Looks like a setting for a story about an alternate Australia that is covered by rainforest. and is the home to megafauna along with the current other types of wildlife.
This is utterly legit genius. If you owned a full miniature railway and had to cut around the tracks without damaging, you would have no problem having to deal with overpowering lawn mowers. Forget those, use these!
Now all you need is a little sweeper to help clear the crap off the tracks... Both clippings from cutting the grass and the random little sticks and other debris that gets on the track... It could go right after the second cutter, before the engine.
and youtube brings me here, and... its kunda nice.... reminds me of videos of full sized rail loram grinding maintenance train videos... honestly makes me want to find out more about this interesting train setup.
Just found your channel today, but I just want to give you an idea for a safety upgrade to the front car with the vertical blades, you could try putting a circular saw plastic cover over those blades so you don't have a blade get thrown into you if they break off like at 6:18. Those blades look to be spinning at least 1000 rpm and that could definitely hurt you. be safe out there and I hope you make a beautiful rail system in the future.
I feel like I’m in Jurassic park cleaning up the tracks but just absolutely blown away by your layout just so gorgeous❤❤❤ and only one more thing you need a caboose blower car to blow the tracks off but still amazing work.
I enjoy watching people's garden layouts and how they deal with nature. Not seen vegetation cutters before, but I think it's great, I usually only see snow blowers. Both good fun to watch
Hi! Wonderful craftmanship, I'm speechless. Just an idea came to my mind - maybe a little bit of water repelling spray on the cab's window would help a lot for rainy day videos 🤔
It's something I've considered, though there's a maintenance challenge for anything power operated in the outside environment. The line currently works on a staff system during days of high traffic.
At the moment it is 32v DC, but there are plans to change to AC to reduce electrolytic corrosion on the rails and sleepers in future. All the rollingstock can already run on either DC or AC.
Delightful innovation! Regarding the loco, what is it modeled after? It reminds me a lot of the SD-45s that I used to see a lot, here in the American Southwest. (Except for the cab arrangement, of course.)
