- My veiwers Al Bebee and Lifttube asked me how to make the "My Backyard Railroad" train. Lets start with the wheels( the most critical part to make, but simple). I used a rear 8" rim with the "flat" bead seat off of a yard tractor.
Excellent idea for train wheels. I've been looking for ideas & yours is looking good.
Thank you sharing this video.🚂🚃🚃🚃
The high dollar wheels were the only thing holding me back. Thanks a lot. See you on the rails!
You bet!
Good demonstration of how to cut something straight/ true without a lathe 👍👍
Thank you for your video , so nice to see and with home tools i can make something like this with rims that will work, i like it , great job well done thanks for sharing.
I always wondered how you cut the wheels for your train. Very cool! 👍👍🇺🇸
When you were describing a train going around a curve it reminded me of a documentary I saw demonstrating the forces on a loaded train. They put a piece of string into an s-shape to simulate the train going round bends. Then they pulled on the ends of the string which straightened it out and said that's what a track wants to do. Hope that makes sense.
I saw 'Junkyard Wars' where they took 2 tapered buckets and put an axle between them and rolled them on a curved rr and they followed the curve , put staight cans on each end and the fell off the tracks.
Gotcha play on railroad tracks.. 👍👍
Thats pretty cool , thanks for sharing it .
Very cool man!! Nice shop!! Glad your keepin busy!!!
I always liked a live axle on my old go karts,i built a few with modified Briggs 5 horse,so fun!!!
The Pioneer Tunnel tour had a little slippage huh,put JP in the front it wont slip anymore.
Thank you for this tutorial!
Bravo Guys.
Cool vid
Great job on the videos you make especially the abandoned mines you should see about taking a mine safety course at one of the votechs that way you would be familiar with how they work down there and you should get a miners hardhat and msha
Light there is a place in tower city were you could get that stuff keep up the good work
approved light
Thats not a bad idea...i know someone that could get me info on that..thsnks

Vo. Tec in frackville I think still does. It
The steel in those wheels is very soft and will deform after carrying any kind of serious load for a while. We made a full sized track cart using big truck rims for use on a real RR project and within a week the wheels were junk.
So far, they lasted 5 yrs. I tell everyone that operates it not to 'slip the wheels'.
The part you cut off could be use for part of a chimmey on a train engine smoke stack.
I still have it, good ideas!
Thank you 👍!!!! That's exactly how I will do mine!!!!!
Glad I could help!
A Gravely L with wheels like yours would make for an excellent starting point for a loco. ;-) I noticed the exploded diagram of the Gravely tractor transmission on your wall. I have the color version. And the fact that you also have a Hobart welder.
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last couple of days =)
@Rory Keanu Yup, I have been using Instaflixxer for months myself =)
Use a cutoff wheel.
You don't need flanged wheels. You can use any regular wheel with a stationary flange. All you need is a piece of flat iron about 5 inches long, with the ends bent up slightly, that brushes along against the inside of the railroad track. Leave about a quarter inch gap. Also, the flanges don't have to be in exact alignment with the wheel, they can be slightly ahead or behind, doesn't matter
do you work at that place in fountain springs??
Yep
U deserve more veiws,you teach so much about are history and Pennsylvania and only have 175 subs
You couldn’t be more correct. Amen to that!
He will, he's doing great for his first year!
Up to 700+ as of march 2021
