Will there be a commenter
This is one of the best informational videos I've seen - on any subject. My brain is struggling, though, with the direction reversal process. I can't quite see how performing the same motion allows you to reverse direction. I'm obviously missing something.
I am about to make a miniature one of these for a short film so this was very useful thank you. Although I am disappointed you weren't wearing a bowler hat! 🇬🇧😉🇺🇲
Excellent
When u was working on one of those how did u know when a freight train was coming thru
Maybe one day you can reshoot in HD as it is interesting. Does two people m one on each side make it easier as it would appear with only one connecting rod, it would not do as much with two people as I would have thought.
When he lifted that car _BY HAND_ i just roared: "Damn he strong!!!"
Everything I always wanted to know
I was looking for a real frog lol
cud technologii.
Thank you very much. Love from India 🇮🇳
I enjoyed this video very much. I have always wondered what the purpose of the rail handcar Was- very informative- and - charming as well. Thank you- may the Handcar live forever ❤️💚😊
what sort of speeds did they get ?
Thanks, this was super helpful.
No frog was hurt in this filming
240p we meet again.
This could have been a 10 second video.
I want to make one one these for the road. Have a foot pump and a steering wheel lol
Just wanna say that this whole 8 minute video could've easily been done in less than 2 minutes. And were the shots of the horse and steam train really necessary? Like we didn't know what either were so you had to spend the time to show us what a horse is....? All this did was waste so much of my time
This is railscout’s wife. You just cannot please everyone. It’s your world, we just live in it, right? My husband was passionate about educating anyone who chose to learn about anything railroad related in particular. There was no greater person on earth. Please think about your negativity towards my husband who passed away doing what he loved- operating a locomotive.
I just wanna say I am sorry about your husband, I didn't know. My condolences. But also expect criticism when you post things on the internet
I can't see the frog
Thank you very much, I have always wanted to know how they worked. And thanks to you I no longer have doubts friend, I left you my 👍 Greetings from Argentine
I didn’t see the frog

Baby frog
Recognised power hacksaw blade in brake linkages and rebar for frame braces. Great work on the hand car. Great work on the video. Thanks.
Hey! I live right next to that in Belton Mo! Thats my home! I visit it all the time
Hi! What is maximum speed on a flat terrain? Thanks! Happy new year 2021!
I alqays thought they were using a ratchet or something but i guess that is the simplest way to do it! Sounds kinda didficult to start though.
Awesome
Joe Biden's train
My Grandfather worked on the NSWGR (New South Wales Government Railways), in Australia for 46 Years: It was his First and Only Job that he ever had (1927-1973). He spent most of his career moving around Country Towns in N.S.W., until the early 1950's, as a Fettler and then a Ganger (the Leader of a Gang of Fettlers); and then moved to Sydney. He spent the rest of his working life in the old Darling Harbour Railway Yard, and finally at Eveleigh Railway Yards. During his time in the country towns, he road a 3 Wheeled Pushcar (also know as a Railway Trike): I can remember when I was VERY Young (maybe 5 or 6 years old), he took me for a ride. I can remember it like it was yesterday. In case anyone is wondering, there were No O.H.&S. Restrictions back then like there is today, and they knew when the next Train was coming through. One thing that wasn't mentioned in that Video about removing them from the Track: It wasn't always practical to virtually Lift One End Off and Push It Away, and doing so, could Damage The Wheels. There were Wooden Platforms (probably about 1.5 x 2 metres - I can't recall exact dimensions) randomly placed along the track: Mostly where the Track was higher than Ground Level. If they were expecting a Train, they would move along to the nearest Platform, and either Lift It just Flip It Over onto the Platform.
I think walking is better
nothing wa there
There's a part of the railroad called a frog....
omg handcar havoc for mario party
you must put a knot on a wheel (bogey wheel) to show it going round... good science
You seek a great fortune!!
πολυ ωραια η αναρτηση και ευχαριστω! καποια μερα θα φτιαξω κι εγω!
i dont see any frog this guy is bull shit
Not the living creature It's a part of the railroad track
Me neither
i just watch this for to scared my sister she HATE frog
Great video!
It is a great video. This is Railscout’s wife. I took some of the footage on this video. I think he acknowledged me in the credits at the end. As difficult it is to say this, he passed away in May 2017. No sickness, no nothing. Just suddenly. He lived and breathed railroad. The hand car is a custom built replica of a Kansas City and Springfield something. Custom made somewhere in Iowa. Thank you for your comment. He would have enjoyed it and most likely have replied with something educational about the hand car or something similar.
Thanks for the visual tips...really enjoyed watching it work. I just saw a speeder today at the roundhouse show I went to...looking into buying one of those, or like it.
Thank you very informative really appreciate it. Liked it a lot.
I've always wanted one of those . Where can I find one
There are no frog
Excellent video. I wish I had one. Thanks for sharing.
Very educational & informative. TQ
Is the hand car more calorically efficient than walking?
can it work off the railroad tracks?
Congratulations from Brazil, thank you for sharing and explanation
