The Somehow & Somewhere (So & So) Railroad, Outlands Branch, Video No. 1
This is the first video of the So. & So. R.R. in SF Bay Area, California. It is a garden railway, a folded crossover dogbone loop of about 230 feet, or roughly a scale mile of track. It uses "G scale" rolling stock and track, about 1/2" to the foot, or 1/24th (varies slightly from car to car). It uses simple variable DC electricity to the track, 0 - 24 VDC. This has taken me about 2 years to build so far in my copious spare time, including the garden (the yard used to be a dry patch of mostly dead lawn). The garden uses mostly native and mostly drought-tolerant flowers, so water requirements are modest at most. The whole shebang is under construction still, so more to come.

One of several beautiful waterfalls in Big Basin Redwoods, Berry Creek Falls is 65 feet high and flows year round in a grove of ancient redwoods. The hike is 11 miles round trip, and is one of the best hikes in Central California. Big Basin Redwoods is California's oldest state park, and covers several square miles of ancient redwood forests. It is located about 20 miles north of Santa Cruz, an...

      One of these sold on eBay (USA) recently. It is G gauge by Bachmann and has been out of production for a number of years. At first when I saw it on eBay I thought it was an English locomotive because it is a tank engine. I guess we made a few tank engines for use in the lumber industry years ago.

  • @bobmott7914
    @bobmott7914 10 років тому

    The Mallet in this video goes much faster than the one on the BHCR ( Black Hills Central Railroad). This is because the grades of the BHCR are much steeper. Good video overall though

    • @trainzillamodelrailroading9905
      @trainzillamodelrailroading9905 9 років тому

      Well, these were meant to go on grades, there logging mallets! The only reason for black hills to go slower is because they just like to go slower. Steam had way more power and tractive effort than diesels so it should have no problem with grades.

    • @CaliforniaZephyrProductions
      @CaliforniaZephyrProductions 8 років тому

      While the 6% grade does slow the train down slightly on BHC, The real reason for the speed is the line is a mining branch line and not a mainline like niles canyon was. The speed limit has historically been 15 MPH. also with blind crossings and tight curves we average about 10-12 MPH

    • @brucejensen2693
      @brucejensen2693 3 роки тому

      This line actually does have a few steep grades, but the engine is strong and the trains are short.

    For those who wonder - this engine seems to be able to operate all day long in fantrips on a single tank of oil, which is the bunker behind the cab. That would be adequate for several tens of miles before a refill is needed. However, like all steam engines, it goes through tons of water very quickly, requiring a refill of the two large saddletanks after every round trip.
