My Uncle and his buddies built a live steamer operation in Byers, Colorado. I visited him while they were constructing it on flat dry land and he was pissed off all the time. Glad that you can show how railroading is a cheerful affair, my Uncle is only a bit older than y'all and currently in a nursing home because of the strokes from all of the anger.

[@NorfolkWestern475Enjoyer]

Gotta say, I've enjoyed watching every part of this railway and seeing it expand, also, if you haven't named the Railway yet, maybe name it the Garlic Western Railway / GWR, a fun spinoff of the Great Western Railway. Would be hilarious and accurate.

[@NorthernNewEnglandRailfan]

Great idea! If he gets a locomotive he should name it Duck!

I might need to convince my family that a having a railway is vital for our once-a-year shipment of firewood.

[@Miko92ster]

thank you for those videos, they help me, and probably a lot of other people to deal with those crazy times we have around us... cheers from Poland :)

[@samvalentine3206]

The only problem here is that it needs to be even longer to enjoy that roller coaster to the utmost! Looks great, Tim! You and your team have done a fabulous job! With regards to brakes, maybe you can fashion up some homemade scrub brakes using wood as the pad material? Scrub brakes as you know push some friction material up against the outside of the wheel. Good luck!

[@KerbalRocketry]

the hillyness is really showing a need for brakes! rather than fitting all your wagons, and having the challenge of how to control brakes, I wonder if you could build a brake wagon! it could also be general purpose but it's main job would to just provide a way to keep a wagon, or multiple, stationary.

[@Lillstisse661]

Or, adding a screw brake to the flatwagon and using it as both a normal wagon and brake wagon.

[@robinforrest7680]

A brake van! Brilliant idea!

[@madmanmapper]

You should probably make a blockade at the end of the track, especially since it seems to be downhill to the end. A simple wooden frame with an old tire strapped to it should suffice. Something you can easily pick up and move when you decide to add more track. Maybe add some spikes on the bottom so it digs into the dirt.

[@drift688]

Yeah I agree

[@JohnPritzlaff]

Or a bubble pit

[@shikashi18]

All I can say is that I wished that I was there to pitch in and build. It's always fun watching the results of your progress.

[@CarNoises283]

you have no idea how much I want to travel over there and help you to build out that train track (I love Trains)

[@mabamabam]

It might be easier to knock the pins into the sleepers back in your shed. Then you can do it all in one spot and maybe even at a bench. Saves walking around with a hammer and a box of pins, and saves bending over a few hundred times.

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Much more difficult to carry though

[@geoffswinbank9449]

TREMENDOUS!!!! I whole heartedly agree with so many other comments here, with regard to joy. Your videos....this project....it brings great joy. A wonderful way to start the weekend. Congratulations on the opening of the new line. Fabulous work! Well done. Greetings from Perth, Western Australia.

Neat little railway, one thing I would mention. In the scene where you are striking one hammer with another, I hope you are wearing eye protection. My neighbor was doing that and one hammer chipped and he lost an eye.

[@walterkulsen5279]

👍 Now all you need is an anchor to throw out for braking. 🤣 Honestly, you don't need a muck railroad. Instead, start charging admission, and you never have to touch another garlic bulb in your life. 🤣 P.S. When is the looping coming?

[@sebbes333]

*@ Way Out West - Workshop Stuff* The last part, maybe you can use increasingly longer & longer pegs, to make an artificial incline on the rails, that should at least help a bit to slow down the cart, without need for breaks?

[@DieCastoms]

Tim, I think you should look up Mill Brook Railroad on youtube. He has a railroad in his yard that he transports wood pellets for his furnace as well as chicken feed and waste and compost etc., but more importantly he has an incredibly simple battery powered electric locomotive which consists of only two car batteries and a very little bit of electronics and he pulls trains with it. His locomotive suffered some damage recently so his last few videos he's rebuilding it completely and you get lots of insight into it.

[@crazyfvck]

@DieCastoms I just checked that channel out. They have a lot of cool videos :)

[@mzimmerman1988]

Perhaps you could build a sieving/classifying machine? I've seen them made from barrels that are spun. If you are preparing a new field, you could sieve the dirt a bit, removing rocks (for ballast) and making the soil better for planting. Might be a lot of work though, just an idea.

[@farmerboy916]

Could also be used for woodchips or charcoal or any number of other things I think he might need, too.

