"... but while no one was watching, the tree had moved a little closer to the rails!" I laughed so hard at this :)
Same here

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!
Genius, defiantly going to test that strategy next time I do something.
Does you have any CZcams pages about your model railroads and railway if there is anything please let us know cos i am biggest fan of models and miniatures
I make wooden railway train videos for my CZcams channel and I’m eight
I feel so called out by this post.
@@gurunanthan7445 you should check out Christrax, he build a N Gauge model railway over lockdown and made 50 videos documenting all the progress.
you have the perfect narrator voice for exactly this kind of thing.
These videos always make me happy, I don’t know why
Likewise :)
I think because it's wholesomeness; a vanishingly rare thing. Beauty and pleasure in simple physical work and mental exercise. (Design).
A idea to use as a engine for your railway is. A electric scooter that been scrapped . Modified the wheels to run on rails. Small quiet compact design.
What a lovely demonstration of 'loading gauge'.
This idea of steel wheels on steel rails might just catch on!
Somebody tell Elon Musk! :)
Shall we call it... the HyperPoop?
@@RCake for the win!
Don’t tell tech bro inventors. They will find a way to remove the efficiency to make room for buzzwords

It might be helpful to put a post or stake just outside the station that marks how wide your wagon can be so you'll hit that rather than the tree or gatepost
A friend who shovels poo for you is a friend indeed....
I burst out laughing at 9:17, those darn trees always moving when nobody is watching!
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.
french people power, the tree has moved whle no one was watching.... all great jokes! fabulous work
Where is Hobart when you need him. He fixed Sherman tanks.😂😂😂
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 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
Glad to see you are "on track" on this project, Tim! So nice to have some friendly helpers come by... thanks for sharing. Regards to Sandra!
This is where a locomotive would come in handy these long or heavy wagons can be heavy and can be hard and tiring to pull around after some time I think you should continue working on that (Air powered) locomotive you were working on months ago I think it would really help
I have to say, the track looks brilliant now the grass has grown around it a bit! I think it might be time to get a loco-hauled service for your stock is getting larger and your hills are getting steeper!
That's what I was thinking, a better compressor and brakes on both axles would help a lot
Currently the railway is quite small and theres no real need for an engine at the moment. Although they have already made one, more as an experiment.
If i remember correctly, the guy said that once the railway is expanded more then they would start using loco's
Currently he doesn’t need one…
And he has horses
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.
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).
both. both is good
@@ivoryfields2631 Agreed. The rope tow might actually be better on the steeper sections, avoiding the difficulty of slowing a locomotive.
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.
LOL! Who could resist THAT title!
i just love your railway, back yard railroad with a purpose instead of just going in circles
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
I might be Studying Computer Science with the goal to get a Master in Aerospace Engineering, but watching this is still Interesting, maybe no Rocket Motors but the Simplicity and ingenuety with these Projects is something simply fascinating and amazing to watch.
That together with the fun commentary makes this one of my favourite channels on CZcams.
This video should be titled "All aboard the poo poo train". How could you have missed this opportunity for a low grade pun like that?!

1:15 Put 2 hinges on the platform in this image (left/right side), the 3 planks closest to the train could fold upwards & backwards, then just fold it down behind the train.
It also allows you to install a little wooden wedge/ramp in the trough for easier un-/loading of the barrels.
YES. His poor wife.
@@LukeyHear ???????????
Maybe make a battery operated flatbed car to push the ether cars, and walk behind it? Great videos!

