I'd say the supporting planks underneath could do with a front and back stop, so they keep the wheelbarrow legs from sliding backwards and forwards while you're moving. Other than that, great stuff :)

I love watching this project grow and thoroughly enjoy seeing your creations come to life. I might suggest building small platforms to help with loading and unloading.

Indeed ... a more modest version of Le Shuttle's side-loading vehicle ramp system should do the trick.

Very clever and practical. A very large trebuchet that could loft vast quantities of poo huge distances at high speed, would be pointless but great fun- particularly after several pints!

This may be for your livelihood but that doesn’t stop it from being an incredibly cool project

I love your channel, your track system, and you are brilliant with your design! Watching you problem solving in the video, and each iteration of your design is entertaining! If we had leadership around the world with even half of your ability to come up with solutions the whole world would be a better place! The big 37 year old kid would love to see a locomotive on your track system! I hope you keep sharing your intriguing life with all of us for many years to come!

This video is a good explanation of a railroad problem. When you need specific something to be hauled, standard cars might not work. So you have to order a specific car which exists in small numbers. And is booked for several months straight. And you cannot carry anything except that specific something with them.

Your solutions are clever and interesting. I like the fact that you can use your bogeys for a variety of different cars. You can simply switch out the carriage. I suspect that you could fit quite a few containers on that car if you wanted.

It should also make bogie repairs easier as well. It might be a good idea to make a third bogie as a spare incase of a break down.

May i suggest you add some triangulation support bracing at both ends. Currently all the weight of your load is born on the two 90 degree welds on the box section that attaches to the truck hinge at both ends. Adding at least one, ideally two, diagonal bracing from where the hinge cross brace is, up to the tip of the peak where the top bar attaches would give it the additional rigidity i think it will probably need.

You need a gauge interchange! Make up a garden monorail at both ends, higher up, so you can roll the monocarts onto the bogey cart. Of course, you've done the wheelbarrow thing already, so ...

If you build your rail cars any bigger, you're gonna need a locomotive to move em. 🤪 Cool ideas. Love your channel.

I wish I was local, that looks like lots of fun. It would be nice to build something similar here in Wales but since my property is on about a 1 in 1 slope everything would soon end up down the bottom in the river. Then I'd need a stationary engine and a big winch to pull it all back up again! Thanks for the entertaining ideas though.

As soon as I saw you use that pipe section on the bogie top I said...this is the best thing you've ever made. The barrow carrier looked the best mode from the start. Brilliant

Some lateral thinking . . . - - - 1) The ideal solution -- move items in convenient sized skips which are then later attach to a wheelbarrow base. --- In essense this is what happens with container lorries - stuff is moved in boxes - wheels are attached. -- I am sure you could design a quick release wheelbarrow base . . . would need a simple crane at each end. -- You could do this very easily; there would be mutiny if I briefly joined your team 🙂 - - - 2) You railway moves stuff on the ground . . . -- You could adopted the alpine approach for skiers . . . each truck is suspened from a wire stretched between towers - - - 3) Could the trucks fly through the air . . . - - - 4) I have enough mad ideas of my own but without doubt **helping** you would be both educational and mind blowing - - Transformative even 🙂 Best wishes for a speedy planting season

Incredible job you've done! Can't wait to see Tornado pull that wagon around. Would be quite the excitement!

I STRONGLY urge you to put little 'chocks' on the pieces of wood where the wheelbarrow legs will sit. To stop them sliding off. But the whole thing, looks GRAND! ☮

Excellent! Interesting tracks too..

The only thing missing is a push bar at both ends. Not the draw bar thing. Yet something like a hand rail so one can just stand up right while pushing. i do not think they would bump in to when turning on the switches. Either way what a super good plan and well thought out idea. Better than the boxes. The wheel barrels are going to work out well.. You could maybe build a fixed ramp right next to the rails where the muck pile is. Would only take a few hand full of bricks. some stone, and a few bags of cement. Then all you need is a small flap to drive the wheel barrels up on and in to the track thing. Think of the ramp like a bridge type thing. Would be a cheap project once you have a spare day with Will!

Tim, I see a weak point at the ends of the suspended carriage where the 2 short box sections are welded,; I suggest some triangulation from the top of the triangle to where the bogies pivot, to prevent the box welds being over-stressed. Otherwise a very good solution to your problem.

The best part was seeing the children getting a ride! I'll bet they could be quite creative, being the engine drivers, setting the points to go where they wanted and such. That would make a great video!

A pity I didn't see this sooner -- I'm sure I'm a bit too late... but my immediate thought upon seeing the fish-boxes was, if you had a few little wheeled trolleys, something like a wheelbarrow with a shelf instead of a barrow -- or those four-wheel garden carts you can get here in the USA (I have one for grocery shopping, oddly enough, from the days before my local public transit system got so bad that I had to stop using it) but without the sides -- you could use those with the fish-boxes. Load the boxes onto a flatbed version of your new gondola car that you've built for wheelbarrows -- prb easiest just to drop a couple sheets of plywood on top, that'd hold it (of course you'd have to bolt em down) -- load the fish-boxes with muck, railroad em off to the garden. Scooch each fish-box onto a trolley, wheel and dump... repeat :)

How much fun!! Starting to look more like a railway

How about building a small wheelbarrow style cart for moving around the fish boxes? If it has two wheels, then the box could be slid on and off at the front. The same train car could be used to carry the boxes if you turn the runners over. Wheel the box up to the car, slide the box onto the car, once the car is full, place the cart onto the top of the car to ride along to the destination, slide a box off the car straight onto the cart, wheel the cart through the garlic beds, tilt the cart up to slide off the box very quickly.

