Might want to consider angle iron for rails with flange type wheels. The tubes and roller idea could work for a straight run but it will be crucial to have a perfect gauge the entire length and very very gradual turns or it would pinch/derail. Perhaps rollers that are wider than the rail to allow some play but still risk derailing on corners with the round rail. Plus flat flat stock/angle iron rail would allow you to easily make a very simple “frog” type switch

Crazy neighbor episodes Are probably my favorite 😁

I could see several different rails, and then in between where they all connect, having a train platform like in European train stations. Drive your train onto the platform, then it rotates to line you up with the rail you need to be on, and PRESTO a simple track change!! That’s gonna look so cool when it’s done. And this is EXACTLY why I subscribe to this channel…because there’s always something fun going on regardless of whether it’s camping or not.

Came for the stealth camps, stayed for everything else. I'm really excited to see where this project goes.

If you're going to stick with the tubular rails and wheels you'll need a steering system of some kind. Like a circular bearing between the axial and car. The front and rear wheel can rotate around their center or else it won't be able to make it around the corners. I imagine a cylindrical thrust bearing with the axis of rotation centered on axial at the midpoint between the wheel. This would be plenty strong enough to support the weight of the car and cargo while allowing the cart to make it around the turns no problem. With this setup the car will be very sensitive to changes in gauge so you'll definitely want to make sure the distance between the rails doesn't wander much or car will experience a lot of friction or may not run at all. It could also be really loud in that case. Also, I'm not sure but think the ballast is import not only for drainage to protect the wood, but also to help hold the ties in place and keep weeds and plants from growing through the rails and moving the ties around. If the ties move around too much over the years it could damage the rails. I think this is a great idea and you should be able to pull it off. I'm excited to see where this goes.

@amosbackstrom5366

2 жыл бұрын

Very good advice. If your tracks have any decent turns you'll need to figure out how to accomplish this without causing the wheels to slip. Trains do not have a differential, the wheels on each side share an axle. The way their wheels work is really genius, they're not flat at the bottom but slanted inwards, with the smaller diameter toward the outside. This solves two problems, it makes the train self-centering on the straightaways and it causes the train to shift to one side on the turns, this increases the wheel diameter on the outside and decreases it on the inside of the turn. I'm not saying you have to change your rails, I think you can solve these problems by using the wheels you talked about (they're also self centering) and ideally using free floating wheels, but honestly you could probably just deal with the wheels slipping a little. Good luck this is actually a really cool idea

You will definitely want a tie supporting any joints in the metal rail. Directly beneath each place where the metal joins.

Steve, you never have to apologize for doing a different kind of video. I really appreciate the spirit of this. You need to be home for work on the house so camping isn’t an option this week. Do you sit around doing nothing? Of course not. You build a railway (using recycled materials, which makes it even better, in my opinion) connecting the house to all of your different campsites on the acreage. This is awesome, and I’m looking forward to seeing how far the project goes.

I think you're going to want to place a couple inches of crushed stone underneath certain parts of the tracks. It'll create a more even surface for the tracks, create landings for the sharper declines, cover the ground which has vegetation/would require a lot of maintenance each spring/summer, it would drain better after the winter so the wood will be stronger for longer, and also for safety it would be a more supportive surface for heavier loads. All the best, Steve!! I love the way you think!! Looking forward, again, to next Thursday -- cheers my guy

Make yourself a “spacing stick” out of whatever you have around to keep the “rail to rail distance” consistent. Easier than using a tape measure and a whole lot more accurate. You’re lucky you can create whatever “guage” you desire. Maybe 30” wide.

Alternatively the Red-Green in me says to build a locomotive that has springs on the ends of the axels that keep the wheels pressed into the rails. The wheels would be concave rubber and would move in and out as the rail line narrows and widens. That way if there is an obstacle the rails and wheels could move closer together and then spread apart again. ;-)

Nothing like running a train through the woods! 😄

Research the way train wheel geometry works, the wheels have a single slope to them and are wider towards the inside of the track. This acts as a differential when the train goes around bends since the wheels are on a common shaft and cannot vary speed from the inside of the track to the outside. You will either need to mimic this with your wheels, or you will need each wheel to be on it's own axle. If you use the wheels you are planning on common axle the inside wheel will either skid or come off the track when going around bends.

I agree. There's not much way for round stock casters to gain traction. I've built machines that have round stock tracks that casters ride on, but there's a high powered electric motor driving the whole assembly and not the wheels themselves. And these things are big heavy storage units that sit on level concrete industrial shop floors. I doubt powered casters would be able to get any traction of galvanized tube stock, especially on an upward grade.

