightly bent with formers for another day, soak again and fix. :)

Hi Richard. A few tips for next time! Use strips of ply, not planks! Soak them in water before curving (they will dry!). If you must use planks, go to the merchants and hand select pieces with no knots! Paint the posts before fitting. The bottom 4" is untreated as it's inside the met post, and that's the most vulnerable bit because rain will run down the post. Also, you could have saved time with a fence treatment sprayer.

Yay! More New junction videos!!

'Who cares about that, throw the ball!' -Lulu

Hi I think either a dmu or a class 52 western. I’m so envious of your large garden but really enjoy your videos you are an inspiration to us in all.

Looking great richard. Cant wait to see the next installment. Alot of requests for 37/40s but I would go for something different along the lines of a 31! 🚂

That's why you soak the wood in water before forming bends...wet wood warps, but it also bend easier and might not need notches.

Love your videos man! I like the music from Top Ground Gear Force! Lol.

I'm amazed how high the track will be at the back of your garden. It didn't look like much of a drop looking at the garden. It does look great, looking forward to seeing how your wirer the track and seeing the first loop running train. I did wonder why your are not using radio control equipment to drive the trains. I would love to see a class 33 with the mark 1 intercity coaches. I have always like the class 33, I have just bought my first in OO gauge. Thanks again for a great video.

Nice progress, I hope that timber stands the test of time. As for a diesel, well the Heljan 37's look nice but personally, I'd like to see an 08 shunting some wagons around. Cheers

Evening Richard. It’s coming on a real treat 👍🏻 All your efforts are showing on this episode and the extra help has made a huge difference 🤣 Diesel locomotive on its first run I think depending on what region you live in maybe? Well done cheers Stevie 😎

Great job, and shout out from Fort Wayne, IN. USA. Thank for sharing part 3. Would be neat to see an American locomotive for your diesel- like a GE or an EMD (GP or SD).

You can make a steamer for your wood, it will make it bend and mold to almost any shape.

You may find it easier and less messy if you paint the wood, especially the plywood with a roller prior to cutting it up. You’ll only have the edges to paint and cut edges of the timber.

Woohoo, new Junction is back again with another garden railway video. The bug has definitely bit!

😂 loved Tims cameo. Looking good mate 👌🏼

A Class 37 would be fantastic as you first Diesel maybe the Heljan 37/4 from Hattons? and it would be great PR Hattons Well done Richard Stay Safe Bill from Western Australia

Yea boiiiiii!!!! Another great video Richard, keep it up. With all the constuction work you've put in surely an a class 37 in Engineers Dutch livery should take the first lap to clear up the nails etc.

I have a small model railway with the cross country voyager and northern rail class 153 and soon I am getting the new Bachmann class 150 in northern by arriva

Fantastic video I enjoyed watching I like your cat very much definitely a good idea having a station cat

Exciting!!

Looks great id love to see a class 50 haul the first desiel service

Your dog is soooo cute

The garden railway is coming on really well. I suggest getting a dapol class 08 for your first diesel service.

your going to have some fun cutting back all the hedge work every week !!! Its bad enough in my loft with my N gauge layout !!

Another fantastic video Richard, I'd say it has to be a class 37 !!

Brilliant video as always and even the Mrs enjoyed it and laughed a couple of times. I think a class 33 diesel would be nice.

Hi mate. I read a post by one of your subscribers about treating the end of your wooden posts before putting them into the ground spikes. If you can’t remove and treat the parts you’ve already done/laid, may I suggest going round the edges and any other exposed areas with outdoor silicone as that should help stop water ingress. Sorry if I’ve sticking my nose in. Haha. I rarely comment but I watch all your videos and I’m really enjoying this build series regarding your garden railway. Good luck with it and all the best.
