Great idea using longboard wheels. Who cares you burned out the bearings. You tried and won. Ingenious idea with the wheels, the ride is so quiet, unlike steel wheels. Keep on inventing!

You have a track to do that but we don't

This system works until you come up to a frog or switch, those inner wheels will derail you.

This is pretty cool. I came looking for something like this 'cause there are some disused rail lines near me, but apparently the actual tracks have all been pulled up :(

awesome sweet simple design, but you can't go thru switches' or railroad crossings. just saying. i allways wanted to make one of them.. have a good time. put a seat on it. and an egg crate for water jug tools, gun, beer.

For a young fella or girl , that’s neat and simple. But for me and MaMa I’d have to make it big enuf for two, with a seat and tool box to carry “ stuff” etc. a saw for limbs etc, who knows, here in S Tx I don’t know if abandoned track...... but I can look 😃. Good use of resources to have some fun and see what you can make 👍👍

Sweet. I love the 8 wheel design with the 4 guiding wheels underneath. Must be a really smooth ride.

I just can't begin to describe how much win this is!

I thought about a similar design. Using those kinds of wheels. Didn't figure out the drive but I think you're on to something. You gotta make it safer so you don't get hurt. That railbed is unforgiving.

What's with all the background noise

😎🆒Cool & light weight rig.

It is a belt drive and I made the drive wheel out of a solid nylon plastic cylinder drilled out the center and pressed a bearing in each end,

That is simple as it gets! I like it! Keep it light! I would add a seat though.

Love it cant wait to see more improvements on it!

I really loved this man. Way to go!

Bravo! An effective and novel means of transportation. Well done.

Nice and simple, God bless you and your family Aloha

I like your design idea with the skateboard wheels and a simple, reliable belt drive. You are lucky to find abandoned tracks. All the railroads around where I used to live, when they went out of business, they tore up all the tracks. I knew some tracks in Pennsylvania, but they were miles in the backwoods and too deteriorated and overgrown, to ever ride on. I can only dream about the beautiful, scenic, good condition miles of track, some people have

Awesome. Building one now and was glad to find your video! Ryan in Oregon

Good Job Sir! Looks like fun.
