Well I've tried to embed a Youtube video several times but it just won't have it, so here's a link:

If I may be of some assistance, Martin?

Click HERE ...

I don't think that the Forum software will allow you to "imbed"  video. However, you might want to check with Sylvia to be sure.

All the best,
Richard

BTW ... I like the video. Is that your new garden?

Yup, that's part of it!

Couple more videos for you - one at Klicky eye level, and one taken later on when I'd added a few pieces to make the background more Western. N.B. no cats or cameras were damaged during the making of this video.

HI

Great looking western train you found yourself. It looks to be in great condition and in running order. I got a big kick out of the person in the yellow shirt. Every time the train went around he was in a totally different spot as though he was tele-ported around the yard  :lol:

Thanks for sharing the video of your new pad and train

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I bought the three carriages new in boxes for $18 each on eBay. Then I added the train (also from eBay), which also has a flatbed truck which I didn't use here. The train is in near-perfect condition, apart from a missing bell (easy to find one that'll do) and the lid to the toolbox on the tender. The eagle-eyed may have spotted that some of the passengers are time and space dimensional travellers.

Many thanks to everyone here in the Trains forum, especially Walt, for info and enthusaism. I've never run an electric train before, and didn't think I'd ever be interested, but I've been enthused by all the videos, especially yours Ras, and Damo's. I'll be extending the track another 24 or so feet (with new track from Ridge Road Station), and that'll allow the train to link up various Western areas (the town, various Forts, Indian teepee village etc.)

That is how I started years ago

Once you 're hooked on the trains there's no return  ;)

Wish you loads of fun on expanding

Great videos, Martin.  The passengers all seem to be having a wonderful time.  ;D Love the train.  Was that a trident attached to the caboose?  Very cool.
