Anyone Can Make Their Own Railway - Low-Cost Track For Narrow Gauge Railways (Re-Upload) 

14:18 _"As I say you could [...] skip all this, but I thought you might like to see how I'm doing it"_ *Well, the entire reason to watch your channel is because we want to see you doing it!!* :) You do so much cool stuff we are either unable or too lazy to. And it's always a delight to watch you.

I watched and immediately subscribed so I can hear the next "thrilling installment" if for no other reason than to hear your voice. Your narration of anything would be interesting because of that voice. What a remarkable talent you have.

Why do I like these videos so much?!? I know nothing about trains, have very little interest in machining, and will probably never have a need for a railway. This is the friendly RU-vid environment I didn't think I would find again. I love it

I find this man's relentless good cheer and positive outlook to be a boon to a weary world. Lovely man, he has my subscription.

Golf cart motors can be used to construct an electric loco. May even be able to use battery power. May also be able to use a trolley wire. Please consider electrification in some form. That's just yet another idea for you to kick around. Great work so far! Elegant, simple, cheap, robust. Nice work!

thank you algorithm this is actually a good series

Loved returning to the start of the project!

Hi Tim, I love your creations. For your loco, have you considered an old diesel ride on lawn mower as a base. If you can find one affordabley with hydrostatic drive, would give very controlable drive in both directions as well as brakes. It would make the right noise too....... very important

Tim, you are an international treasure!

Thank you for being an inspiration to me. This helped me get ideas to build myself a model railway, a small line in a forest with 2 small diesel engines and about 9 wagons

Thanks a lot for posting this video, Tim! It's always a pleasure viewing your work and how you've gotten to where you are now. Annie sends her regards to Sandra and to you... me too!

This is wonderful. I love seeing the ingenuity. Can't wait to keep seeing more of your content. Cheers

Enjoying the simplicity of how you went about this bro. Safe travels up your way.

Subbed. Excellent ideas you have. I think it looks great too. Keep up the good work.

What a brilliant way to build a railroad. I will be following this with interest as I can see the use of something like this at my farm.

I'll be rewatching videos you made in the spring and summer over this winter, firstly because they're good, informative and I earn a lot yet also because they won't be cold, wet and miserable like it is now outside. Winter has only started today (meteological, astronomical starts Dec 21st I think) and I'm frozen and cheesed off already! Got saoked outdoors today. Urgh.

This railway is a great idea! Just one point, which really doesn't have much bearing on your design.. just writing here more or less to pass around the info. On a rail-car, the wheel profile is angled down somewhat toward the center of the two tracks and the top of the track profile is crowned. Because of this, the rail-car naturally centers between the rails. The wheel flanges are not designed to contact the side of the rail at all, except on turns. Setting things up this way allows there to be some variance in the track width and significantly reduces friction as the flanges aren't rubbing or banging back and forth between the rails. Anyway, on a small scale slow moving setup, none of this is an issue and of course there is significant complexity and expense manufacturing the parts as described above. I just thought I'd mention this in case anyone was curious. Richard Feynman actually talks about this somewhere or other.. oh, I found it :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y7h4OtFDnYE.html

So great seeing this again considering how it has grown! The little we knew back then compared to now :^)

I just found this video and your voice combined with railroad content touches a deep nostalgia from watching Thomas the tank engine. Wonderful videos, thank you. I wish my property was big enough to make this worth doing.

Love what Tim does will look forward to seeing the next installment of the railway 🚂. Love to Sandra your so lovely and kind to others.God Bless .☮️🎶🌈🌈🌈🇮🇪😊

This is a great video. As an railway club member you just invited a new way of the hobby.

When i helped install the live steam at the museum in my town, we used flat bar with 2x2s and slots in them for the bar to be slid into

Some of this footage is recycled but it’s so nice to see it all compiled. Well, some of it, including donkeys

Very Beautifull with practical video for made of a simple railway track ❤️ 👏👏👏👏

I admire your approach. I always look forward to your next video. Many thanks.

Hello from Detroit Michigan USA brother great video 👍

This could have been a 'scrapheap challenge' in the day. I like how you use materials on your property. I am in favour of re-use/recycling!

Wow, this is amazing😮😮!!!!!😮😮

I hope I have a property like your to build a railway... this channel make envy 🤣

This was indeed a thrilling installment! Kant vait for ze next one.

I love this idea!! Great build

love your videos, please keep them coming!

I love the "survivalist" / junkyard vibe of how you build. All functional. Even the simplest looking parts have crazy amount of function and thoughts on how they will work, or how you will make them work. So much of to days things remove the person, the skilled operator, add safety guards and the like. This has been a great video. The background behind the why, and how. was great. But you forgot to show how much rail your workshop has? (or did I miss some videos?) This would be the reason for the gauge / size. wow, love how the pipe has so many but simple functions. I can see how the bolt is only holding the rail upright, the pipe can slip in the sleeper hole, to allow the rail to settle onto the rail. But the extra length becomes a "Ground peg" to keep the sleeper in place. I bet in the future if you found some sleepers sliding in the mud, you could remove the bolt, hammer in some rod and replace the bolt making a longer "peg". Found the barn rails video from 4 years ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y4XUV2atyPI.html

I love this. And I think hobby/toy grade yard trains could use similar building styles, they just don't have to be so rugged. Works at all levels of yard railways

You have a heart of Gold, your Voice is perfect as Narrator, and you have gift of Creative thinking spirit.....Your family and friends work together for the common goal of Improvement of mundane and laborious tasks by automation... EHO could not Love that?

