Would enjoy this tour immensely in the spring time (more colorful). Thanks for the ride this time and I hope the wild fires don't affect you at all (lots of "fire wood" you are going through)!
You have great deal of track work. You have put lots of thought and effort into the design and installation. Especially like your interchanges and eyes. Haven’t seen that before in your scale. You will build a viewer base because you have interesting content. There are those of us that will vicarously live out our dreams through you. Tail on oh rail baron! (Are derailments much of an issue?)
It is not my railroad but I live nearby. The owner would walk out in the woods to visualize where to put the track. He started building it almost 30 years ago. Derailments happen occasionally but usually aren’t too serious. Cars can be lifted by hand larger locomotives require specialized tools. Thanks for watching
@@steamlogger I also watch a similar rail road. His moves heating material from one location on his property to another. He frequently has derailments . So I realize how easy it is to re-align the cars. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Rail on.
Just WOW! What a national treasure. Now on my bucket list. I was able to follow on the map most of the way. When you were coming through Hidden Valley, I missed the cue to Skyview and thought you were heading to Maplewood. I caught up at Greenville. One question though: why is Green on the bottom like roadway stop lights versus on the top like railway tri-color signals? Thanks for sharing!
This is the best video I have seen. This layout is massive. Beautiful place. Is this 15.25 or 15.5 track? Do you have a track layout available? keep the videos coming.. Thanks
Thanks for the ride on your railroad. At 2:34 - was the locomotive built from scratch or was it a kit? It reminds me of the HO scale Athearn Hustler. Keep up the great work!
Your railways are in much better condition than the ones here in Scotland. Maybe you should ask the Scottish government if you can run the Scotrail network!!
REAL NICE LAY OUT OF THE TRACKS YOU HAVE A LOT OF LAND THERE TO HAVE SUCH OF A THING. . I THINK YOU RETIRED FROM THE RAILROAD ? AM I RIGHT. CAUSE IT SHOWS.
The owner was a school teacher. He visited other railroads when he started building his. Check out some of my other videos showing the White Creek railroad. Thanks for watching.
Yes I converted this loco to 24 volt electric drive. Here is a video showing Gradar 75 before conversion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZwBL_1tGfwQ.html
@@steamlogger Fantastic, thank you! Do you have any under the hood pictures after conversion? I love the idea as I use a battery zero steer mower on my yard and now drive a Polestar 2 electric car. Thank you again.
This is a great video but it would have been nice if we could hear what you were saying. A lapel mic would have helped because the engine and car noises were drowning you out.
The track by the lake there was tree roots pushing up the track. The new bridge and alignment was due to tight curves. The original curves by the lagoons was some of the first track put down in 1994. Thanks for watching.
This engine is electric. I converted it from gas. Here is a video from when it was gas. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZwBL_1tGfwQ.html I use a brushless motor running at 24 volts.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M5xggxOMARg.html here is a video or me running my oil fired Allen 10 wheeler. I have more videos on my channel of steam engines.
Yes it is not my railroad. The story is the owner retired from one of two careers and used his retirement to fund the railroad. Check out some of my other videos from the White Creek Railroad. Thanks for watching.
