Dad's train set

My father's "train set". This is shot from the electric loco, although there is also a steam one (which can be seen at about 15 seconds in). Both can pull several passengers. He tells me it is 5" gauge, if you're wondering. The track (he drives over it very carefully!) was purchased from http://www.pnp-railways.co.uk

@ELECTRICOTION I don't deserve any credit for this - he built it all himself. Not bad for a 70 year old!

What an amazing layout! Does it go onto the public road? It seems to from the Video....All i know is that the street i live in it wouldnr be there for long ;) Great Stuff :)

@dilwich123 It doesn't go on the road, just across what used to be the front lawn and the driveway. It's in a cul-de-sac so there's no passing traffic to see it.

Genius. Reminds me of the local model railway park we used to visit as kids. It's still going - Wascoe Siding, Glenbrook, NSW Australia.

Thanks for triggering the memory.

EXCELLENT!, An inspiration!

I am about to start my own ride-able train set - can you tell me where you got the track from please or the specs to build one like this - thanks

[mrrhda]

I'll have to make a video like that with my train

@Ikaftl This is an awesome setup. Wonder how much money it took to build the track to that dimension, unless it was a starter set with the electric loco.

That's Awesome!! Only thing missing is the dog chasing it----OR having it plow thru mom's rosebeds :P
