In this video build log we’ll take you behind the scenes of building a garden railway, and show you how we do it. There’ll be mistakes along the way and things will change and develop but that’s part of the fun of it!
So come and follow along with us, as we build the SLR V2!

Nicely done – its surprising what one can achieve, necessity being the mother of invention 👍💜😊
Not seen it done all that often, no prototypes in the UK as far as I recall.
A self switching/cancelling switch/crossing/point would have been so much easier, but less fun😉😀✌️👍💜😊 (Ill get me coat😀).
"Dont start the sentence with 'so' " A man after my own.
Could we see some winter (indoor) work on buildings, stock etc🤔👍✌️💜🤞
The gauntlet point is so cool!
Winter projects could be some buildings.
Looking great… Keep up the great work!!
This is looking awesome!!! The gauntlet track idea is interesting. I love watching each episode. This is Tom.
There is a small section of gauntlet track in Croydon on the tram system leading from Church Street into Reeves Corner where it diverges onto the Wimbledon branch or around the Croydon Town loop
I'm looking at this at 05:30 I'm sure later on in the day and re-looking a few times it will all make perfect sense I hope, either way it's blooming brilliant well done.
Very nice garden railway
All inspirational stuff, I really should do more work on my line but once you get running there is even more distractions
Hi so I have been looking to build a garden railway but struggling to find definites on sizes. What scale is it you are using and what size would you say is the minimum for a full circle turn around you would do?
Excellent I appreciate the amount of hard work you have put into this, thanks for sharing
I only just found your channel but I'm already really excited to follow your progress!
Buildings n structures looks brilliant the whole layout.
Looks good.All the best.
I recently just found your channel and started going through your back log videos. Really enjoyed them! Keep it up. I'm looking forwards to following the progress you make.
