I have been waiching your videos for a while now and have become an addict. My scale is '0', 32mm. I am in the Cornwall area of GB, and am creating 1930;s GWR in the garden which runs from one shed to another via about 60 feet of track. Wonderful watching your MLBK RR, with its trials and tribulations. Keep up the good work and am looking forward to seeing the main line extension get track laid. Regards, Paul.
Thanks! You may be interested to know that a major influence of the way the MLBK was built and operates is Sir Arthur Percival Heywood's Duffield Bank Railway. I also have an affinity for God's Wonderful Railway. Sadly, now Gone With Regret. Anything GWR is cool. I bet your 60 feet is a well detailed Garden Wilderness Railway. Cheers!
I was thinking of your comment when I was at a friend's track and there was a big cut of cars waiting to be pulled. ua-cam.com/video/SVG0Tg9_Nvg/v-deo.html
Yes! My favorite, the tankcar in view! With the rest, a proper freight train is starting to grow. Nice! Need a boxcar though. (Tuff Stuff products. LOL)
Actually, if your friend with the blue switcher added a bit of black and white to it in the proper areas along with the road name logos it could easily become a very credible Boston & Maine themed unit!
I'm loving this. Just wish I had the real estate and money to do my own. Trouble is I'd want to have a couple of tons of DM&IR M4. Great video, liked it much!
with all the new-to-you rolling stock on hand, seems some quality track upgrading might be in order. lengthened sidings being one item. with 2-3 Flatcars, 3 Gon's, 2-3 total hoppers, Tank Car, Caboose & Spreader/plow. that's quite the train! especially for #70 and only 2 axles for tractive effort. I would gather the potential for a larger locomotive of 4-6 powered axles may be increasing?
Got to remember, if the funds are available, you will have a streamer running that should have some nice tractive effort to get cars over the 3.5% grade!
Glad to see the woodchuck runs second track coming closer to the bridge. I still think you should use a left switch to make it a junction. If you want a dedicated siding there, add a third line for storage. It sounded like you guys were broadcasting from Puntington, VT. They sure messed with my descriptive closed captioning. So much so I had to watch it twice in order to catch the real conversation.
I like your ant joke! big carpenter ants on the rails. the vines are very invasive and such a pain how they drop runners is worse! they kill trees too, by shading out the leaves. It would not be the Mill Brook w/o a derailment ! it is the little things that cause issues.
As I watch a view of the longer consist trundling out of the siding, a question comes to mind: Do roller-bearing journals exist in that scale, or is it exclusively solid bearing trucks?
I can get you place in the uk where I live they do great jobs and can do it I sent my 2-6-2 steam locomotive that is the same gauge as the mailbrook and came out better then ever and better than brand new unfortunately that locomotive is not around today due to a crash while visiting the train crashed on a bridge when it was ramped from the sending a 2 cars into the river below the people on the cars where hurt one unfortunately didn’t make it out as he hit his head and broke 4 bones on the rocks and was sold to the Bentley light railway museum where it is on display to this day in my mind I think it would be a great loco for the mailbrook do you think that they would be a great loco for your railroad?
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. A 2-6-2 might be a good loco for the Mill Brook. I'm going to focus on the Mogul for now. She's got a proper English copper boiler. The rest of the loco was made in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
I’d be real careful about grabbing those ties with my bare hands after they’ve been out in the elements for any length of time. Spiders, snakes, scorpions, ticks, and ants love to make homes out of them! I’d poke it with one of those lengths of rail, then spritz it with bug spray. If nothing crawls out after a few minutes, then grab ‘em. I’d hate to see you laid up in the hospital for a nasty envenomation. Ouch! 😬
We don't have any venomous creatures here to worry about. No scorpions, no venomous snakes, no fire ants, and you have to try really hard to get bit by a spider.

