I dream of a future in which every single person has their own personal light railway! Excelsior!

[@toyotaprius79]

Amen! Personally I believe that every cycle Greenway built on former railways lines should at least have some form of parallel rail system, narrow gauge preferably. Not just for steam preservation skills but also for the added practically of moving heavy materials efficiently and safely. But Parish Pump Politics in councils dictates that paving tarmac and jobs for the boys is more sacred than water itself

[@IIVQ]

Already > 80% funded within 2h. If this carries on, it will become the longest electric high speed double track railway in West Cork!

[@catonthekbd]

>100% funded - Will Tim end up designing the world's smallest "Pullman" carridge ? 😀

[@JonesNate]

After about 6 hours, it's *beyond* fully funded.

Sometimes the internet can be a phenomenal thing! Tim started out with a very humble goal for his railway, at the time of posting he is basically at 200% of that, I wish Tim and Sandra well and am grateful to all the donors to this project!

[@StubProductions]

That air engine is a work of art! See railroads make money! Stick with it and don’t veer off the rails on other random ventures. 😄👍

[@MrEkg98]

I am William. Pushed it over for ya Tim. Now lets see more of your railway. You make good wholesome content that's not dirty. Keep it coming with more railway content. Would love to see more of your locomotive and a improved design.

[@rubenskiii]

Would be cool, in the city i used to live they made a bridge that was funded fully by the people of the neighborhood, everyone would pay for a part and on that part the name would be written. Very cool sight to see but would be a lot of extra work for Tim!

[@wmose3694]

Compressed-air loco was an interesting experiment, but please build an electric loco as well

using the workings of an old electric forklift would be ideal.

[@Mister_Underhill]

​@@JackReacheroundElectric golf cart would be even easier, I think. ☺️

[@JackReacheround]

@@Mister_Underhill True, but the forklift would be a twofer, both electrics AND weight.

@@JackReacheround Quite a lot of weight in those golf cart batteries, but still a fair point. 👍

As a civil engineering student in the USA who hopes to work as a railway engineer, this railway is a true inspiration. Sad it’s probably the biggest rail construction on the whole island

[@DereksIdeaGarage]

Awww… It's such a cozy and cute railway and its actually in use, which is even better! I have long been dreaming to make some like this by myself but I live in a flat so I can only start a model suspention monorail project by now. As much as I wish to support this project, I cannot because that is already draining my lil' treasury. Please take my best hope the best for your railway, your farm, and your gofundme page. Will definitely drop by and lend a hand when I am travelling to Ireland!

2:48 I daresay for moving people between places you'd want to go with proper narrow gauge track and rolling stock though. Stock from old working railways could be found relatively cheaply for that cause. Though you'd still have the pain in the bum of getting planning permission for a line.

[@Deadbrokemine]

Nothing wrong with the track, suspension for the cars though, that’s important, both for comfort and safety.

Dear inventor Tim. Hope this will be a success. Unfortunately I cannot afford to donate money because I'm an early retired German living in Germany. Therefore money is extremely scarce. I will nevertheless donate at least a little bit because I just got some Euros back from a company who wasn't able to deliver all of the groceries I ordered. Therefore please open up a PayPal account because I don't want you too lose money by having to pay gofundme fees. And of course please don't forget to show us viewers the PayPal address. Thanks for consideration. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

I'm a long time loyal subscriber (you could've researched this by simply clicking on the grey button with the white C in it!). But you preferred to prejudice and try to throw dirt. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom. Post Scriptum: There are more comments about wanting to use PayPal rather than anything else. Therefore I guess that you think that all of them try to scam Tim. I say that you are a conspiracy theorist.

the interesting part is not whether you get a railway, but what public resources will emerge in the process. So will you put out the CAD files that gets madeduring this project in an open source format?

You live in a massive property but can't afford this? Really? Why not use a solar electric golf cart? That's what we use on our farm. It makes no sense to build a railroad that only allows you to move across tracks. A solar golf cart goes anywhere, requires no infrastructure, charges from the sun, and can lift a ton.

[@Hebdomad7]

Ireland is often cloudy, wet and muddy. A golf kart is likely to get bogged. A solar one will struggle to get the power in winter. Also just because they own land. Doesn't mean they've got spare cash on hand for a project like this. A battery electric powdered narrow gauge railway is a more viable business proposition. But another thing to remember, this is the work of an eccentric tinkerer. Expect some artistic eccentricity.

[@thaliahelene]

Golf carts won’t haul multiple wheelbarrow loads of dung at once, nor are they efficient at moving massive loads of wood into drying sheds or over to the charcoal works. Even though Tim and friends do ride the railroad on occasion, its point is to move large repetitive freight loads across the property, not for personal transportation.

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Yes, we are very lucky to have our 12 acres, but we have a large mortgage to go with it!

[@SystemsPlanet]

A four wheel drive golft cart wont get bogged. My golf cart will haul multiple wheelbarrows. At worst, you could attach a large dump cart behind the golfcart.
