I still have the Original Popular Mechanics magazine from the 1960s. This little train is called the "BACKYARD AND BIRDBATH RR". AND ALSO...another story in that issue was about the smaller Live Steamers in California with the late Mr. Seymour Johnson and his GOLETA VALLEY RR with the large 4-8-4 Northern number 4751 then modeled after the Union Pacific 825 series with rectangular tender with 2x6 wheeled trucks.!! Ok.wd.dec.19.2023A.D. ses.gbw.
A homemade, slightly larger, version of a "Mighty Casey Ride 'em Railroad" from the late 1960s/early 1970s. This guy would probably be good at building something to scale in the live steam hobby. A lot of the equipment in the hobby in recent years is battery/electric using 24 volts and similar propulsion systems. Being able to scrounge up and adapt suitable parts is not required, but certainly a big help.
At first I thought this might be one from Popular Mechanics. That one had a metal "oil barrel" for the engine compartment, but what was really unique (if it worked at all) were the two custom solenoid pistons that powered it. I remember reading something like "2300 ft of wire" each. It ran on batteries, of course. Awesome project!
hey I remember seeing this from a Popular Mechanics magazine I think from the 1970s or so? maybe you should get a DCC thing so sounds can be synchronized when the engine goes
@@inevitableanarchy4203 I used 2 - 12v car batteries from Walmart and connected to get 24v. the speed controller came with the motor if you google MMT-4Q you should get the description, I hope that helps.
@@GoodHeartProjects Deep cycle batteries are better for this kind of use, car batteries do not last. Please Google to see the difference. That is an excellent project for the kids, well done and thanks for sharing.

Please make a video showing is how to build one of these tracks,wheels,switch,and how you built it please thank you
DAMM, that is cooler than any backyard setup I've SEEN
The kids working the switches is Cool

Awesome project!
True definition of a shortline railroad! Glad to see you are getting a lot of media coverage here in Regina. Good job!
Cool project this would be a narrow gauge train, but how many day took?
Lots of days I didn't keep track (no pun intended)
these kids are living their best lives with that in their backyard

I bet you have a hard time getting your grandkids out of it for dinner, great job 👍👍

Yes cab design is similar but enlarged, sounds are there but not in this video I guess, thanks for your interest!
@@GoodHeartProjects np I should still have the magazine somewhere
This so sweet.
WOW
This is really wholesome
really cool...I hope, my son doesn't watch that video, otherwise I have to build that too :-D

I’ve never been so jealous of something a child would get
Where did you source the track?
A local machine shop bent the square tubing.
What are tracks made of? Didn't see much about the.
1 1/4 square tubing.
@@GoodHeartProjects thank you. Love the project! Really awesome
WHAT SIZE OF DRUM DID YOU USE?
14 inch irrigation pipe.
I wanna see this now and if I had a big enough back garden I would do that but I don't sadly
What brand of motor did you use???
don't know the brand, came through ebay 24volt variable speed.
@@GoodHeartProjects Thank you anyway for the reply:)
I also wanted to ask, what type of battery and wiring/control panel did you use??

The plans call for a small oil drum if I remember. 1965 popular mechanics
