Railway Update February 2023 - On to the Driveway

[@rixretros]

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

[@paulsmith5398]

Ohhhh, my! "C-W-R" on a home railroad! How cool is that!!

[@n7275]

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

[@Jm4steam]

Good video. Glad to see the progress.

[@martythemartian99]

In one of those odd "Time Zone" things, I am watching this February update on the 1st of March, even though it was just posted. :)

[@SteveMirabelli]

I just read your description . I was thinking when I was watching that this all should end up at a nice shop building.

[@Redundant_Communication]

Indeed it will, I should get the track up to the overhead door by next month. Thinking I'll tie in my plans for the shop itself in the next video as well.

[@SteveMirabelli]

@@Redundant_Communication Awesome

[@paulsmith5398]

Now, heres an idea, adapt one of those snowblowers for railroad use by putting flanged wheels on it!

[@richstory278]

Your videos are awesome, im following them. It’s going to be great when its done.

[@joshmarsh8543]

fantastic video, i like your trackwork its rather similar to my track except i use 1 Inch box section because it is cheaper than T section, I've been watching your videos for a while now, Keep up the good work from a friend and fellow narrow gauger over the pond

[@westtexasworkshop2628]

We should connect our railways together 🛤️🛤️🛤️😂. But I can’t wait to see some more new videos on your locomotive you’ve got a really cool project keep up the work👍

[@Redundant_Communication]

And after that we can start a ferry over to Ireland!

@@Redundant_Communication Undersea tunnels are all the rage these days. I have a pickaxe and two wheelbarrows we could use :)

What can you say about the tracks you were lifting at the start? I know you mentioned some things in earlier videos, like the grade being too steep, but you didn't go into very much detail otherwise, that I saw. When were they laid? Was there a purpose beyond mere hobby? What kind of operation did they see?

[@Redundant_Communication]

That line was built starting circa 2014 for moving brush and debris as much of our property was overgrown. It wasn't as functional as I would like but I continued it for fun, though when first attempting a locomotive it was clear the grade was too steep and the track too weak. As the old line has rotted I've taken it up to reuse the T-posts, so I haven't fully addressed it as it's sort of a bygone, but I'm glad you have interest in the history of this project.

[@railroadguy100]

I enjoy your videos. Great backyard railroad. I was wondering if you were going to secure the tracks to the pavement

[@wildcaliforniaghosttownsan9526]

Very informative about track laying ,I'm using this method on my mine track . Have you been using 3/4 or still 1/2 inch channel ?

[@Redundant_Communication]

The channel is 1/2" wide by 1-1/2" tall, works perfectly for light duty. The panels I'm making here for the driveway are the old T-posts, but are of similar dimension.

​@@Redundant_Communication Thanks from California, we are having snow and ice every week here ,so spring is definitely going to be busy ...

[@AEKarnes]

I love your railway system. Is there a map?

[@Redundant_Communication]

I haven't made one recently that has the new line but I can draw one up
