I love how the railroad is actually used for fright
Where do you find friends that will help you do stuff rather than criticize the work you accomplish by yourself, you are truly blessed.
People who criticize don't usually show up on a work day. They'd rather stay home and tell you how it should've been done long after the job was finished.
You find friends who help by being friendly and helping others.
Very exciting to see "MILLBROOK RAILWAY TRANSLOADS, "** FACILITIES..SHIPPING CARS...
thank you!
Thanks for watching!
you could really use this train system in a homestead! for moving feed, lumber, tools, compost, soil, bricks, cement, etc.
That's what we do with it here.
@17:27 Yellow pine is naturally treated with it's own pitch or sap if you will and will last a couple decades if kept from partial submersion in water total submersion will keep it for 3 decades or more, oxygen and sunlight will promote rapid decay but the pitch hinders the air from getting to the wood fiber.
Thanks for that information.
Those terra cota pipes should survived winter frost as long as warer can expand. If they break, once reduced to tiny bites, perfect as ballast. Thanks to your new volunteer.
They'll make nice forms for concrete posts to keep driveway traffic off the track.
Welcome to the Mil Brook Derailroad 😱😂😂😂
Been watching a while now,, that engine deserves a coat of paint! One home improvement leads to another. Thanks for sharing!
I'm still waiting for the laser cut cab. I'm not being charged for it, so I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to get it on the loco.
Crazy camera angles...as in crazy good! Beautiful Spring day....I see the trees budding. Always work to be done with a side of fun.
They will help nicely with drainage
Wow, hauling something different. Very cool. An Extra running today with a special load. OMG that shot starting at 3:49 is fantastic. If only that engine was complete it would be so much better. That is a great time of day, sun in the sky and camera location. Gives a perspective of the average person looking over at a train passing.
I'm still waiting on the cab to be laser cut. I'm not being charged for it, so it will get done between paying jobs.
@@MillBrookRailroad Ah ok. well for that price, it is worth the wait for sure.
Nice day to move your drain pipes. Glad to see you got help unloading them. Beautiful day you had to make your run. Was at EBT this past Saturday to ride on brand new enclosed coach no. 17. The 16 Engine rode beautifully! Thanks for sharing videos! ❤ your EBT flat car
Thanks! The EBT flat needs a little work done to it, then some fresh paint. It will eventually lose the EBT reporting marks after a full paint job. It'll emerge from the paint shop wearing MLBK 105.
A new type of load :)
Different is always good... and then it de-rails (grrr)
I see the automatic derailers are still working well bro. In years gone by wooden things were soaked in diesel to help them last longer but not sure if the modern diesel would be any good being not oil based. The pipes will come in hand I would say so thanks to that bloke for bringing them to you. Safe travels
I have a fair amount of untreated ties around the railroad that are starting to get long in the tooth after more than a decade on the ground.
When do plan on starting on the new section?
You should make a kind of shed for your fright cars so they aren't exposed to the elements
We put the wooden ones in the shed when we're not using them.
I tried looking up your friend under "Rhythms of the Railroad" and he is not there at all . I would like to check it out. Please advise..............................love your show......subscribed
I think he's taken his channel down.
Well it wouldn’t be the MBR if there wasn’t a derailment or two and did you get the weather & sky update for railroads online to run or was you kicked off
I don't actually have a computer to run railroads online. I'm filming and editing videos and doing graphic design on my phone.
One of my goals is to get a fairly powerful Linux laptop by the end of the year.
I wish the real ones were that easy to re-rail... :D
The heavier they get, the more expensive the derailment.
Pressure treatment only reliably treats sap wood and not heart or core wood. Not all wood can be successfully pressure treated. What chemicals are used and the strength of the chemicals plays a part in giving longevity to the wood. It should be seen seen as delaying the degradation and not preserving the wood indefinitely... Some moulds exist quite happily in the sugars present in pressure treated wood, they are unharmful to the wood but look unsightly
You're not wrong, but the idea of pressure treatment isn't so much to make plastic wood that never rots. It is to prolong the life of the stuff we make from it. I expect these ties to last longer than the 5-10 years I get out of untreated wood, but by no means do I expect them to be permanent. They will get mouldy. They will rot. They are not impervious to weather.
If I want permanent ties, I'll have to use another material. Granite comes to mind.
great job getting the tara cotta clay pipes to the storage yard. those are really neat! are they weather
resistant? are they for on the new run that you are making? have a great day!
They've been sitting outside, unsold for 70 years.
You might considerer changing the name of the channel to Mill Brook DerailRoad, 😀😃😄 👍
It has been called Mill Broke, so you're not off the mark.
Since you said it with a question inflection...vitrified clay pipe.
Thanks!
I am wondering if angle iron could be used for track?
Angle iron can be used. It is easier, however, to use flat bar and slot the ties. Look up groovy track. There's a good book about track on Discoverlivesteam.com by Laurence Johnson that covers groovy track.
I like those rail skates, where did you get them from?
Do you think it would hold your pellet train on the hill?
I got the skates from Jerry Braun on Discoverlivesteam.com. They hold the pellet train.
I can see the loco is battery, but is it radio controled ??
Yes, it is radio controlled.
First .. Love ur videos ..
What do you figure it costs per 100' of road bed and trackage? I am wondering because I have all the makings to build a Hiesler loco.
That's a simple question with a complex answer.
If you plan to use 2x4's, you can get 16 out of an 8 foot board by ripping them down the middle. Thats $5.98 for 16 ties.
Rounded up, that's 38 cents a tie.
You'll need 30 per 10 foot section, $11.30 on ties.
West coast Rail can be had for roughly $1.10 per linear foot. There are two linear feet of rail in a foot of track.
20 feet of rail will be $22 plus shipping.
Tie plates are important. They're 15 cents each, and you'll need two per tie. That's 60 tie plates on a ten foot section of track. $9 not including shipping.
Rail joint bars are $3.50 each. You'll need four per 10 foot section, two on each rail. $14.
Ballast is usually close to $500 per load. 3/4" ledge stone works best. 22 tons will do a 3 inch by 48 inch layer under the track for about 400 feet of track.
Geofabric will help you keep your ballast from sinking into the ground. $154 will get you a 13.5 foot wide by 100 foot long roll that you can cut into thirds. You only need 48 inches wide, but driveway grade isn't always available in that size.
Screws to hold the rails on the ties. You have options here. I use #8 x 3/4" hex washer head sheet metal roofing screws. They're $38.60 per 1000 at BoltDepot.com. You can use any screw that has a head big enough to hold the rail down.
To hold the joints together, you'll want M5 x 16mm Machine screws and nylon lock nuts to match.
Grading is site-specific and will be different for every foot of every railroad. Make sure you have a well-defined, crowned roadbed (to shed water) with drainage ditches on either side and plenty of places for water to cross the roadbed. You don't want water to pool up behind a fill when a culvert gets clogged and then take out your roadbed. Bridges are better than pipes. On everything below the ties, the three things to remember are drainage, drainage, drainage.
if i may, what gauge is that and what rail are you using?
It is 7-1/2" gauge track with 7-1/4" gauge equipment.
The rail is mostly 5/8" aluminum 1" scale rail. Pretty light stuff. The only exception is the 200 feet of track where i rarely derail, and that is .835" aluminum. Still not heavy rail, but heavier than the small stuff. What most people use is 1" tall aluminum rail. Something that was out of my budget at the time.
Why do you need all those clay pipes?
Filled with cement, they'll make good posts along the driveway.
@@MillBrookRailroad ok that makes sense
