ray , i have great respect for your railroad , one of if not the best that's a huge amount of rock to haul . all your scenes look amazingly real the big kahuna maui mike
raydunakin...Thanks for the reply. Can't wait to see all the additional features since these videos. My friend '' maui '' mike had told me all about your page and to check out your videos. Keep up the awesome work, we'll keep tuned my friend. '' pipes '' .
raydunakin .. Beautiful garden railroad. Great job on the on-board filming and very clear. Love the natural sounds of your rolling stock making it's way along the winding tracks. This has to be one of my favourite layouts! Keep them videos coming. Regards..... '' Pipes '' @ GPWdotCOM .
Thanks! I need to shoot some new videos of the layout pretty soon. Most of these were taken a year or more ago and I've added a lot of new stuff since then.
The loco is a Bachmann "Anniversary Edition" 4-6-0, with a custom drive from Barry's Big Trains. The sound system is a Phoenix PB9. I'm using plain old track power provided by a power pack/controller. (I don't recall the brand offhand.) Eventually I want to get the Aristocraft TE Revolution so I can follow the train around the layout, and run multiple trains.
rhbeadle, most of the time when the camera was pointed opposite of the direction seen in the video, all you would see is our house, fence, etc. But there were a few good spots, I'll see about clipping them out and posting them separately.
Jerry, yes I hauled and placed all the rock by hand. Spent a lot of time breaking boulders with a sledgehammer too. Most of the rocks came from a large rockslide. The biggest one I broke up was 5 or 6 feet long and at least 3 feet wide.
Ray, as always, Magnificent!!!!!! It's tooooooo real to be a model train. Can you give us a movie of it running with the camera set up just showing it running from the front of the layout, with it showing a full frame of the whole layout too???? Again I want you to adopt me or come live with me for awhile. Did you haul in all the rock by hand and hand place it???? The Regal
Superb! I love model train RIDES! I noticed, you always had the camera pointed toward the rock walls. I'd like to see it again with the camera pointed the other directions.
Thanks! I dug out the hillside, hauled in all of the rocks, and put them all together with mortar and concrete. I think I used at least 20 tons of rock, plus several tons of concrete blocks and other materials.
Great ride along! Amazing tunnels. Having seen your other videos, I gotta ask........Did you pile those rocks there to make the layout, or did you build the layout around the rocks? Talk about working with what you got.....wow
Way cool!!

Ray OUTSTANDING railroad. I would love to see a trackside follow along, like a railfan. Again, just a wonderful railroad. Russ

Great job Ray! I was hoping you would do a ride along video. It really shows off your unique layout.