Cool concept, fun project...........
However, I have serious reservations about the practicality.
as a model RR i think i were on the right "track" ... lol make bins like the metal one or those fish bucket... and make a wheel barrel truck to pull the bucket on to at the end and dump were needed... like a ship in containers....
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. They might be long term, but are probably short term in Ireland, and that would be covered by the reciprocal 90 day tourist visa that UK citizens would have to Schengen and vice versa.
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.
I watch all of your videos. They are the BEST! Great job.
Great video...👍
its quite funny how you've somewhat made a gravity train at that downhill section haha
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 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.
Wheelbarrows with collapsible handles.
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.
I really enjoy watching your vedios your a very clever man .
It's always been a dream of mine to have my own railway like you have hopefully one day it happens .
But in the meantime I shall do mine in model form and still get as much enjoyment as you do .
Keep up the good work and your vedios your a real inspiration.
Thank you
ide say you played with meccano as a child. Well done.
Always fun to watch, thanks for sharing.
I like trains
The best thing about your wee rail trip it sounds real with it's click and clacking along very soothing 😌 ☺️
Maybe he'll start a long distance passenger service with luxury sleeper cars. I can dream.
the boats that removed the poo sludge from the London Plants downriver were known as the Bovril Boats
Idea: have a little lever on all your rolling stock and if you push it then the brakes will apply.
He already has that on his locomotive
@@OntarioTrafficMan it would be smart to have one on all his carriages tho. That way, he can stop them anywhere on the track, without worrying about them running off when he turns away.
@@mickys8065 Yeah but that would be a lot of work. Probably easier to just make some parking blocks. Just take a block of wood, cut a slot so it fits over a rail, and stick it next to the wheels when you park
You could use modified wheel barrows that have quick-change handles and perhaps even wheels so that they can be more compact on the railway and have the handles slotted in when needed
even just handles that hinge down instead of stick out will help a lot for clearance issues.
Maybe (once the budget is there for it) custom wheelbarrows that have more muck space in the bucket and are more compact on the car could be an option
Just two long straight handles that slot in, maybe with one of those spring loaded pins for security and a socket on the end.
You are quite the inventor but the learning curve can be hard. I am glad that you had some help.
*curve
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 czcams.com/video/DP0t2MmOMEA/video.html cheers and take care.
Doesn't really make sense to do due to the kiln's inefficient calcination process and the fuel cost of that.
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.
@@leverettrailfan5414 but from what I heard, they gets kicked up easily and gets everything dirty faster
@@namibjDerEchte the kiln is wood fired so provides more material
Hooray for railways!
6.30pm Saturday here in Aussie
French team to the rescue 😆
I love following this channel so much that I've genuinely started having dreams about travelling to Ireland to help out!
Oh man now I’m singing poo train to the tune of the song Peace Train 😂😂😂 Love the vids 👍👍
Glorious
I respect your restraint not calling it a Poo Poo Train. :)
Woo-hoo! It's the Poo Choo Train!
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! Leave the mono track in place monorail can use 1 rail of main rail to move to next rows.! Merry Christmas.
now just a lever and two wooden blocks to make a mighty handbrake =)
Thanks Tim
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.
French people power! Haha brilliant
So nice to see the trial and error! You are a true engineer!
it's good to see that that the double bogey wagon is coming along, but this project was needed in order to get the garlic planting done, no? i hope you aren't being held up too long!
I suggest making some gaps, or shallow areas in the wood board for the wheel and feet of the wheelbarrows to sit in, so they're more secure, and kept in a correct position better.
i agree
Or keep the metal rail in its original trough side
Wow !!! Great !!!
Good job Tim :)
Bonjour Les Cousins de la France 😇👌👍You have OUTSTANDING Helpers and videos Sir 👍👍👌👌💪💪😇😇Cheers 🍻🍻
Whoo-hoo, it works!
Brilliant job!!
You might need that locomotive sooner than expected...
agreed
Way Out West Workshop Stuff International !
The platform needs a sign with the arrival and departure times for the poo train!
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.
Fantastic! Now you have a well-flat wagon!
Now you need a locomotive 🚂
I like to imagine how (e.g.) miners would've used to work/live back then, when watching your videos, because it keeps reminding me of what it must've been like. x)
Would like to see the poo train pulled by your air powered train
Amazing work! Making something with next to nothing is a huge achievement in itself and you do that in and with spades!
Hey c’est cool des français 😉
Ouais, c'est ce que je me suis dit aussi !!!
Congratulations!!!

11:02 If the plan was to use a horse to pull 6 barrows and two Frenchmen can move 4 barrows, we can therefore presume that if the horse is good for 6 barrows, i.e 1 Horsepower, we can assume two Frenchmen is 2/3 of a Horsepower or single Frenchman is 1/6 of a Horsepower.
I therefore submit that we use the "Frenchman" as an additional fraction for the measurement of power output, 1 unit of Frenchman (written as Fm) being the equivalent of 1/6 of a Horsepower or 124.2 Watts.
Wow how efficient low rolling resistance is
What delightful young men.
Very fun seeing the rail come along! Try making the next bogeys with a "5th wheel" for the pivots: larger pin, and a horseshoe surrounding it to add stability so it won't rock back and forth.
Ah, but it has to rock side to side, to cope with the uneven ground..
Cool vid.
That is the best ever home railway poo train in the World.
Surely nothing could surpass it but I'm sure you will lol.
That should have a deadman break on the rear wheels. If the car runs it pulls a pin and the break sets.
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!
An idea for braking:
Put a plate above one wheel with some distance.
Put a wooden wedge between the wheel and the plate and tie a rope to it.
If you pull on the rope, the wedge gets jammed between the plate and the wheel, if you let the rope go, it gets pushed out again.
This will only brake in one direction but that's what you need for that hill.
It is 3:00 am for me but I have to take the time to watch your new video
It's 8:00 am for me, I use gmt.
Same traffic (same here in layman's terms)
Excellent, just need a bell on the wagon
Tim, why not go back to your original design for carrying the wheelbarrows and hinge the arrival platform instead? The arrival platform starts folded, the train arrives, you unfold the platform, unload the barrows, reload, fold, then train back. You have to fold the platform twice each run, but you regain the stability of your original design.
French Powered Turd Trough Track!
Thanks Tim and your two French muscle men!
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.
Exactly - so that's why I'm holding onto the end of the rope. Much easier/cheaper/quicker : - )
I really think this is a fantastic railway. I also loved the enthusiasm of your helpers! Thanks for sharing.
votre projet de mini chemin de fer à l'ai super stylée !
j'avais vue un autre youtubeur y mettre des moteurs d'hoverboard (4 moteurs) et je trouvais le concept super pratique 👍
en tout cas bonne continuation les gars ! c'est du très bon boulot 😉
nstead of putting them on the platform sideways put them at a 30 degree angle
awesome job team 👏 " The Pooluge " running from Breakdown central to the Harvest patch. under French locomotion 👍🍻🕊
this would look so great with tornado!
Next step is to utilize a small combustion engine and make it a true narrow gauge railway
*@Way Out West - Workshop Stuff*
4:00 Maybe position the barrels 45 degree along the length of the train ( as you did at: 3:17 ), best of both worlds?
