Live steam Mallard in the garden

[KjandRhi]

what happens if it rains?

[atreewithnolife]

looks good ,could see the steam easily.

[edj66]

More powerful than the electric one I take it?

[yuri5677]

i am guessing that you have two separate tracks for the live steam

[velovenom2007]

@yuri5677

Yes, 1 for "00" and 1 for 16mm( 32mm gauge)

[simstorial]

what's up with the missing bridge/track at 0:55?

[velovenom2007]

Bridges are removable for access, can only have one in position at any time.

[simstorial]

@velovenom2007 ok

[BlackJackMite]

is that live steam

[velovenom2007]

Yes.

[krisspacker1995]

how do u rotect the track during like winter and the frost and that doesnt it like damage your track when it rains??? im thinking of making a layout outside but im just wundering how to protect it help!!!!

[4472100]

wow,can't see the steam though

[TrailBlazer65]

wow

[TrailBlazer65]

nice set of LNER coaches , how long is the track?

[velovenom2007]

approx 60mtrs.

[bellajohn]

Nice video.

[JimTLonW6]

Very impressive, the loco seems to have plenty of power despite '10 on'. How many circuits can it do on one filling?

[velovenom2007]

Have never counted! With careful use of the controls she can run around 25-30mins.on one filling.

[JimTLonW6]

That's really impressive, I thought it might have been around 5 minutes or so!

[MrRyman100]

who long did it take to make this layout and how much did these cost

[velovenom2007]

Don't know, never logged it.

[UKPatriotsFan]

I bet you need to clean that track often due to rust and bird droppings!Any problem with cats chasing the trains?

[velovenom2007]

Peco nickel silver track does not rust, just tarnishes. No trouble with either birds or cats and track cleaned only before a run.

[sbtrain2124]

Hey i was wondering where you got your OO track. The one the Mallard is running on. I am thinking of doing something similiar and need wetherproof track for my layout

[derinr]

Hi, i have a OO Garden Railway and want to run Live Steam, i understand about the power and only 1 loco on 1 track, but have you had any running problems, thanks Richard

[velovenom2007]

No.

[armstrongener]

wow all the coaches' total price must be bigger than the live steam mallard lol

[velovenom2007]

Sure is:) So is The Flying Scotsman in other vids.

[krudmuphinstudioz]

Awesome! Is that the Hornby Live Steam Mallard?

[weemancarlos]

mmmm not much common sense here lol

[fonefan123]

Are Your Tracks Waterproof

[velovenom2007]

Do you mean do they shrink when wet?

[MadMaz57]

Superb, a fantastic sight - so realistic!

[Shipdocks]

LOL Why are people saying about the surface and trackwork, are the rails all smooth and flat in reallife? No.

[xjabi]

it's not a very smooth surface

[azzaleabk1]

what happens when it rains ?

[redsox344464217]

is that ho

[06Robby]

what happens when it rains ?

[xjabi]

don't turn it on is the answer :L

[ElectricTrains2001]

Its fast.

[ElectricTrains2001]

Awesome! An OO train outside!

[418tj418]

do you need a bigger more powerful control unit for larger track or not

[tahthing]

you need wires linking to the track far from the start and end of the track and also extra power leads to supply the power needed to those parts

[418tj418]

thanks alot, where can i get the track from cheapily?

[418tj418]

what track do you use and were do you get it from because ordinary track rust very easily even if it gets just the slightest bit cold and damp???????? because i am haveing a serious think about building a 'oo' track outside because i have one in my shed and would like to expand. any advice. by the way i cant go bigger than 'oo' because eveything else is too expensive and i'm only 14 and ive only got a paper round to keep me going. please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[velovenom2007]

Peco nickel silver track, no rust, just needs to be kept clean for electrical contact.

[zant22]

can i buy your garden (with the train)

please please please please please

[gazza451]

does it still work outside after it rains or w.e?

[velovenom2007]

yes

[bwarrrrk]

does it sound like a real steam train??

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Wow. I see he's got a full-size train.

[tardedZnerfZgun]

is the mallard gd i was planning of getting it

[velovenom2007]

Yes, but Scotsman runs better :)

[thegregster101]

does it take a lot of looking after??

[rich81090]

very nice :)

is that an lgb layout along side it?

[velovenom2007]

no, 16mm NG

[Akirab96]

I wonder what will happen when it's raining...

[scott5175]

you put a cover over the track

[velovenom2007]

It gets wet!

[HowardFair]

Thanks for posting this!

[AlxE92]

this is awsome what happens wen it rains do u have a speacial shelter

[kit88]

that is amazing, the track is amazing how long did all of that take you to build?

[velovenom2007]

About 3 months with help from my lad and son in law.

[kit88]

my frined has the silver link mallard and we are hoping to build one as well... but we dont have enoughmeney for all the track and more trains!

[PeterSamStuart]

I think Mallard got a pretty good stretch, don't you?

[sheep21]

when the camera was near the track it sounded like an intercity hurtling past, very nice and a brilliant layout!

[BrickstarRunner]

when it said mallard, i thought it ment a duck

[DKane95]

i didn't know that you could use oo gauge outside?

[SillyBillyFR]

You could run Z gauge outside if you wanted!

[jwsymons4]

i wander what would happen if a twig fell on the oo scale track as a train was about to enter the part...

[metadyneman]

Sod the scenery.. that's what I call a mainline run.. Reminds me of the speed you can get out of a tri-ang Princess when 12volts are applied!

[Jonny4472]

i wouldnt mix scales but hey good track

[jwsymons4]

i think there mixed because most gardens cant hold two railways!

[WickedMuis]

Very nice! Now you actually got to build scenery, like a station, railyard, etc :D

[RailSimer]

do u get any chuffin from those?

[IDOANYVIDS]

i envy you

[mattprice266]

After seeing some of those pics i really want to get live steam to add to my collection

grate pics by the way thanks

[cograilfan]

hell yea!

i have a 00 scale from lutz hielscher

not as good

but reliable

nice!!

[laawwrriiee]

Really nice to see the models having a bit of room to stretch their legs

[priorpru]

i read about some one in a railway magazine and he built a bridge over a 6ft pond for his railway.BIG MISTAKE!!!after a couple of years termites ate the inside supports and when he ran a BNSF train over it,splash!!he's never found it since.[its to deep to get it out]

[TrainMad07]

some of them tracks look biggger than others

[velovenom2007]

Yup, also run 16mm live steam on 32mm gauge.See other vids for those.

[Traceymermaid]

wow this is whats its all about......................

[velovenom2007]

Thanks Tracy:)
