I'm a model railroader. We always have limited space and always want more room for our layouts. I've partially solved this issue by utilizing a strategy of "measure once, cut twice". This effectively doubles the size of the layout because I have to re-do most projects when I make a mistake! I see you have adopted a similar plan. If you become really skilled at this tactic, you will never run out of fun things to do on your railroad because one error will lead to another to another to another, ad infinitum. Carry on!

I'm sure someone who can invent a whole railway system can certainly come up with wheelbarrows that have hinged handles that fold in towards the center on a horizontal plain.

Cool concept, fun project........... However, I have serious reservations about the practicality.

Tim if you add another shell to your barrows the y will be more stable on the poo car. Make the handles on the barrows folding with a plan lock for both up and down positions . Love the the gr8 you do.

I love following this channel so much that I've genuinely started having dreams about travelling to Ireland to help out!

A friend who shovels poo for you is a friend indeed....

I know this was some months ago now, but it might be worth adding some gussets or diagonal bracing to the ends of the flatbed where it connects to the wagons, you're exposing those welded butt joints to quite a bit of force and the repeated load/unload cycles will lead to a fatigue failure. adding a diagonal brace will prevent some of that movement.

I suggest securing the plywood to the inverted troughs. Add a 2" X 4" X 8" block to the edge where the wheels of the wheelbarrow are to stop. This will act like a bumper. Do the same for each leg of the wheelbarrow. This will keep the wheelbarrows from sliding off. When you lift the handles, the legs will rise above the bumper as you pull the wheelbarrows off the platform.

That's the beauty of living in a country where they still allow the free movement of people, hence why you can use French person power. Over here in the UK we no longer have that luxury. Am glad this part of the railway works, you need to work out a pulley system that ties in with your static engine, which would help retrieve your muck wagon from the garlic field. You could also use it at harvest time, when moving the garlic from the garlic field. I say you need to work it out, because I have absolutely no idea how it would work. 😂🤣

What a nonsense statement about using the French.

French and other Schengen citizens come to the UK to volunteer under WWOOF, free board and food, they just can't get paid for it. Also you obviously didn't watch the video properly to think that it would be in anyway feasible the muck heap to garlic run can be powered by a cable from the stationary engine.

It's cool. However, I thinked it would be more effective to build a large sheet metal hopper car and fill it directly with shovels. With a large wheel and two bearings for quick discharge of materials.

you once talked about using concrete for the sleepers. if you are using Firewood for Heating dont throw away the Ash, you can actually make cement out of it. mix the Ash with Water and shape them into Balls like Snowballs and let them dry. once you have enough you can burn them in a Kiln ~1,5h. you can make concrete out of it by taking 1 part Woodashcement and 3 parts of Sand and some water again. BUT the mixture is a bit causting and you will have burns on your skin so wear something over your hands. video of Primitiv Technology kzread.info/dash/bejne/doRk1pSGnbKzdaQ.html cheers and take care.

If nothing else Ash can be good fill material- an inexpensive 'ballast' used for grading on old railroads was "cinder"- ash left over from burning the coal (or wood) that was used mostly for firing steam locomotives. It was cheap, plentiful, and they needed to get rid of it anyway. It won't be able to do all the magical things that proper ballast can, but it can certainly provide fill- and sometimes that's just what you need! But I get the feeling there's many good uses for Ash on a farm in Ireland, besides fill for building a railway.

You can hinge the handles of the wheelbarrows in order to hinge down when you are not grabbing the handles. Saves space and there will be no more trouble when the willow tree grows up again.

railway design is sensible. Capable of increasing productivity greatly. Only one input I can offer is to run the railway through the centre of the garlic beds after harvest. A few cars dedicated to taking the harvest on racks and you could drive them straight into a drying tunnel. Harvest directly to the cars and let em dry on it. Same size has your wood chip cars but whoth horizontal mesh trays. Honestly the suggestion only is about minimising human handling time and distance walked.

ide say you played with meccano as a child. Well done.

now just a lever and two wooden blocks to make a mighty handbrake =)

People will be quite surprised as to how much weight 1 adult can push on a level railway, once they get it moving it becomes much easier. Great video bro and guys. Safe travels

An interesting idea might be to use a ropetow between the rails attached to a stationary engine/motor to move the wagons. Avoids the complexity and cost of a locomotive.

@BattleshipOrion

Might be worth it if the line was steeper, but the loco is still gonna be needed if the thing fails...so there's that. Especially considering available materials, the cost of said materials over a given span of time, climate, dynamic loading, and keeping the line on a budget. Locomotives on this kind of scale are cheaper in most parts of the world, as they can be made using a engine as small as a single cylinder, & bike chain (plus the other components). Plus it's more worth while to have versatility over simplicity. Not only that, but if done right, and you have a powerful enough engine, PTO could be an option for helping unload bulk loads (vibration).

Why not revert to fish boxes and lay monorail between alternate beds .easy to tip the boxes to empty them either side of monorail. Lighter to handle than wheelbarrows and more carried in same trip!

Couldn't you have just cut the pallet platform and attached hinges so you could just kick up the bit that would be in the way so it stores on top of the pallet part that isn't in the way? Then once the car was past it just kick that section back down into place? Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed watching the video and I think the solution you found works just as fine. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly I’m glad you made it work, it’s pretty similar to that design I initially came up with, do you have plans for a box or container to hold the shovels? I’m sure that would be super useful.

I have only a vague idea, but I keep being annoyed by the idea of winches and pulleys and doing away completely with the wheel-barrow idea which would eliminate a lot of problems. Love those dolleys. Swing High, sweet chariot.

This looks really good, hopefully once its connected to the main system you can use your air loco to move the wagon around

Great job on the railway there Tim, wonderful job

this would look so great with tornado!

I love the sounds this things makes😁😁

I wonder if the original longitudinal barrows would have been better , just with modified unloading ramp. Eg either a drop in section ot having the ramp just under the wagon side extensions. This would also give a support effect as you wheel the barrow off too

French people power! Haha brilliant

Way Out West Workshop Stuff International !

This looks really cool, I think you should try to build a magnetic break like on a rollercoaster for the bottom of the hill. That way you could push it off at the top and it will auto slow itself down even with full load. Its just a 3rd rail made from steal and then some magnets on the cart itself. You could make a mechanism on the carts that when you push it up hill again you can lift the magnets off the 3rd rail so they don't have any resistance.

Hey, really dumb idea here, what if you were to make your own wheelbarrow that's just a frame with a smaller, wide wheel, and small rails on it, that hooks onto the rear/ front of the wagon for transport, and then have trophs that ride on rails that are on the train wagon perpendicular to the middle part, that you can slide onto the frame of the wheel barrow? So you'd have like 5 trophs/tubs that you can side load onto the wagon with one wheel barrow frame It sounds super complicated, but I think it wouldn't be a big deal for a crazy chum like you that's basically playing Factorio in his back yard. Just discovered this channel yesterday, what a treat!

Rather than controlling the speed downhill by holding it back with a rope, an upgrade could add a platform on the rear bogie where you could sit/stand and operate a handbrake. A simple rim block like your locomotive has should be fine. One axle alone may not have enough traction to stop that heavy load so it may be necessary to link the two axles of the bogie using a chain or tie rod.

Lovely. You might want to add a break with a handle bar that only releases when pushed on it or is locked in the open position to each end of the wagon to prevent it from running away accidentally.
