Harrild Railroads
Приєднався 3 лют 2018
This YT canal shows videos all about building and use of a model train layout in the garden. There will be themes about the planning, the work, different technical stuf and about driving on Harrild Railroads.
Along the way, garden rail enthusiasts will be visiting, just as Harrild Railroads will visit other courses and technical experts to listen to their experiences and be inspired.
The layout is located in a large garden on a hilltop way out in the countryside. The track width is 45 mm and running with rolling material in Scale G (1: 22.5 and around) and Scale 1 (1:32 with variations). The course has started in the summer of 2017, and the first stage was ready in the autumn.
There are experiments with different contractor techniques, rail types, bridges, building of rolling materials, etc. One of the concepts is to make as much as possible with available materials - and believe me, you always have a board and a few tiles lying when you living on an farm ...

For binding the old part of the layout to the new "HighEnd" there'll have to be at high bridge in the corner of the garden. Due to access for people and machinery it have to be a folding bridge. Through the winter there have been a lot of thinking, and now it's time for some action! 🚂🙂 You can see the previous episode on this project here: ua-cam.com/video/j2m-OTObnQw/v-deo.html

This film is on experiments on using ultrasonic humidifiers to make steam on my steam locos (maybe diesels too). There are several advantages to using this technique: The devices are cheap to buy ($2-3 each), they run on tap water, only a small voltage (5 volts) is needed, moderate power consumption and thesmoke actually looks ok, compared to smoke oil aggregates. In the future, I will make a f...

