I’ve Been Working On The Railway.. Making Kick-Switches To Complete The Sidings
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2022
- If you have a railway then you need sidings too - for parking wagons and things when they're not being used. Mine happen to be in a polytunnel which doubles up as a drying shed when the wood chip wagons get parked in there. Getting the wagons onto the sidings, and then back on to the mainline later, means points - and points mean prizes, of course! My points are single-blade points - or, as I've learned to call them, kick-switches....

Argh!
Next week is almost a whole week away!
Love your work Tim, thanks for bringing us along on the journey.
Nah, its only 7 days.
@@alexj3709 Oh, that's a releif! Imagine having to wait the entirety of a whole week!!!
It would be really nice to have a mower wagon so you can clear the track of plants easily.
I was thinking o some kind of herbicide.
@@gardenman3 pretty sure he doesn't want poison on the property but if it ever runs on steam he can use the steam itself to kill the plants like with a flame weeder.
It wouldn't be a field railway without the plants. If it gets too overgrown there are plenty of animals around to graze it.
Fantastic! Looking forward to bridge building.
That result of your garlic harvest looks equally as satisfying as seeing more work on the railway.
(AKA, very satisfying)
Quite the "cliff hanger" ending! So glad you didn't go so far as to tie poor Sandra to the tracks, to be rescued just in the nick of time... LOL.
This is all wholesome and genius. I wish people with beautiful farms and knowledge would open their farms and homes to people who desire to learn homestead skills. Imagine the self sufficient revolution we would start seeing.
You "Stay Tuned" bit at the end was just lovely.
It continues to be hard for me to believe that the huge amount of time, money and ingenuity invested in this project will really pay itself off in charcoal. Perhaps I will be surprised.
It is a lot of fun to watch, and I'm constantly impressed with the ingenuity on display.
Tea is very important in engineering. It's grease for the mind!
Thank you for my weekly dose of true genius.
You never cease to amaze me with you resourcefulness and ingenuity. How you can turn nothing into something useful. Well done!!
A busy man is a happy man are you happy? Lovely progress.
I absolutely love this project. I wish I had the space to do something like this
Me too...
me 3
Me 4
Me 5. Oh, wait. I have two acres. OK, I wish I had the time.
I would help anyone with this
7:19
I think adding some flatbar steel horizontally on the top of tie where the point slides across may be a good idea. There looks to be some stress on that tie specifically.
Chisel down into the wood so the steel is resting where it had been before on the tie.
That way as well, over time, the point should always rest at the same height.
So you've mastered the art of Y switch!
Now ready for mass production.
Can't wait to see an Old West style timber truss bridge over that chasm :)
You're still on Track, Tim. Sorry about the bad pun. The railroad is growing and looking good. You have it down to a fine art. Great stuff.
that sheep interlude was the highlight for me xD
in other terms, for a sturdy bridge you could use fence posts and bolt the rails to them, or you could build a truss, like early railway bridges, depending on how much weight you want them to carry, and whether you want to be able to walk on them, for example
I suspect that you prefer painting the house and pulling Garlic... but we don't 😂🤣😂 Great episode again Tim.
Didn't expect that cliffhanger. Hopefully you'll bridge it in the next episode.
Excellent. Now looking forward to see how you build a switch mechanism for your kick-swithch so your cars don't derail.
If I had the property I would totally build my own rail on the property, this is inspiring to me
Oh, the suspense!! Bravo, sir! You're becoming quite the old hand at this!
After thinking about how to build the points for my 7.25” gauge railway, I have decided to do 1 bladed points.. Your videos on the points has helped me alot, keep up the great work!
I like how this is a *working* railway for your actual usage. You need to go here or there and you just do it.
As for your bridge, that will be trickier. Trestle or similar will be easy enough, but remember to include a walking path for you to move cars, and support it as your own weight will be off centre, so it may need the piles / supports be as wide as the track plus walkway.
Always glasses with the grinder you crazy gringo !! Great projects. Keep on keepin' on...
What a marvellous piece of home brew engineering.
Great work. And I like the miniature version of "measured shovel packing" getting the stone under the sleepers. That's a tougher job on a 4' 8.5" standard gauge railway I can tell you!
Oh how I wish it was that easy
Cool garden rail. I like that you actually use it for work and hauling too. I always wanted one of my own.
New Improved railway, now with added garlic! Looks delicious, hope that crop earned you a couple of bob.
It's just awesome! We are waiting for the locomotive to ride on the rails!
Missed you. Can't wait for the bridge build.
the biggest justification to spend your money & time on a railway is how many goods will be transported via rails.
(I think that's the real reason Tim showed off his garlic)
Simply superb sir! As a trackbuilder myself I now have a mild crush on single bladed points
Ha! Once you've tried them you wont go back : - )
Casey Jones steamin' and a rollin'.... Lay those tracks Casey.. 😁👍
Gosh your videos are perfect for sunday viewing! - Makes up for the lack of Scrapheap Challange, which used to air at 7pm on sunday evenings, channel 4 in the UK
OK, then. Your efforts support my dream of a yard coaster system. I understand rough and ready technology. We spent two careers as farmers. However, please consider wearing an appropriate set of safety glasses when the situation suggests such a measure. Thank you.
left on a cliff hanger, hope Tim makes it out of this one
Oh yeah!!! bridge building!!! this is getting exciting!!!
Your home looks lovely! Great bit of track laying. One in the eye for Dr Beaching!
Different country.
