Ok time for class... Why over a trestle/bridge did I see the ties spaced farther apart and what were they made of? I think I also saw longer spacing at some other points. Thanks
It is a very light railroad. The ties are spaced that far apart to save money. It is steel bar rail, so it'll handle it fine. The ties are plastic from Accutie.
Rack and pinion would probably help, but it's not my railroad. It would be very expensive. As for the rest of the track issues: he's done a lot of work to improve the bad spots.
I watched that post coming the whole time and thought "don't hit it, don't hit it, don't hit it!" And was still startled when we hit it.
FUN video! That little engine was working hard. Excellent video, excepting the faceplant into the post.
1:27 I cant get that one meme out of my head of the guy saying "aww fuck i cant believe you done this" 😂😂😂
LOL!
Wow changeling railroad, I really like it. Very nice setting and there progress is coming along. Wayne
Would be sweet to put a locomotive CAM on both front and rear like the cab cams on model railroading locomotives or a Dash-Cab-Cam? Crazy 😜 idea.
That is some railroad, so impressive.
The Climax is going to be fun on that steep grade.
IMHO, nothing is fun on that steep grade. It's a lot of work to control a one car train.
@@MillBrookRailroad Nothing wrong with that!
I'm interested is old narrow gauge logging railroads. They did some crazy stuff on those.
Pretty nice. Good improvment with troublesome switchback switch. Wonder if there is winter operation with snow and ice on that grade...
Ouch, that was rude, a face-plant right into that post.
It didn't feel very good in the wallet, either. That was a $1400 shot. I'm used to wider clearances.
Wow, that sure is a steep grade. Shady Pines needs to install close clearance signs.
Why is the space between the ties so great on the bridge section near the split rail fence?
Heavier rail can handle a wider tie spacing.

Would a rack and pinyin system help you with the grade, and you need to have a look at the track where it doesn't like that spot?

@@MillBrookRailroadoh OK!
Hello there,when are you going to start pulling up the track that you've just brought 😂😊
Very soon. I had to get through a few conventions and meets first, so I'd have some help.
That horn would get old and on the neighbours goat after one lap.
Aaron what do you guys think the grade percentage is on the railroad? Also is am1320 have a live listen online?
I think the percentage is over 6 percent at its steepest.
The radio station streams online at www.northcountry1320.com
It looks like your property goes behind other people's property you must have a lot of acreage?
And a camera derailment 😏😁 and as always a true derailment 😏 and I assume that they are building a wye with a draw bridge
I didn't want to disappoint and not have a derailment in the video. :-)
Tony is building a wye with a leg under the drawbridge.
