Great Job! if you plan on laying a lot of "groovy" track, consider building a jig using angle iron to support the rails on a table top and build the track panel upside down by hitting the ties on with a small mallet. That way you can minimize bending over.
Someone asked where the rails came from. Looks ro my like classic "groovey tail" or flat hr metal strap. For 7 1/2 gauge probably 1/2 x 2". Ties are cut with a dado blade on a table saw etc to the gauge of the track. Strap os peessed down into ties with the track snapper shown.
Mark Reardon The one who asked was probably me. I really appreciate your efforts to show us. I'd like to see more on how you bent and drilled the rail. I know the connectors (fish plates they call them in Britain) can be a little tricky or else you get uneven rail connections. Please keep up the videos. I for one love 'em.
I love how you started on your raikroad wish you could post more videos of it. As I guess yiu would call me a young engineer I want to know a few things about this. First I would like to know how you started was this always a dream from your chikdhood or something that recently came to mind. Another one is could something like this be accomplished cheaply such as the track built and a locomotive made on a welded frame a wood body and an electric motor? Will forever be a subscriber good luck with your railroad can't wait to see more
Did you ever have to go back and tighten the track connectors? And, the ballast.. When I envision doing mine, I pull up sod, giving me 2" depth.. 1 to 1.5" of coarse gravel, like yours, topped with pea gravel, leveled, then track,and a backfill of coarse then pea gravel between the ties. I tried to envision the best way to prevent vibrations and minimize the need to level every summer as the ground shifts.. What has me postponing this is the near constant need to level the tracks.. How often do you have to bring in bassast of fix dips in the track that cause derailments?
I've thought about building a backyard railway but have one question, is it expensive? The crossties don't look too high dollar but the track does! I may b fooled though..
It depends on your budget and size of line you want to build. Track can be reasonably cheap but a good loco can be worth up to $$$$$. A good place to look in Britain is Maxitrak but I don't know about America. You can of course build everything yourself if you have the experience.
Hi, nice start. How many times per section is recommended? How long are each section? I'm trying to figure out if I can afford to build a railway at my home. I know I can build it with a welder but these ties look much faster to set up. Thanks for your time, Bob Ordewald

Your backyard railway runs so smooth, I like it.

I wish i had a backyard like this, so awesome

I know its been 2 years but can you restore that steam engine, and show it in a video it be cool to see it running

great video!
whats the measurements of the track
3:46 lmao model train track next to backyard railroad track

What’s the radius of your turn? Great video!
where did u buy your ties n track
I am interested, is there any use in moving stuff?
Great video, could you advise what tool or template you used to make the groves in the sleepers or where you purchased them from? Many thanks.
How many people or load 7.5" gauge locomotive carrying?
2.1/4" diameter of piston.

Where did you get the presses for the ties? thank you sir
How long does it take to build a steam train and carriages and how much is it.?
Trail run successful
How did you make your train
Were did you get all the material ?
where are the ties from
id like to know aswell
Where can I get the railroad ties? Can you send me a link to where I can order them? Thank you!!
Can someone please answer me this?
Where do you buy tracks?
Mark Garcia Enterprise plastics acute rail systems
I have a switch track for sale
Amazing!!!
My little one is fascinated with trains, did you finish the track?
MMaribel Diaz
Awesome !
where did you by the rails from
the rails you can get at any metal supply store, as for the plastic ties, im searxhing for them
Cool
+ddrusa i found info on the ties/sleepers buying searching groovy tracks. but no idea where to buy em.
Ah I seen some on ebay but there to much I guess that is there price on the tracks
I like it
Give us some updates!
Train
make more vids