Seven thousand garlic bulbs, a kiln, and a wood chipping machine to me suggests smoked garlic! You would of course need a bespoke smoking kiln, and a track leading from the garlic drying shed to the smokery. But just think of the value added per bulb ...
0:32 - all that garlic - my kind of recipe! 😁
It's such a joy seeing this evolve and come together, thank you for sharing!
Congratualations on a successful harvest on your garlic.
House looks good
LOVE your railroad stuff.... Always impressive and interesting
Might I suggest a small "A" framed bridge for the 'chasm'? Easy to build, good looking and functional without using too much stuff for building the thing.
Absolutely love this project, keep it up 👍
Have you got a plan for the rest of the railway? I think you showed us a drawn plan before but I imagine it has changed as you go?
That's a great drill press!! The whole project is great!!
Glad you're still around. Have to admit I was kinda startin to wonder :P
omg bridge construction?!?! I'm so excited 😁
For weed spray, mix 1 gallon of white vinegar with 2 cups of epsom salt and 1 tablespoon of dish soap (Dawn, etc.) put in a spray can, pump up the pressure and spray the weeds.
Thanks, I'm going to do some experiments soon..
Your just a Genius Tim wonderful what you can do we were wondering we hadn’t heard from you for a few days .Love to you and Sandra and all your furry friends.love Ireland 🇮🇪.
Can't wait for the next episode in the railway build, no doubt like every thing else it's going to be an engineering masterclass.
Definitely good for gathering and delivering fresh produce.
That's going to take some Farnell thinking building a bridge over that little cousim
You are a professional railroader now! Lookin great!
I can't wait to see what you do to bridge the gap.
love the simplicity. Might be time to start making your own steel reinforced concrete sleepers. Reduce or eliminate the need for ballast.
Cool I look forward to the bridge building mext week.
This is the best thing on TH-cam
Well done Tim. We understand that you have to work to earn too.
thnx 4 sharing the numbers.
i like your horizontal drill press and bending spanners.. good engineering
Take a look at Neville Wheeldon’s Lancaster videos, there’s a good self clamping horizontal drill press on there too.
Ooooh! Aaaaaah! The excitement! I can hardly wait!
Nice bit of track work bro and looking forward to see what you come up with on the raised parts. Safe travels
to make a turn table you need to dig a tiny hole then put a wood or metal circle how you want then add a handle so you can turn things around
Can’t wait for the next episode.
We're glad that you are back Tim, but your Garlic harvest is your 'bread and butter' we understand, and being a 'lover' of garlic I even understand MORE! Thanks Tim.
I always get so excited when i see a new from you!
I'm surprised you didn't bring out the beast to haul that heavy wagon, in any case looking good sir. Can't wait to see the next one.
Hi Tim, good work, hope you can bridge the gap, I know you will have it already planned haha.
Many thanks for all your videos.
nice to see you back, I was worried something had happened to you
great video, railway is really coming together, can't wait until next video
My guy gonna have the entire. North western railway in his backyard. Lol
Your making wonderful progress
Can’t wait for the next episode!!
Smashing to see how much smoother these additions are becoming ... almost looks easy 😁
Why is this stuff so addictive?
I am not unusually attracted to rail transport, but find this absolutely fascinating!
Thank You!
More Garlic than you can shake a stick at too (and I Do have a fascination with that particular plant)!
Wow!... It's really looking good!
I really enjoy your vedios carnt wait to see the gap bridged
Love how all this has developed from the simple need to move things just as the early tramways did
Wow, a bridge now? You're just doing all the railway things!
Good to see some quality-of-life improvements. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Garlic looks lovely. Yum!
If ever I produce an audiobook or anything that needs narration, I will pay whatever it takes to hire you. Just phenomenal voice and diction. Expressive and fun to listen to.
A living wood trestle bridge would be a thing of beauty.
Eminently lovely!
Thank-you!
🚧🚧 Outstanding Sir, Truly OUTSTANDING 👍😇👌🍻🚧🚧
Really looking forward to the building of the bridge - what's it going to be??? Stone Arch, Wooden Truss, Steel Cantilever, Wire Suspension, Pylon Suspension, Roman Viaduct - or a Tim Special? ;-)
Great video - keep them coming - stay safe
always enjoy your videos love the railroad
Thats a great Idea! And it looks like it's working very well!
Good show on the Garlic!
I love your train videos. This is an amazing project.
Thank you very much!
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 I very much look forward to seeing the joy on your face I'm the next engine video. Hopefully you can source a high psi compressor, or get the steam to work. Just amazing stuff. :)
You two are inspiring!
good job
Absolutely brilliant love watching this
Good job with the ballast (The rocks under the ties)
It appears that you’re using a form of river rocks. That’s bad because, they will slip as the railway ages. This can cause all kinds of problems. In the US we use very jagged rocks so they will bond together creating an unmoveable roadbed.
We love your railway. Keep these videos coming 🤗
I like that everyone thinks I have a choice of stones : - )
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 that’s a good point.
Love your show and if your ever in souther California come play trains with us. We think your loco is spectacular. Looking forward to see more videos.
Tea and biscuits. Vital!
Excellent! Thanks so much for letting us join in on your adventures!
May I suggest a wagon to mount a compressor on. It can be used to top up Tornado anywhere on the railway and can also be used to power tools.
Great improvement on more expansion Of your field railway I hope you find a scuba diver tank style air compressor to fill up the tank on your Compressed air locomotive Tornado
Very excited to see how you tackle the bridge, mr kingdom brunel would be green with envy i'm sure! After that your next project may have to be a mower cart to help keep the tracks visible 🤣
