  • Today, we take a quick visit to Bill Banta's Stoddard Hill Farm Railway and look at his fantastic new ballast tipple. Then we head into the shop and see the CNC mill hard at work, making bolsters for the Shady Pines Railroad.

    So how many Cu Ft of stone will fit in there? That will be such of an advantage
    for laying ballast for the tracks with considerable less ‘ hand “ work, use the bucket
    to fill, then the ballast cars to spread, but still need to tamp it down by hand.
    that is just an amazing idea and set up. love that CNC mill good tools, make tasks
    so much easier to complete. great video, thank you for all your efforts! barry

    VERY cool! After watching your previous ballasting video there, I wondered if he would create some sort of hopper/loader. That will be even more handy if he ends up buying a few more of those ballast cars :)

    Any chance of seeing a track plack for Stoddard Hill? It looks like it would be interesting to see.

    I guess my suggestion came to fruition.

    Huh, I just watched the first video with the tipper cars, and was thinking he'd need one of those to load them faster. lol

    Gosh that hopper is impressive, Bill seems to have this great brain and enables him to 'build stuff' that works for him, and his railway, what a man he is, what a railroad he has,

    NICE! can't wait to see a video where you're putting the thing to work and fill up the cars with rocks.
    it might be interesting getting the doors closed while it still has rocks in it, but, it should fill cars like no tomorrow.
    SWEET!!!!!
    keep on keepin' on my friend.

    i seen your video od the ES-2-500 and was wanting to suggest a UK class 08 as a next project and you could but a bigger motor in it and it would be neat and you could just makei t with the American nuckles and not the uk buffers and all that and i only could ever find 1 video on one

    I was gonna say you need a hopper of some kind but this works aswell
    Question : has a runaway ever happened yet?
    Like a wagon or two

    Now he just needs a conveyor pit and conveyor to load it.