What an absolutely brilliant project this is! It's been incredible watching this whole thing come to life. Can't wait to see where you take this next!

If you put a windlass of some sort at the kiln end (or pulleys) or at the garlic field end with a rope looping round and back down the track, you'd be able to winch loaded wagons up the track to where they need to go using a stationary engine or even actual horse power.

Your channel is my favorite. I’m just a 66 year old kid, so a homemade train in a backyard is all I need to buy-in. I wish I lived close so I could pop in and help… just around tea time. Your down-home matter-of-fact presentation is refreshing. Your narration is pleasant and engaging. Simple engineering without electronic gizmos everywhere does not tax my patience. Since everyone wants to help you with suggestions… I’ll chime in with a minimal idea that may or may not help. Only change out the wheelbarrow tire and axle. Replace the existing axle with a longer one, put 2 wheels on the outside of the long axle. In the, now, open center section of the axle add a tall metal pulley wheel. That new steel pulley wheel can be placed upon a monorail version of your track. But make it snake like and light so you can place it anywhere you like in your garden. I’m very glad you decided to include us in your private railroad adventure. Thank you.

Great design, ramps need work though, more of those gutters, perhaps double thickness should work. We sought to have a competition to decide a name for your latest rolling stock. I'll start with the Gutterexpress☺️

You need to build a trebuchet Tim and just fling the muck from the heap to the beds, it should disperse nicely as it goes through the air !🤭

all coming together nicely

I would gonna suggest hanging several buckets (platic etc, if you can find) from two sides (with a rotating balancing rod in between) so that you can mini!aze the distance between two wagons and handle tight turns.

This could be a good application for a MONORAIL! One rail between each bed, and boxes with the double flanged wheels on the bottom to run on it. Then you have the boxes loaded across the wagon, with a short section of rail at 90 degrees to the girders, and use it like a traverser- one runs onto a ramp, and then along the bed to where it is needed. Or multiple boxes, or however you wanted. You could I suppose use wooden rails to reduce the costs and time too.

Great solution! Very ingenious.

Woohoo! This is ingenious!!

*@Way Out West - Workshop Stuff* I think this is a wrong solution, but anyway for your consideration: I was considering a box with some shape suitable for a hand truck & compact stacking, it would probably be a tall & slim design, but the one side is a door, so you can lay it down to load it (don't have to lift as high) & then stand it up (compact storage on transport), and then you can either just open the door & let it all flow out, or push it off & turn it upside down & lifting. Also, I think an additional problem will be the weight, it will make the wheels of the hand truck dig into the dirt & get stuck. I think your solution is much better.

Very clever!

Sir, that is the last solution I expected. So a couple of pallets should make a loading ramp station for you. Tempted to catch the ferry and help. Thank you.

looks good so far

Brilliant stuff as usual. I wish I could be there with all the fresh air, quite and countryside.

Hi Tim. Great work 😊

Glad you went with the wheel barrows. As someone who moves 10-20 cubic meters of wood chip about the place a year, would hate to be attempting this without a wheelbarrow. They make everything much easier and quick compared to anything else. I was wondering if there could be some roll on - roll off type arrangement but I'm sure you will optimize this in due course. Would love to pop over to help, but I am literally as far away as possible, down here in New Zealand!

Thanks, David. Yes, wheelbarrows are marvelous machines, for sure

Always makes my day seeing new videos from this channel, i cant explain it, they always have such a calming aura to them

personally what i would do, is push the wagon by the frame not the bogies, typical trains do it this way so the bogies stay free floating. What i would do is get some thin box section and stick it into the end of the frame, maybe with a pin so you can choose what side, and make it comfortable pushing height, with maybe a small hook at frame level for pulling if you wanted

Genius invention, bravo

Theres a Boarderlands charicter who would be very excited by this lol

The new railcar is looking great.

Excellent, I love the paint! Now. How are you gonna get the wheelbarrows on easily? I personally would've made more of the little boat things and just put them on a flatcar of some kind, but this works, too! You also mentioned hills, and that makes me think of a question: do any of your cars have brakes? Runaway rolling stock is never good. I know they don't have anywhere to go now, but I think some simple brakes could nip that problem in the bud. A delightful project! I'm always glad to see new episodes!

Your voice is so calming and your invention so neat to watch develop!

Wow that is so cool!

It struck me that using this configuration you could also move logs around. Looking really interesting, I like this concept.

Transport the muck on a flat bed in the fish boxes, then tip each one or place each one onto a wheelbarrow to move it to the final place. All the storage of the fish boxes with the mobility of using a wheelbarrow.

