@eriks191 Great video. thank you for doing this. Are you running this off a 6V system, like most cars were back in those times? I'm having trouble with mine getting the glow plug to light on 6V (tried multiple plugs). I can get it to go on 12V but am wondering if that's to much for these.

I'm curious....has anyone reproduced the "jet tube"? That seems to be the one crucial yet impossible to find part for these old Southwinds. I have a NOS jet tube but am afraid to take it apart to see if I can reproduce it. Any chance you have one that is taken apart for examination? Thanks.

Great explanation & video! I actually took a photo of this signal in 1993! (And a few more around Riddle) ... Photos can be seen in my blog at interlockings.blogspot.com

Хорошо продуманная конструкция. Лайк!

Dang, used to be so dangerous....way simpler now.

I have a quick question for you, good sir! That jet tube attached to the carburetor. Does fuel slosh out of the hole you drilled into the top or anything like that? Is it sealed in any way? I'm prepping to install one, and this is the one part of the install that has me a little nervous. I don't want to screw anything up by accident.

I need to find a kit !

Love it.

I found one in my basement. Trying to figure out how to use it on a greenhouse

I have one of these heaters someone gave me, it appears to be complete and I hove no use for it if someone wants it chime in and we can work out some shipping, you pay shipping you can have it.

Are these really as dangerous as some people say?

Alguien me explique cómo anda ese juguete que motorcito tiene electricidad ????????????

Great video. I have several of these. Never found anyone who knew anything about them. I'm missing all the parts in the engine compartment. Know any place I can buy these parts?

Why are they called?

Where can you buy them at? I live in Lexington Kentucky and how much give me a phone number please there’s a lot of Bandan tracks here in Kentucky.

Style B semaphore operatinng units exist at thee San Diego museum in Balboa Park and the museum in Tehachapi, CA. Mark Clay McGowan has a good You Tube video on the entire historical collection of operating signals This os a reat video!

I have heard that he Montana Rail Link former Northern Pacific line along the Clark Fork River still has (or had) upper quadrant style saphores until BNDF ended the lease and began replacement to the new standard lineside color light units without moving parts.

Wow dude! That thing is registered in Idaho, What gives? Why is it on NV rails? Ha Joking the construction of that cart is art, the video is very cool too but I give you props for the buggy.

I’ve had one installed in my 1946 cj-2a jeep for a long time now. It works great and heats up within the advertised 90 seconds. I’m curious about that vacuum port adaptor that mounts between the intake and carb. You mentioned you heater did not function correctly without it. Presumably you connected the heater directly to the intake manifold vacuum port? What is the intake vacuum you get at idle? On my keep the intake vacuum roughly is 18 inches of mercury at idle and the heater works great despite not using one of those vacuum adaptors. I have mine plumb straight into the intake manifold.

Sweet machine

I have to ask a question here about a "train order signal," assuming it uses the same, or similar, roundels in it as those used in any US&S Style B semaphore signals. In Troy, NH, at the depot (now a railroad museum) its Train Order Signal is illuminated, red in one direction and (supposedly) green for the other direction. While the red aspect displays a pure red color the green light appears to be an almost white color! Do you know why this migh be the case? Do you think that the lighr in it used (maybe be an L.E.D.) is supposedly "too bright" to be used in any such signal head? Does your US&S Style B semaphore signal display a "more green" color than this Train Order Board signal at the depot? (There is no question about the Red aspect output. It clearly shows a red color. I have yet to see this Board set for a yellow display, most likely for nighttime viewing.)

I've got one in my 38 Ford. I've been too afraid to mess with it because I'm afraid of it catching fire!

Thinking those are abandoned tracks?

PISSER!!

I wonder what the MPG is on that. I would think it would get great mileage because the friction should be pretty low.

Absolutely yessss with shit kickin music to suit 🎵🎶 🙂👍🇬🇧

Whoop whoop 🤠

Where can I buy a railbike like that. How much?

So a quick story; when I lived in Creswell, I would frequently walk the tracks down past the signals that protected the tracks near Market Road. It was very common to see them malfunction on their last days from loss of communication (likely corrosion) from either the communication lines running along the tracks, or within the electrical box. Even though it was very faulty, it was still kinda cool hearing the mechanisms operate from trackside, and watching the signals move in response to the sounds from within. To this day I still wonder if CORP has a few of those blades hanging out in a warehouse somewhere along the line...probably not, but it would indeed be an awesome sight to see, that's for sure. Btw, why is the signal five feet shorter than its normal size? As the video started, I instantly noticed the height difference. Just curious. :-)

Nice

What do you use to power the signal motor? I did not see a battery so it must be a power supply?

Wish I could commit on your last ride video. I really enjoyed that video and over 20 minutes long. So cool

still fun in 2023 & good soundtrack

Be careful the road runner beep beep

My absolutely favorite model and type of signal. Hats off to you, sirs! You did a hell of a job. It simply doesn't get any better than that! This is probably my favorite type of train signal because this is the first one I ever remembered seeing. My local zoo has a fabulous train, and has one of these near their train station. It actually worked, too, as it would change from Clear to Approach to Stop as the train got closer back to the station. They were wise enough to put clear covers on the relay cases, too, so 12 year old me (or however old I was by the time I got curious enough to study it) could figure out how it worked. It's been several years since I've been to the zoo, but the signal was not working the last time I was there.

The only problem I see here is that these tracks are not abandoned at 1:46 you can see the silver top of the rail as the sun reflects off of it still pretty cool though

God bless America!

It's the fake Ely. Real Ely is in Great Britain

That’s cool riding along the tracks

Good you didn't try to remove the original electric board, that thing is definitely some silver painted asbestos.

Awesome piece of history

Suoer

WAS WAITING FOR WYLEE COYOTE TO COME OUIT THAT TUNNEL

That would be such fun :o)

has anyone made a solar powered cart? seems like you could make a roof over the top out of solar panels (helps protect from the sun too). Nice and quiet compared to the gas powered engines.

Estubo chido chido el paseo me sentí como polizonte.

One day I would love to do that with my John Deere tractor modify it for real use

Cool🤪

Loved your speeder and your video, gosh you are so lucky to have so many used lines here in Aussie it seams as soon as they finish with them they pull them for scrap :(
