- Today, we're hauling cardboard out of the shop and bringing a brand new saw into the shop. It's a day on work extra 70 on the Mill Brook Railroad.

I bought the same exact bandsaw about 4 years ago and love it. Have to adjust the alignment rollers sometimes to keep it tracking straight but works good. Great video!
I see the MOW crew had a "Cat Scan" of the tracks. Have to love the frozen roadbed. 8 weeks until spring. Stay warm and safe.
Happy runaway. Not the train, but Miaou Miaou runaway😅
And at the end with 71 making us it´s best polite "Hat off"....
Good to see the good old tradition of wheels kissing ballast thanks to frost😊😊😊

I know that East Coast hand signals for railroads.Or whatever you back up until you hit something and then that is far enough
3 - 2 - 1, that's *SLAM* good.
Wouldn't be a Mill Brook Railroad video without at least a few derailments! If any of you in the Northeast are considering building an outdoor railway, this is what you can expect during winter operations.
Entertaining as always... Is that "shack" really the workshop?
The shack is the wood pellet storage building. Unless you meant the shack with the yellow door, and that's the engine house. The shop is down cellar in the house.
@@MillBrookRailroad Aaahhh... Wasn't sure, but thanks for the clarification! Glad the workshop is in a heated space.
What you call "slow order spots" would be priority defects or urgent defects -- depending on how bad it is. And would dictate how quickly it needs to be repaired, and what speed a train can pass over if it can at all. :)
That's one of the major differences between a heavy rail system and a field railroad. The closest we can practically get is FRA excepted. Our speeds are also much slower, and our loads are far lighter. A half ton of wood pellets is about all I can stack on a single car.
@@MillBrookRailroad yes totally agree! Even with the heavy stuff, I allow some loads to roll over a priority defect at walking speed with eyes on the ground.... I was (I say was, because my qualifications are currently expired) a track inspector for a short line tourist operation in Canada. I got re-qualified rules back in the fall, and the plan is to send me back to a track inspector course again so that I can legally inspect the track in the future again. Keep on having fun! I love what you are doing... I only play with the garden scale stuff.
13:28 use a big resister for brakes something as simple as a electric stove coil will work a haas mill i worked on had one as its brake no clue of that would be overkill though
We were half joking about the brakes. The loco has regenerative brakes but no mechanical brakes. There's also no train brakes.
A resistive heater element as a brake on a Haas mill? That's interesting. I always assumed that was a band brake.
My favorite mill isn't a Haas, though. It's the 5 axis Hermle I used to run at Lovejoy Tool Company. Now that's an impressive machine. We used to hold .0002" tolerance with a diamond wheel on a slitting saw mandrel to finish the slots on indexable ball nose end mills. It was a fun job until someone opened a door on the far end of the shop. The temperature difference certain times of the year would cause just enough thermal expansion or contraction to scrap the part in the machine if we were cutting BNEM's that day.
Got a bandsaw similar to the box picture a few years ago. It also operates standing up. Really a handy tool.
Just got the ide of rigging a camera at those derailing spots and see what really causes the wheels to go hiking. Sorry, You did it later...
The derailments are mostly caused by the ties blowing out at the ends.
@@MillBrookRailroad The last video looked like vertical differences, maybe combined with a slight curve.
Driving the narrow gauge railcars there was a restricted speed due to the railbed sinking around a solid bridge foundation. They named it "3-pointing", meaning that the coupling of one car might lift the other car and one wheel could get off track,
Anyway, eliminating derailments are important to me, as You already know. Railroads should be reliable, first of all.
Thanks for You honest videos!
@Stefan_Boerjesson Oh, THOSE spots! Those are caused by ice. They are frost heaves, and they come and go. I can fix them in a winter thaw.
The longer lasting fix is to add more ballast.
@@MillBrookRailroad Yes. Changes in temperature as well as draught in summer affects the tracks. Hard to settle for good.
Do all those boxes in the gondola make it a box car?
Sure, why not? Lol
I wish you would tighteh up those frogs so the locomotives don't drop into them everytime the go over them.
I need to replace the frogs.
I watched your video with my own FRA (feline railroad administration) inspector lying on my lap watching asa well, she yawned when yours walked off the track and permitted the derailment to occur. (my inspector Miss Charlotte regularly walks the track on my 3-rail and On30 layout). I really HATE to say this, but having grown up in the PA Dutch Countrty in the 1960's and 70's your operation is beginning to look a LOT like the Penn Central brach that ran thru my Grandparents town, south of Lancaster PA...1 to 3 car trains and always with derailmants...at least YOU can see your track...the PC branch was so overgrown it usually looked like the train was rolling across a farm field...
Do you have to pay extra for the 'CAT' scans of the rails?
They're scanning for mice. That's what we hired them for. The nice thing is they work for Kibble.
...or at least the cat version of Kibble.
When you get the turntable installed, will you have a through track into "The Shop" ?
@@Conn653 I will have two tracks into the shop.
Is that a dryer sitting in your yard?
No. It's a washing machine waiting for the scrap man to finally show up.
Did the feline crew file a grievance over the loss of habitat? I thought I noticed a bit of a slowdown.
The cats are more upset about it being -10°F this morning.
It's shippers on "THE MILLBROOK RAILWAYS THE PELLETS COMPANY, PULP COMPANY, AND THE HEAVY SHIPPER MACHINE SHOP😊😊😊😊😊❤❤😂❤ ENJOY
That Track Inspector is wise, listen to the words he’s not saying.
Western hand signs
I feel attacked!
Although the “Walk like a Egyptian” was spot on.
1/2 car was kinda hinky….
😂😊
It be exciting "MILLBROOK RAILWAYS show content ".....put two small cameras pointing underneath your RAILWAYS cars bodies for viewers to watch ...(2) For MILLBROOK RAILWAYS MAINTENANCE crews to "watch " why cars derail....perhaps improvements to rolling stock😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤
Poor Eric looked frozen. At what point do you get the poor soul a hot, steaming cup of coffee? No perks on this railroad is there? I'm jokong of course, but he did look cold.
Regards, Paul in Cornwall.☕🥪
We went inside for biscuits and hot tea.
Instead of transloading from train to trolley devil, one day completing the track betwen present end to the one in the shop will be a good idea. Just a
"bit" ( a lot) of grading and it´s done. That soil can be reuse for your latter branch extension.
It´s a bad marketing of MILBRR to ask a customer (the shop) to put a track and never connect with it and asking them to transload. Since the
"Shop" must use that trolley for a short distance, why not kick out that railroad company and use trolley all the way from parking to the shop ?
And if stove heating enterprise sees that, may be they could think, why not us ?
Then MILB RR will be just a weedy grown rusting aluminium track waiting to be pulled out.
Then that poor steamer project will fall in an exposed monument of how was a once time known railroad named MILB RR... 😢😢😮😮😅😅😂😂😂
If you read that, you had time to loose...
Cheers, stay warm.
That's 45 seconds I'll never get back. (JK, 😆)