Pretty cool. It was interesting to see all the possible iterations you went through, and what you came up with. You may need something to lock the wheel barrow legs in so they don’t slip off, but so far it seemed to not need that.

Now he just needs a fleet of bogie diesels XD

Love this

Wondering if, instead of loading from the side, at the end of the rail on the loading side you had a ramp/bumper that the bogie could bump into. Then the barrows can be loaded front to back one after the other, like shown in the diagrams you've provided, allowing for just enough space for a person to pick up each barrow for unloading at the other end. Then at the offloading end you have another ramp/bumper that allows for unloading in a front to back orientation. Allows for the slimmest loading orientation, no catching handles along the way, and loading and unloading in the desired orientation at each end. Really enjoying your videos and your skills. Very inspiring. Thanks.

Must be something in the water up your way bro ya always coming up with something that works. Safe travels

total awesomeness!!

I love your videos

Very nice!

Two words: “GENIUS”

Nice...!! It's all coming along quite well B)

Great railway!

Gussets on the main frame will reduce flex. Some tie down or clamp on the top center beam that could lock the wheel barrow handles to it will greatly improve stability and hopefully prevent any unexpected dismounts of the hoppers!

Put a support from top of angle section to turning point on wheel cart, to keep from having bending there.

I really enjoy watching your channel, you have brilliant ideas, the coolest thing is your locomotive and the route that goes with it. Unfortunately I don't understand English but you have a great explanatory voice and keep up the good work with your projects.

Interesting direction. Perhaps making dedicated ramps for the wheelbarrows would be a good addition. Maybe addition some bungie cord lashing that extends from the center beam to the outer edge of the barrows would reduce undesirable rocking. I am a bit surprised you didn't op for a traditional hopper design but I suppose there is not enough room to unload the hopper onto wheelbarrows near the greenhouse. Keep up the good work!

Whether to unload directly (requiring room to place a wheelbarrow under the gate) or have some form of mechanism to move the discharged load would be the next project.

Just a thought Tim... Why not have a central depository for the muck where you could liquify the material in 55 gallon drums and then pump the mixture to the fields and spray it over the surface quite easily. It seems that this method might save labor in the long run. You won't always be as young as you are now. 😁

What about making a modular wheel barrow, which could pick up interchangeable muck boxes. The train just moves the boxes, two modular wheel barrows live at both destinations. the modular wheel barrow could consist of a box/H frame with two spaced wheels on one end and handles on the other. In the middle there'd be some kind of pin or strap to pick up the standardized muck boxes. Depending on the mounting the muck boxes could even be tipped out while moving.

@agentgreengnome

Жыл бұрын

depending on the length of the modular wheel barrow frame, and the location of the muck box lifting pin, it could also be used to lift the boxes onto and off of the rail cart with lots of leverage.

Outstanding Sir that you are 👍😉😇 Cheers 🍻

So cool!

Super duper duper awsomer! 😊

Could you make something like a ground driven muck spreader wagon where the conveyor bed, instead of shoving the muck into the spinning spreaders, just tips it off the end into a waiting barrow. It could be driven with an appropriately geared bicycle rigged up, or even your engine. Just an idea! Barrow wagon is very good too.

amazing

the thing about the wheelbarrows is, they already have a frame, and fulcrums on both sides for handy raising. a hook in the front to catch the bit in front of the wheel, and 2 in the back for catching the handles, and you could drive perpendicular to the rails until the front hits the hook, tilt it over the legs so the wheel raises a bit to engage the hook, then lifting on the handles to catch those hooks and the whole wheelbarrow now hovers just over the rails. the rest of the frame is than just a bridge in tension, which I beams are great at. no side to side stiffness needed. the centre of gravity for each wheelbarrow will be as low as it can be as well. having said all that, this will probably work fine:)

how about detatchable wheel barrow tubs? You could have wheel barrow frames at each site to put the tubs on. The tubs would fit on a gondola carriage. a flat board coverts the gondola carriage into a flat bed...

Thanks for listening! 😁 May not have aired them but I had concerns as well 😬

Maybe think about adding 1 more piece of box section to each side from the top of the triangle down to the kingpin pivot

Wonderful! Notwithstanding your development work, have you considered using fishboxes as the muck carrying units then making a skid to drag them or perhaps a modified wheelbarrow? The fishboxes would be easy to fill being on the ground, not elevated as a wheelbarrow, they could be dragged to the rail head and stacked on a flat bed, which is pushed to the garlic beds. Then the fishboxes are cross loaded to the modified wheelbarrow, taken out onto tbe beds and tipped directly to where it is needed.

Wonderful array logistics. At this rate a full array of rolling stock.

very nice

Cool!!!! Now you'll need the engine soon

Is anyone else picturing this cart hauling track-parts when a long extension is made to the line? Also now wondering if a wooden pallet could be used for improvised planking for being used as a long low-riding flatbed. Time permitting (so, very much later) chaining a pair of carriages between 3 bogies together would save on building one bogie if you ever need to build a second one.
