5" gauge private Miniature Railway

Running my Maxitrak Planet loco at a private railway (not mine) in Gippsland, as various VR models also operate. I later parked the Planet and took the controls of a 4-car Swingdoor (Dogbox) suburban set.
The signalling wasn't able to function correctly as we had a train in each block much of the time, so that's why I'm running red lights here. There were 4 trains on the track, although I think we only ever had 3 running at once. Quite disconcerting to do several laps and not sight the other trains.

You have the nicest backyard ever! Have you ever entered a garden show or something?

@ericeric1010 Unfortunately my own backyard isn't as nice as this. It don't even have a miniature railway - yet. :)

where did you find the rails?

[emdB67]

@333jirachi The rails are 10 x 10mm steel bar welded to flat cross pieces (as far as I can recall - it's not my railway).

@emdB67

thanks. Only one more question: has the rail a T section?

[emdB67]

@333jirachi Square section. Not really obvious in this size. Check my more recent videos of another railway built the same way. As much as I'd prefer correct profile rail myself, this still looks very good.
