Update on Adam Pinales' backyard railroad

Would love to explore Southern Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and Nevada. So much railroad history and current operations to explore. The border is closed, sadly, and it looks like it is going to stay closed for the rest of this year. I'd try and take you up on that offer next year, though!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. Thanks fer sticking with us. Dang we have a good time though. The pandemic has crimped or style. But then Adam goes through this.... we didn’t talk about it as we don’t do politics or negativity on the channel. But Adam is a Trump guy. Great. But when he got Covid his friends seemed to think he was a traitor or something. All he did was go to work. Anyway now he’s outspoken about how trump and the government has screwed everything up. And most of his friends are not even speaking to him. So we play with trains. Cause they don’t abandon you cause you get sick. Anyway we are getting a lot done on the house and layout and show. And staying safe. Mostly. Two days ago we went for a train ride. Cause dang....

[@acox3527]

That's a lot of work... and will be sweet when it's done... then back to the basement layout. My neighbor has a 6 1/4 inch layout that covers most of the five acre lot. He makes his own concrete ties with tie plates cast in them so all he does is weld the steel track to the plates. As I remember he is using 3/8 × 3/4 steel flat bar for track rail.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Wow!!! I knew some guys using iron strap about 1/8 inch standing up and notched into wooden ties. Ultimately approved to be a disaster! Really was hard on the train wheels

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

@@ToyManTelevision he is running a steam driven locomotives so he is not pulling power from the track, I don't know if that matters. Now that I thought about it he could be using 3/16 or 1/4 flat bar. I know it's not 1/8 inch thick bar. He has a jig set up so he can make up to a 10 foot section of track at a time. The next time I'm over there I'll have to take a closer look. He has enough tie molds to use one bag of quick-crete and third of a bag of sand with added cement

[@allanegleston4931]

What does he use for rail? Is it specially designed for model train track or is it he just improvising with other types of bars? Much appreciated

He’s been buying that from a supplier. Most of it is aluminum but some of it is steel. He really prefers the steel. The stuff on top of the Trussell is steel as well as the rails crossing through the driveway. I think everything else is the aluminum. The aluminum is a lot cheaper. But it’s regular rail shaped just like an actual train rail just smaller

Where there’s a will there’s a way. There’s lots of free screwing around to be had. Karen spends hours carving little trains out of sticks

What about Adam getting someone local to 3D print the plastic ties instead of paying the shipping and cost for them ??

[@ToyManTelevision]

There’s so massive that I don’t think that would work out. Will probably take three days just to print one. Had a dollar apiece they’re not expensive but it’s another dollar to ship them. But white van has been doing with the worlds largest backyard railroad is he simply packs up a trailer and heads out to Missouri picks up 4 or 5000 of them. Enough to last him for years and it just requires one trip out there with a trailer. Sure it’s like $4000 to buy the tires but that’s for 4000 tires so who cares?

@@ToyManTelevision Kewl it was just a thought to help out.

Tim Gay hi. Yes and I’ll bet that’s how they prototyped it. Great way to make a few to test. I just found out the rocket engines in the Space X rockets are 3D printed!!!

I can't even find the time or the energy to start work on my O scale layout, this guy has THREE different scales of rail road to work on, not to mention his actual job on a rail road. Talk about a lot irons in the fire lol.
