Put a keyway in the shaft and hub. Have the set screw hold the key not the axel. You are putting torque into the weakest part. If you grounded the axel already it can still be done

I'll note, train guys are some of the nicest people you'll meet. It's a hobby that's allowed me a lot of opportunity from the people I meet. Of note on wheels, I've avoided set screws. The wheels on my equipment are pressed onto the axles, then have weld behind that. Even at 7.5in gauge (Half the size of this), I've seen wheels wander. A belt and braces approach may help.

Or, alternatively, he could drill a few holes along the seam between the axel and hub, tap them, and put bolts in there. If you do it right it could work, but that's kinda tricky to do with a hand drill. What may be better is to grind a few 'flats' on the axel and key the hub so that the hub is taking the torque on the faces, not the set screw. combine this with a bolt in the end of the axel, some washers (and some loctite), and you can set the depth of where the hub sits on the axel with where the flats end using the shoulder that that'd make.

@@MrRailroadrunner I mean, with a lock nut (not nylok, just a thinner nut) on a bolt in the middle of the shaft you can get it pretty dam secure. plus, threading direction can help with that. grinders have to deal with this issue and the solution there is make the thread so that the spinning shaft tightens it.

Have I ever mentioned that set screws are evil? Well they are. Cross-drill the hub and shaft for a roll-pin, tapered pin, or bolt and it'll never come loose in the field. (making a clamp hub is better, but much harder to do without a welder or machine tools) Fyi, using brake drums is brilliant. Amazing that they work so well. Should be a lot cheaper to get them finish machined as well.

It's really nice for once to see a youtuber who want to make thing-that-goes-on-rails start with correct wheel geometry first without learning that the hard way after finishing everything else first.

Yes good

A set screw is not going to be permanant enough. Based on my experiece with live steam models, even with the screw in a hole, it will still come loose. You're going to need something more permanant, like a pin, a rivet or welding. Glue is an option, but would probably not be enough on it's own.

I'm so happy to have watched this cannel grow to the point that you could not only afford to do this project but you're getting more and more sponsors. Great job man, and great video!

This is edited differently then your previous videos and its realllllly good. your old videos are still super good but in my opinion this is a good bit better.

The brake drums are inspired! This is so cool!

Cross drilling for a pin is likely the better option, but if you grind an aggressive enough flat (like diameter/4) it should be fine with a set-screw and some loctite. I’d drill and tap a circular keyway into the shaft and drum you’d take care of the torque without having to worry about a pin shearing off, and maybe also add a pin to prevent it sliding down the shaft.

Way cool of the park to let you use their facility! I definitely want to add that to my list of places to visit. Is it Little Amerricka in Marshall, WI?

Dude! Yes! I was trying to build a portable rail cart a couple years ago that could easily be carried, disassembled and fit in the back seat of my car. I managed to build a working prototype but it wouldnt have lasted long term Im sure. The wheels were one of the biggest issues. I wish I had known that Cavalier brake drums would be a good fit! Wouldve saved sooo much time. The other big issue was real tracks have a variance in distance between rails. Especially in abandoned tracks, where I had measured over 3" in variance in some places. So I had to concoct an expandable drive axle. It was rickety af and noisy but it worked. Watching this made me want to finish it...if I ever get the time. Pretty cool man. 👍

There used to be a railways mod on Minecraft. A couple of them actually. One of them, Rails of War, allowed you to model standard gauge locomotives, which are double the size of minecarts. So it totally makes sense that a minecart would be about the size of a narrow gauge railway.

First time seeing your channel Joel. Love the idea! Been imagining this since like 2010 😂 Can't wait for part 2. Definitely earned yourself a sub.

Anthony loves Little Amerika. Very cool they let you use the tracks.

I wish this had millions of views. You deserve it

2:19 I know this is off-topic but as a railfan I'd like to point out how stunning the 15" gauge 4-12-2 looks so far.

Y'know, I never thought about low rides like that before outside of karts, but this already looks like fun! Astute work with the references as well.

omg at 2:17. that big loco has been in the works since like early 2020 but i didn't know the status of it until now. it looks good

Thank you for bringing light to the live steam community these people spend there whole lives building these little trains
