Aaron, I really like this video. Great shots, the railroad looked like it was working a job, nice bird songs, and chickens! Thanks for the derailment at the end, I was worried that it was going to be a perfect video! All though, it couldn’t be because there were no cats!

Good to see the car inspectors were doing their job in ensuring the two loads were safe to move before being released for pick up.

We haul a lot of wood on our 7.5 railroad, but we are stuck with hauling it in our gondola and hopper cars. Need to build some log flats like these. Great job

They're just regular flat cars that I cut stakes for. Real simple.

Good video! I always enjoy watching the chickens wandering around. That one rail joint out there looks pretty loose, I can see where that's eventually going to cause you trouble. The one rail end drops pretty far when the wheels go over it.

Do the chickens represent your yard workers? If so they are doing a good job, keeping everything slow and safe in the yard!

@MillBrookRailroad Жыл бұрын

I think the chickens are represented by the IBFA: The International Brotherhood of Farm Animals. The cat is their union rep.

I could tell you some line about it giving the motor controller better ventilation, but the truth is: the cab side was damaged recently, so the front door won't shut.

I wonder if I should have a small railway at the back of my house because I grow carrots in my small garden on the edge of Moscow I no it is just me and my 3 year old daughter but it would help because my garden is a bit long not wide and I don’t like moving them in bags it takes to long and I am sure my daughter won’t mind what do you think good idea or not?

@MillBrookRailroad 2 жыл бұрын

Seems like a good idea to me. Why not?

@rainbowfactoryponyplayz 2 жыл бұрын

Ok thanks at least I now no that it is a good idea. And most of the carrots are used to make carrots cake I don’t know why but they are And growing carrots is a good way to use the garden when you don’t no what you use it for. So having a railway is a good idea so thanks
