This was so much fun to watch-I really enjoyed this. Thank you! It’s a really cool idea. It’s actually quite a smart application. Friends of ours live in a side-split home and have a similar crawl space. They use it as a cold room for storing preserves and similar things. Like yours, it’s a pain to get into and out of. Our previous home was of an age that predated full height basements which rendered the space equally “challenging”. I can easily see how something like this would be quite practical. Thanks for the links to the parts you used.
Wonderful! And you are delightful! Also, LOVE the elevator! Originally came to this site to view the MF Christmas video, but found this gem. Was delighted to find you’re in Skokie, where I am from. Thanks so much!
There are other 7½” gauge systems out there, but the very slow top speed and the need for frequent recharging makes it impractical to cover any distance.
Wonderful! Got a problem, come up with a solution that gets the job done and creates fun as well. If your have never seen the following, you might enjoy it. "The man with 1,000 Klein Bottles UNDER his house - Numberphile" Thanks for the video.
This video brought me joy in ways I cannot describe.
Coming from someone who wanted to build a backyard railroad for years now I love the "Skokie Slow" LOL! So cool!!
This is really cool, I have never seen anything like this. Great job, I might try to make a line like this one day.
I think you are clever and you really put your skills and creativity to go use. That looks so useful!

Sweet idea
Now this gives me some VERY dangerous ideas, I already have piles of 2ft mining equipment laying around
That was quite the interesting video. Quite the ingenuity to build all that!

That made my day! Alas, I have to stick to O scale for my traction fix.
Fantastic railroad! Great video with fun effects.
This is awesome.
Any chance there are other garden railroads that share a common gauge so you could run it on a bit more track?

Fabulous