[@schwuzi]

An old washing mashine sounds great for that purpose. The drum already has lots of holes in it so it's basically made for that.

[@louisl.8724]

I like your railway, I am going to make one in my back yard! Just for fun and use it for my very small garden. I think i will have one with a battery operated engine, that i can charge by solar. All i need is about 75 to 100 ft of track. Maybe a engine, flat car w/removable sides, and a water tanker.

[@wardproductions2792]

Are you actually going to do it?

[@bigbadjohn10]

I have heard of the watercress line and the strawberry line can I suggest the you railway is called the ‘garlic line’. ( It sounds better than the manure line!

[@S99Xmode]

Can you show the maps from your rail way please

[@krazykreaper504]

Hi Tim, since a locomotive is obviously overkill for your current network, would a rope tow be better? A strong rope and pully system that runs around the track in a loop that the wagons can be hooked to. You could make use of some of your existing motors/engines in a stationary location rather than a purpose built locomotive.

[@krazykreaper504]

if the wagons were hooked up at the front and the back you could also universally break them using the rope too. just an idea

[@machinist5828]

LOL! Brakes? Who needs brakes? Brakes are overrated! It's always odd how much bigger the concrete wall looks when you realize the forklift has no brakes. Good show all! No harm in enjoying the fruits of your labor. Those fruits might smell a bit like garlic 🧄! Cheers Terry from South Carolina USA

[@gwyllymsuter4551]

Well done Tim. It looks brilliant and works well. The only thing I can suggest is a platform on either side of the rails at load and unload points. A ramp up to the platform on either side to make it easy to load the wheel barrows. A nice close fit at the same height as the deck. Although you probably already planned this. Tim's railway Station names. MUCK HEAP and GARLIC BEDS. Who knows, if the platform is big enough there could be Tim and Sandra's tea room at the garlic beds

5:43 "i'm hoping to experiment with concrete sleepers" Might work to make several moulds and then pouring concrete into that, could work quite nicely. One issue would be cost, can't see it being that cheap in making them (might need allot of them). Still, that can be a fun experiment.

[@FischOderAal]

Who needs brakes? Exactly. Funny enough I earn my living with train brakes :D The way you're going you are going to invent some type of indirect brake sooner or later.

[@everestyeti]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant and achieved in a short space of time, without any mechanical machinery. You could open that section as a ride, am sure there would be lots of big kids lining up. 🤣 If network rail are watching, perhaps you could learn something from Tim's ingenuity.

How long can air lines deliver meaningful pressure? You could just run airline to stations along the way to top up your air engine. Wonderful work!

[@mattsmocs3281]

Our freight trains are 2 miles long and have 100psi running through the brake line at all times. Air can travel very far

I liked the air engine but it was just an experiment I think. The steam system or just a small gas engine from a lawn mower might be a more viable option.

Having the sleepers layed directly on the grass and mud will decrease there lifespan significantly I would think.🤔

[@assassinlexx1993]

At those soggy parts . Pull out the pipe stub and drive down a pipe as far as you can with a sledge hammer. Cut to length. This will support a heavy rail car. Keep your eye out for a old broken electric wheelchair. This would make a perfect train engine. Especially with your skills. Cheers

[@bigrenegade7121]

Not sure if this will help speed things up but you could drill the holes for the pegs BEFORE cutting them off the pipe so you are simply feeding the tube through the drill like you do with the rails themselves.

brakes are for cowards!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbYqqtjh7SId5I my only concern is the endgrain on the sleepers soon to be rotting. as you were placing them, you could already see how much the ends had soaked up the stain n where drying - maybe slop on some used motor oil? … then half-bury an old tire as an end-stop and charge the kids a crown to ride!

Will the manure go downhill? If not it could be quite hard to push it uphill with this steepness. if it goes downhill, it would be interesting to use that to pull something up perhaps with a long rope or so. So that you can use that to pull the empty wagon uphill after using.

Well! What can I say? This: 1m45s to 3m20s, that you can set up a mass-production line and calculate and churn out the components you need for assembly, and to assemble the components with a team of three in four hours (with only one DOCUMENTED tea-break) speaks highly of your original design. When (two years ago) you followed a procedure for sleepers, pins, rails etc and built the first stretch, you had a design that appears to serve you well, forever, and that is the hallmark of a good design. Which is to say, a good foundation for future production. Which is to say, a Good Mind, and a Good Thinking Process. So? Congratulations! You are an engineer. Cheers, Chris