I like how the camera fell over the 2nd Time and it cut to an ad LOL
Getting closer to completing that siding! Can't wait to see it tied back into the main past the bridge.
I'm eager to see it, as well. It'll get there eventually.
no matter the scale, railroading is always more enjoyable with friends
Very true.
I first started watching your Chanel when you installed the bridge on the wood Chuck siding.
Your growing your rr nicely with more cars! Nice to see a longer train moving. Siding work interesting to see. ❤
You don't have to be certified, just certifiable. 😂
Very true.
Great work guys
Good god, they're making hyce references 😂 Love the work video!
If I didn't live 3K miles away, I'd be right there volunteering to work on the railroad! 🙂
You haven't lived until you've played "Chicken" with a *real* chicken ! :P
You guys have wonderful senses of humour ! Those puns were incorrigible !
GREAT JOB WITH THE “WORKING” RAILROAD CREW! 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
We'd probably have this much fun with any size railroad.
That's a long train, didn't even know the 70 could pull that. Keep up the great work on those tracks!
I was thinking of your comment when I was at a friend's track and there was a big cut of cars waiting to be pulled. ua-cam.com/video/SVG0Tg9_Nvg/v-deo.html
Ya all had a laugh so must'a been a great day bro. Safe travels. Ken.
That is the first time in quite a while that I have seen that weed spraying car move
I've seen it move quite a bit.
Uh-oh! Those oversize mismatched KADEE couplers😲😱❗
Yes! My favorite, the tankcar in view! With the rest, a proper freight train is starting to grow. Nice! Need a boxcar though. (Tuff Stuff products. LOL)
Great video. :)
Great whaiting for the siding finish

Good work, great crew! Fun to watch! Thanks for taking us along. Be well, be safe!
Thanks!
(@31:00) Now you need a 7-1/4” gauge ballast grader. 😊
All in good time.
Nice!
This is such a nice little railroad, i love seeing all the progress in each video. All you need now is a boxcar or two and youll have a proper train
A box car would be nice, but you know what would be really cool? A Refrigerator car. Perfect for holding cold drinks.
@@MillBrookRailroad Tropicana juice cars as an homage to the South?
I love watching the progress of your RR and the joy it brings you.
Thanks!

It's not going to build itself.
...Or, in the words of Peter Gabriel, "You can have a steam train if you just lay down your track."

My budget isn't big enough for a 4 axle loco right now. At this point, I think I'll just build another little critter or two.

You have Google's A.I. to thank for the stellar closed captions.
@@MillBrookRailroad Auto smell gets. Me like crazy.
looking good! :)

Why don’t you use a string to keep your track stride? I enjoyed watching the work and the fixes. Thanks
Stretch a mason's line to grade the ballast and align the track to the bridge.
Should have double headed the haul up the 3.5% grade! Would have been good to see.
Didn't think of that.
Thanks for the video
That blue engine could use some blue stripes
You guys are having too much fun and not enough to laying track.
Fun is half the reason we do all this! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Time for you to build a bo-bo or co-co wheel arrangement locomotive to tackle the grades.
Not quite yet, but that time is getting closer.
As I watch a view of the longer consist trundling out of the siding, a question comes to mind:
Do roller-bearing journals exist in that scale, or is it exclusively solid bearing trucks?
They're all roller bearing and ball bearing except the plow, which is plain bearings.
Be fun to set a lounge chair on a flat caŕ and take naps and rides onn the "SLEEPER CARS "!!!!❤❤❤😂😮😮😮😮😮😮
What was the acoustic used at 13:25? Sounded like a full body dreadnought with bronze strings.
It's a full body 6 string dreadnought with nickel strings. A special set called Nashville Lights.
Have you thought about adding a dome and ladder to the tank car. Just curious.
I have thought about a ladder and a dome and more details. I just haven't done it yet.
@@MillBrookRailroad It would be interesting if you stenciled Conoco down the side also!
14:14 mopac blue
Oh my, at 25:36 there's actually about two inches between the couplers after it got disconnected...
I noticed that in editing.
Try to catch me, said the flatcar 😂
Blue needs a Z stripe
How are are the things from the ossipe centrel doing?
We're pulling the track up near the end of September. Expect a video a week or two after that.

many hands make light work lol
I see an opportunity for some signals in the near future! Do you have any interest in that?
I have some signal heads. It's one more thing to put on the list.
@@MillBrookRailroad I'd be interested in participating. What do your signal heads look like? How are they connected electrically?
@SD40Fan_Jason They are 2 light heads. They will fit 20mm LED'S. The plan is to use 12V track circuits.
9:52 - How did I miss that joke?!
They go by pretty fast.
What gauge is that ?
We have 7-1/2 inch gauge track, but all the equipment is 7-1/4 inch gauge.
Could you rig up a horn for your locos, then the chickens would have to get off the tracks. 🤔😂😂😂😂🐓🐓🐓🐓👍❤️📹😁
I could. I just haven't yet.
In progress for the blue locomotive! Adding a DCC decoder for horn and bell sounds, plus a standard car horn on a toggle for extra attention!
And anymore news of 662 I think?
I'm trying to find a radiator shop where I can have the boiler cleaned inside and out.