Oh, what fun! The place we lived for years was out in the woods, and one of the farms we passed on our way in and out had a small rideable train with several cars. They had a train barn with "Mail Pouch" painted on the side, where the train went in one end and came out the other. It was also where the train was kept sheltered during the winter. They had added a tunnel through one of those big concrete pipe sections. Planted fast growing bushes on either side to make it look cool. Such a treat to see it running around the large looped track. The train started at the train barn up near the house, ran down next to the driveway to almost the end (I think they also used the train for transporting the trash cans on trash and recycle days), then the tracks paralleled the road for a bit, went through a hedge, turned back up toward the back of the property and went through the tunnel. After that it continued back near the real barn, and made the final turn to finish the loop and pass through the train barn (about the height of a person and a bit longer than the entire train). On nice summer days we'd drive past and see the old guy in his overalls and conductor's cap giving kids a ride. Awesome! Have fun with your train, it's a wonderful project!

Only Steve would start laying track without having a train. 😉👍

don't ever sorry Steve , if we just wanted a camping channel we would go somewhere else , this the the best channel on you tube my friend , i was not expecting this and nearly fell off my chair when i watched it your a star with a fantastic imagination , crazzzzy neighbour is just as mad but we love you both , please keep it up , brilliant just brilliant .

steve, for your house. Look into GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP HEATING. Your property is probably year round 45 degree F heat/cold sink for winter heat and summer cool. You are HVAC competent and High efficiency compressors, pipes 15 feet underground never freeze so no "FROST LOCK" the way AIR SOURCE does. Good Luck.

the "one step beyond" railroad looks like an awesome idea! along with step 2 stations! i think you will be enjoying yourselves!

I love it when crazy neighbour is with you, thanks Steve.xx

I cannot wait to see this rail series! I skimmed other comments and plenty others made awesome suggestions who sound like they know more. My only thought was with the hollow tubes is to fill them with sand so they are more rigid and can support more weight. But I am sure you've already got a solid idea and I can't wait to see it! Thank you for the videos!!!

Great idea

Would love to see a new raft camping video! Been watching them all recently and I love them! Regular content is also great of course, excited about this rail line

Nothing but love and respect for you, Beautiful wife and Crazy Neighbor. It's an awesome project and wonderful watching your videos. We viewers truly enjoy your personality and various escapades you get into. No need for apologies, just continue being you. 😊💯 🔥

After this episode I'm not exactly sure anymore about who's the real crazy guy here. Steve Wallis, Railway, Boat, Bus, Tree house, EPIC.... Man, honestly, you are living OUR dreams... 😜🚂🚂🚂🚂☀️

This is absolutely one of the coolest things you've ever done. This might even equal Boondocking. Yeah, I know, sacrilege.

Bro of course we want this video. Heck just a short chat to catch up is awesome to me! Much respect to you and Mr. G my Canadian brothers!

"Crazy neighbor" is just as loyal and fun-loving as any golden retriever I've ever owned :)

Crazy Neighbour is too good for Steve... A pure soul.

You deserve to get to one million subscribers, you are such a great guy.

From experience with dog kennels and fencing I can say that the pipes are not as solid as you think. One good tree limb fall and the pipes are crushed. I tried to build a small roof out of 1/4 plywood and 2x4s on the pipes of a kennel before and it collapsed after about a foot of snow fell on it the first time. You may want to go with square or rectangular tubing. I know prices for everything is crazy, but it will hold up longer with weight on them more than what that thin pipe will. That or even heavy metal gas line might work as well. Being suspended in the air and not being flush to the ground may also bring a concern with flex with the pipes unless you plan on the wooden ties in the ground, which it don't seem that way. Anyways, good luck guys and have fun!

My first thought was you and CN in little hand pump cars but then I thought no. CN is there so it’s going to require a turbo and seatbelts. Can’t wait until this is finished. You all are entertaining as always.

Steve do a zip line from one campsite to the next but the railroad looks good I hope what cart you are using is plastic and lightweight.

Wow Steve that's a great way to get step'2 delivered while you and Krazy Neighbour sit there and ponder your next move. It's definitely something us Aussies would do for sure, ENJOY guys!!

Love this idea, I've loved miniature railway since I was a kid, keep coming up with ideas like this and it won't be long before you have 2 million subscribers, and don't worry to much about the content, because we love watching you and crazy neighbour what ever you're doing, and please see if you can get beautiful to make an appearance, that could only increase your viewing figures. 😎🥰

I love the idea of having your own train! You and Crazy Neighbor are so creative. I will be following this DIY project with great interest.
