Operations on the Loys & Woodland Creek Railroad Narrow gauge

The Loys & Woodland Creek is a private 2' road serving a small farm and soon to connect to a market in due time. This is also a facebook group about it. The owner along with the Chief Engineer, matt, and myself did a work session on the route to install 70 feet if track and prep another 40 for a future session. Track is laid right the first time and lined up straight. We had a minor derailment but before ballast trains we did some fun runs back and forth.

Looks like a Plymouth switching locomotive?

It was built by a machine shop for a christian camp originally before being replaced by a larger loco of the same maker, both in Georgia

Was that newly laid rail ?

[@mattsmocs3281]

We added 70 feet of track on to the end of track from the beginning of the video. Plus readied another 60 for construction. So in the later running clips we were on freshly done up track plus the then laid line got tuned up. Next video is the ballast dumping op

What is the engine?

It was a custom done up 2' made from a tractor by a Christian camp in Georgia, it is way overbuilt but fun to run
