Great video...👍

@Redundant_Communication >>> Great video...👍

thanks so much m8 i needed some just random background noise that wasn't water

Really good progress on your rail line. It looks like the old T-post rails ended up being useful after all.

Where did you find the square washers you demonstrate at 7:06?

Are you doing anything on the railroad currently?

Enjoying your videos.

Keep expanding, very cool stuff

Talk about building for eternity !!! Your great great grandkids will still be using that table with construction like that. It's nice to have a press to do the "bull work" instead of having to swing a large hammer like blacksmiths had to do 100+ years ago. Very interesting video.

Really nice! You are an artist/craftsman with an interesting style. You getting 3 phase from the Onan? Nat gas is reasonably priced, however the Onan diesels get even better fuel economy......IF you can find them.

Strap rail might be worth considering if you have a comical amount of free wood. You could probably fix the snakehead issue by welding a piece at the end to hook under the wooden rail.

Very cool table . What are you going to use it for ? Thanks for sharing this

They ain't going no were 👍

Enjoy seeing your videos man

You need a battery impact wrench.

My goodness !!! What a complicated structure for such a simple concept. You must have spent hours and hours calculating all the dimensions of all those pieces that went into making this switch. Kudos to you !!!

mr Sherwood sir. can you video your whole track?

What a lovely train you have made it has a real character to it I would love to have a go at making a train for the garden but the cost of the track must add up quite a bit . thanks for showing us how you built it .

Would be nice with a closeup on how You fasten the rail. Also the name and measure of the material You use as rails. Very nice videos, good work! I’m about to start my project comeing weekend.😊 Best regards/ Thomas in Sweden

Hi! Im trying to build one my self as well. What's the steel beams measurement is it a 1"x2" ?

Have you thought about putting a magnet on either end of your gauge bar? That should hold the rails steady while you put in the bolts

Good to see you got a new saw! But instead of measuring and marking use a stop block

This was a great day

🔥

Cool engine thanks for showing it

I think your railway project playlist is missing some of your newer videos. Very glad I checked your channel. Love the project!

9:00 I was worried for your fingers. I want to build one!

OH! That was way too short.

Would like to see more of this!

What is the purpose of this railway ❓️

The way all steel structures used to be erected. Hot rivets and one man to pound it the other to buck it up.

wow cool i would love to see a map of your whole little railway also what kinds of rollingstock do you have and whats you intentions for he railway like what will it be used for.

Jon, I misplaced your telephone number. There is a linotype machine and motor-generator set currently up for grabs in PA, for free. Give me a call.

You could prep the ties before placing them as you seam to have a set guage bar and with your shop being close by it would save your back in the long hual

McMaster-Carr, not a sponsor

Yes to sliding anchors. Suggest fitting easily removable mats shaped to fit at the center and sides of the track then, add a layer of new ac paving to help with the transition and sloped to control drainage too. Great work!

McMaster-Carr. If they don't have it you can forget it😅.

Very nice. Switches always fascinated me.

looks good. Why do you have this small railway anyways? are you using it for moving stuff around the property? just for fun?

Set it in block paving, not concrete, so that is always accessible.

Nice Econoline

Good job dude :) As for mounting the rail, I think having it set in concrete would make it easier to work around, especially since it is on your driveway. However, that is quite a commitment, and not something you can easily undo. My only concern would be the material that you use for the rails themselves. It is, of course, much thinner than rail used by railways and trolley lines, so I would be concerned about its longevity, especially if you don't coat it with something. The grooves might hold water (and snow, if you get it,) against the rails and rot them away faster.

Now for a double slip and three-way!

Nice update. Have been flowing your channel and it brings trains and metal working which I love both. I do have one question. When you cut the flange section on the rail for sharp bends like in the frog, do you weld up that joint? I saw the cut but it didn't look like it was welded and if not I could see that as a weak point that could lead to failure with cars in the ground.

Are you going to make a switch stand for the turnout? Have been following you for some time and enjoy all the updates.

fun track update! I wish I had the space for this.. Something I'll have to work on.

My goodness !! What a nicely equipped shop. I love that home-brewed rolling gantry crane. Very well done. Keep up the great vids.

Reclaiming those rails fron the old layout is sooooo labor intensive. My back and knees are aching in sympathy with you,

I love your railway system. Is there a map?

Nice to see an update, new work area.
