  • Kalamazoo's 2017 model year handcar is lightweight and is quite easy to move across switches.
    If you like this handcar, check out my latest handcar creation video: • Great Basin Velocipede

      kalamazoomfg.com. These are not cheap Walmart quality machines. Craftsman kits that require woodworking skills run $4500 and fully assembled ready to roll cars start at $10,000. Hundreds of hours of work goes into manufacturing these machines.

    • @akoww1000
      @akoww1000 4 года назад +2

      a little late but you can build them way cheaper if you have the skill to do so. We built one out of a wood frame and used bike tire rims in the '80s with no real plans just a book on them from the library about the history of them and the basics of how they worked. now ours had to be turned around to go the other way but it was pretty easy to do so. In 1990 we found a stack of metal rail wheels in the woods near a closed railroad station that looked like it was used on them. sadly a friend told his uncle who scraped metal and took them all

      I did have permission to use the tracks. This was filmed at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, Nevada where the railroad runs daily passenger excursions. I operate handcars on the same tracks and comply with all railroad and federal rules. I carry a track warrant at all times and communicate with both the dispatcher and trains by radio to ensure safe operating conditions.

      A train going through can break the switch, so railroads prefer not to go through incorrect switches. The hand car would have just derailed because it's so light