I have an idea for you... When laying track. Could you setup a rail cart to carry all the tools and bits and pieces needed for the construction of the new track?.. Could save time walking back and forth from the shop to the end of the track and back again... Even building a custom train cart could be invaluable depending on how vast you are planning on building your rail cart system Another idea is to pre build sections of track inside the shop then rolling them out to the end of the track to install. just some ideas not sure if you thought about them I love the project

Enjoyed the video 🙂

Brilliant video thank you 😊

What a nice railway, keep filming :D

Hurrah! Thank-you all!

This was my part of my plan for our farm

No freaking way, my dream of building a small railway can become a reality!! And it's way easier than id expect!!!

Enjoyed your video very much hope there more to come.

You deserve more subscribers!

The start of a saga

Yes yes, join up a railway island to MN😂. And a different gauge if I did it. Nice job👍

Very interesting channel. The railroad thing is really good endeavor.

The engineering scale you put forth is very achievable. I could stretch to round wooden poles thrown on the ground systematically.

well, really cool idea😀😀

Meet you somewhere in the Irish Sea ;) Love it!

Well done 👏

My favourite channel great stuff 👍

I can see there is a lot of work goes into machining all the parts for your railway. Still it should all work just fine.

All brilliant. I want to do something similar, I'm building a replica mineshaft and would love to have some minecarts running around.

Your awesome 👌

It might be cheap but it clearly takes alot of skill and effort

Nice

Hurry up I wanna see the railway

Great Stuff as usual. I was told years go that the flange on railway wheels are only there for public confidence , if they touched the track they'd wear out.

liked video

When I am teen I am going to build a narrow gauge railway just like you

I predict an electric drive with a small diesel generator would work best for you. 2 separate systems make design less complicated with the generator added last after the electric drive design is worked out

Absolutely Creosote or similiar, n 2 coats in between...... And with Prices of wood why not use your natural wood tree growth you have already, very smart move! Make sure you ballast is 2 to 3 inches thick under sleepers, that'll keep water sway from sleepers. Makes a huge difference in wood preservation over time.

I’m generally confused why this is re uploaded and all old videos have been removed? I may have missed something so please let me know if I’m just being stupid lol keep up the good work anyway !

Since you already have a track, you should have used the same gauge so you could use the same cars.(unless you already did). Round ties or trimmed ties would also be appropriate and less work.

You should make a donkey thread-mill-locomotive made out of corrugated steel.

What museum is that cart and rails display at?1

I found a website selling 20 miles of narrow guage 2ft railway track but its in England I know you made all the track your self because it cheaper but if it may help you when want to extended the track.

Hi. We have always wondered about your accent. Can you tell us where you come from please ? Scandinavian perhaps?

hear of "groovy track" flat bar held upright by slots in the ties.....easy

Did you arrive at 15"gauge by reading about Sir Arthur Heywood and his work on estate railways?

I would use a stationary engine and make a traction engine/ steam tractor but with train wheels instead

Where there’s a Will(iam) there’s a way!

If you could fit in a third rail to have the 5 inch gage as well, feel free to invite me to bring my 5 inch rolling stock along

Hi. how much spacing you used between sleepers? i'm doing myself a tiny narrow gauge railway for mine wagons i got. which are very heavy (500kg empty) . I planned to use 60x10mm flat bars but i don't know how many sleepers i have to put on. Thanks you for all the stuff you are sharing !

Won't the narrow load bearing surfaces on top of your rails cause wear on the wheels, especially if the cars carry heavy loads?

😃

I think you are just trying to replicate multiton railroads while for small cargo rail track you can make it with rammed earth, and a bit of geopolymer concrete on top and use only a 1cm wide metal string as rail contact or just screwed stone profile and using wooden wheels instead steel Granite tram tracks where built in britain and you can read about it, and i think its the future of road transport because is free and available everywhere and can create a revolution of pedal powered vehicles with little resources and no need for dirt road infrastructure

Can we see more of the sawmill

I remember how this was only supposed to chop logs

Re-liked and re-commented to appease the all mighty algorithm overlord.

I'm thinking 1" square tube would be better. Not likely to splay apart between sleepers.

I’ve already seen this video

also please make a train so we can have a train for it too

Can anyone else hear "MR BEAN?"

9.75k subs +1. so now I need a mini railway in the garden do i?

Rather than short pipes, why not cut slots in the ties and jam the rail into the slot? I've seen this done with 7-1/4 and 7-1/2 inch gauge live steam hobby railways.

I would at least use angle iron, or the "I" style sometimes used as fence posts

the only reason l want to watch this is im a kid and a rail fan and like trains that cost low

How much did this cost and how long was it?

where is this Farm?

Lol choc choc

BRO IS HAMMERING SCREWS IN

He sounds like 17

I like what you're doing BUT do you guys own a broom? I would never work or have employees work OR family go threw such a harzadess area.

Have you bought any new steel this last month. Go on I dare you....! Bet it wipes that smug look of your face...!