Que original !!
Back fill the blocks with aggregate or gravel. Water it and tamp it down, will be there forever!.
Machinist automatic punch on ABS plastic… well done caveman…
The factory smoke unit in my 2-6-6-2 Bachmann Baldwin,,,,, pretty much a joke The after market smoke unit in my friends one diesel is working alright though
NOT egg liner, Hippie liner.
Love the idea of a VW Railbus! It is a great project.
Wunderschön! Thank you for sharing. What a fun project!
Very Cool! I had a 65 split window bus in 1976. They are so much fun, I may have to build a rail bus for myself!
Ja den er smart den controller, jeg er lidt træt af jeg ikke har brug for MU funktionen da jeg kør individuelle toge.
Spoil by Giant Hand and Monster Human being. Imagine if there's such a thing called editing. Kudos.
Very nice! Please remember to remove the batteries from your hand set if you are going to leave it for any length of time.
Nice install, I did an RS3 very similar to yours a couple years ago. I tend to burn my fingers with the hot glue, trying to work too fast. I like your install, looking great!
Well, I did most of the thinking while I did the rebuild of the A-unit. Second time is just that much easier. 🚂😊 And you don’t have to put the hot glue on the fingers…🙃
What is the total length of this track?
The small original 8 digit-loop is 42 m., the track through the large curve with all the bridges is about 30 m. In “the highend” (in the lowest part for the garden) I’m ready to lay down the next 50 m of track. When I finish the large loop I’ll be around 200 m for the first singletrack layout - and double up in the future, when I finish the second track loop. If you want it in ft., just make it x3,3. 🚂😊
Fint tog.... godt at Mikkel kan hjælpe Moffa 😊
Hyggelig video :)
100 kilometer i timen,,,,, lyder som om det måske var godt at ligge en top speed limit ind med den unge togføre.
Very cool!
Damn - det ser godt ud Harrild. Up and running again :-)
Kool...... Nice to see some opening for Season Prep...... Thank You for Posting/Sharing.....
Very cool! I use that same plumbers metal tape for securing some of my tracks.
Battery train is a god send for snow plowing.
Very cool! and cold, LOL I have the same tunnel material, works great for sounding the whistle/horn for a little echoing.
!Excellent shot. Like!
She is a Beautiful Engine!!
track power is just a mess outside, when we did it way back in the day we had a connection to the track every 2 - 3 Meters That is just 1/2 the speed my 2-6-6-2 do on a 5 cell battery, my little porter it is just on a 4 cell battery, but it is about all i can fit in one of the small ore cars, it is also smaller than the 5200 MAH batteries i have for the big trains. We do prefer to have the battery on a trailing car or tender, my friend even have sound system in a tender.
I always put a soft towel down when i work on something. Looks great!!
Kool.... Thank You for Posting.....
Neat bridges and a really cool engine.
The Engine driver is Piko's CEO Rene Wilfer!
Yes, with were staring eyes…🚂😄
Looks good :)
My friend is now talking about dismantling the track, and sell it all. We will see. BTW i have worked on MY during my apprenticeship at DSB in the early / mid 80ties, so yeah i know my way around those. I actually made a couple of speaker stands out of Pistons from a GM diesel, not sure if it was from the V16 though, threw them away after a while as they was too small for some of my speakers, and quite heavy for speaker " feet " It was cool how these pistons would " swim " on the rods so the piston could more around, i think it was for wear leveling CUZ i think these engines was also submarine engines before uncle Sam got all nuclear. I also have a table beer opener, made out of a exhaust valve for a train engine, or that is i think i still have, i have not been into beer drinking since the late 80ties, but it was made much like stelton beer openers
You got some interesting artifacts from your career, didn't get to keep them all but that's life.
She is a Beautiful engine!
Since it is 6-axle trucks it is more similar to a U.S.A. E9 but with control cabs on both ends. Will you strip out the Piko electronics or keep them intact and incorporate the R/C decoder?
These MY was produced from 1954 - don’t know what model exactly was the american prototype for these swedish build locos, but the motor was a 16 cyl. 2-stroke GM’s. They’ve got six axels because of the max. axel weight in Denmark. Yes, I’ll strip the Piko-stuff and put in Revo-RC receiver+sound. That’s how I made my F7a.
Very interesting. Thanks. Joe😊
It is a lot of work but well worth it.
That sounds like the TE sounds? I do love the F7's, and the tunnels are a great place to sound the horn! I would love to try a Tsunami sound system if they were not so expensive. Even in the middle of winter, your railroad is looking great! As I said, I love the F7's but I have the Great Northern A&B.
Hvem kan finde på at stjæle togvogne? 🤔🫤
Mig og min makker fortrækker at have en batterivogn hvor batteriet er, okay det er nu mest et praktisk spørgsmål for der er ikke plads indeni min 2-6-6-2 Baldwin, og da slet ikke i min lille Porter. Der er ikke tender til min Baldwin så jeg bruger en af mine fladvogne, har så bare ikke endnu fået lavet et læs der kan dække over batteriet Min makker er så fan af LGB koblingerne hvor jeg fortrækker at bruge klokoblinger ( Bachmann ) For satan jeg er træt af jeg fik mine 4 Little river godsvogne i 1:20.3 stjålet, jeg tænker på dem hver gang jeg ser eller roder med togene, de var jo ikke ligefrem billige.
I have never been a fan of the Revo system. I was a long time user of CVP's AirWire but this past year I have switched to using Ring Engineering's RailPro for most of my locomotives along with a few SoundTraxx Blunami installs to use at public functions to entice the younger generation by operating with an Iphone or Android phone. I know USAT users some LED lights but when I install decoders I replace all the lighting with new LED's. The worst part about opening up USAT locomotive shells that I have is dealing with those awkward springs on their operable doors.
Det er Revolutions RC jeg installerer. Lyden er indbygget, og der er alternative lyde at hente på deres site. Som du kan se i diagrammet er der tale om stereolyd. Der skulle lige være kommet en decideret GM-lyd som kan hentes nu. Den tænker jeg skal ind i både A- og B-modulerne, og i den Piko-MY, jeg lige har købt. 🚂😊
Nå nååååå vi rykker op i de store tog nu 🙂 Ser ud til at være train engineer du sætter i svinet, velkommen i klubben. Hvad gør du med lyd ??? separat lydkort eller den lyd der nu kan fås i modtagerne til train engineer. Da vi startede med de her RC der var train engineer aristocraft og der var ikke lyd, så i min store 2-6-6-2 Baldwin der har jeg et Phoenix sound lydkort. Modtageren ploppede bare lige ned oveni Backman elektronikken, så meget dejlig installation I min lille porter der bruger jeg en af de nye mini modtager og lyden i den. Min makker har også deres spor skifter modul, men vi har sku ikke leget meget med det, for har aldrig haft mange sporskifter inde i systemet på den gamle bane i Åbyhøj eller nu ude på gården. Der er planer, men planer koster penge.
Fantastisk projekt. Kan se du har værktøjet i orden... Men tænker lidt, at en almindelig fukssvans, kunne skære de plastrør over hurtigere, og lidt mere elegant.
Jeg bruger faktisk fukssvansen, når rørene ligge ned. Men da jeg skar det første batch af pæle med monteret aluprofil, erfarede jeg, at det var svært at skære helt tæt, ude at ridse profilerne.
That first music track was great... looks like lots of work...
Looks like it's time to resort to bigger and heavier locomotives for the snow plow.
I am wondering if we are going to get any running done this coming year, i am planning to build a new shed to shoot from at my friends place. Okay that is not a all year thing, but as we got 0 done last year chance are after this year you can not see a little bit of track anywhere due to it being overgrown.
Well, I guess it’s all about time for the hobby? I think it’s easier when the layout is just outside my home. 🚂🤔
@@harrildrailroads5584 Yeah. My friend cant do much due to his arthritis, also he have other things too, and ADHD so his focus easy get sidetracked. ATM he is building on a 1:24 scale track for the little off-roas card in his stable, he gotten quite a bit done already in there. Just no work here in winter as even in the summer he freeze his hands very easy. I am hoping to get some weeds pulled out this year, and replace a wrongfully placed R2 piece of track with a R3 as otherwise my friends trains can not navigate the inner loop. Which is kinda funny CUZ my 2-6-6-2 deal with that just fine. Also the foundation for our bridge somehow collapsed as if a elephant been up on it, so need to do something about that too, and both loops cross that bridge. Anyway hope for a long summer, and not one that end in June like this past summer.
This looks like so much fun! I really want to make something to clear the snow on my garden layout in case we get snow 🌨️
God jul :) 🎁
Lige over! 🚂🎅🏻
Super. I usually use three locomotives on my snowplow train. I love that snowbrusher. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Very enjoyable. I wonder if any outdoor garden G scale runs on track power. With that you might be able to run more or less continuously during a snowfall to keep up with it. Or have it go at intervals on a timer with an appropriate setting if on battery, keeping equipment in the tunnel between runs. Fun to think about.
That’s a funny idea. But I wouldn’t let it run unattenden too long - accident happens! 🙃 The first winther I ran the trains on track power. But as you can see here, the loco gets in trouble sometimes, because it looses electric contact sometimes. 🚂🙃 ua-cam.com/video/3w96xNAnmuY/v-deo.htmlsi=9C4qt2u2JxWeetqh
@@harrildrailroads5584 I hear ya. Here's another one then; run DC current through each track with the track distance itself being the load. Maybe a couple of amps. The voltage needed would depend on the total track resistance value. If it was 1 ohm for example, it would take 2 volts to push 2 amps with 4 watts dissipated. I'm only guessing at the actual resistance, and I don't know how many watts it would take. The rails can definitely melt the snow directly on top and right next to them. They'd become dry too. Between the rails and whatever side body clearance is needed would still be an issue. If you try it let me know how it works out.
