The weeds at 7:32 give it an awesome feel, like a lightly used branch line but….traction issues. I love how your locomotives look like GE 70 tonners, it’s an iconic look that suits your railroad great.
Liked this train run with cargo. RIP chickens. We’ve got racoons here too. Deer were munching my flowers overnight. I live in town too!
The long lever re railer is the same in design we use at Moors Valley Railway, thankfully not as often though! After all lots of muscle and long lever built stonehenge. All the best from a fellow railroader.
Yippee!! Awkward freight runs!
Now i understand why you don´t like grassy track.
Thanks for that dimensional extra train😊
Remember that wide/tall loads should be properly secured. If clearance is an issue along the route chosen, use a depressed-center flatcar instead. Always use a railcar rated for the load to be carried. No batteries included. Warranty void if sticker removed. 😅
Looks like you should have sanded the rails. To help get through all that brush on the rails
A dimensional extra!
Neat!
I didn't want to see a derailment, but I did foresee one when you failed to clear the branch from the track. I tried to tell you but you didn't hear me.
Lots and lots of weeds. Time to get the RoundUp to work.
MBRR pulling a high & Wide special.
It happens a lot.
Ay first glance, I thought you had a MoW flat with an outhouse
No, you can't have Serenity now.
Narrow gauge skateboarding 😉👍
I've been considering a Castle Serenity to replace my propane stove. Have you had one before? Thanks.
@@avlisk No, but I've had Enviro Stove and US Stove Company stoves.
The weed whipping helped the railroad appearance.
I never seize to be amazed at the lengths you go to to NOT carry out essential maintenance of your railway which would make for more efficient running. The point in case is the effort to get past the weeds which prevented you from getting the Pellet Burner to the end of the line. It does make for very enjoyable viewing though. Cheers
It's not so much an intentional thing as it is a case of working three jobs. This video was filmed in July. You may start to notice a difference in the next video.
@@MillBrookRailroadwe already saw the trimming run.
Hey Aaron, I noticed in the past few videos that you seem to not be using the vinegar based weed killer this year. Did it cause problems with corrosion on the aluminum rails? Very sorry about the racoon getting your chickens! Good video, keep 'em coming! Take care!
@@danielfantino1714haha😅😂
Cut the guy some slack.
He's working multiple jobs, has a family, and is keeping up a homestead in the countryside. A full time job in itself.
Add maintaining a railroad on top of that. Be it 7+' or 56-1/2", it's more work than most understand.
It is a hobby. He's managed to use his hobby to make some of his chores less onerous. That deserves a hat tip right there!
He fights the fights all railroad engineering departments deal with, just on a smaller scale.
I had to move firewood with a wheelbarrow. I would have loved to use a miniature railroad to do it!
In the railroad scheme of things, this is a branch line or a short line.
Such operations don't have the traffic or the associated budgets to keep it up like the Northeast Corridor, the Powder River Basin, or the Alameda Corridor.
Managing a branch line with limited budgets will separate the men from the boys. Everything is easy when you have an unlimited budget and staff.
When the dollars for maintenance and capital budgets are lean, to be polite. It tends to focus you on the most immediate of needs. I don't care what gauge you operate.
A college professor once said in lecture,"The job of the engineer is to get the mostest from the leastest." In other words, maximize the value of his assets. Those assets can be financial or material.
I'd say he's doing a pretty decent job.
Regards
Hey Aaron. Sorry to hear about your chickens. We had a rabid raccoon in my old coop about 2 months ago. It was late at night, but I was awake and came running. Fired about 20 steel ball shots from my high powered crossbow, stunning it, giving me time to evacuate the chickens, then I drove him out with a long garden rake. I'm sure he died in the woods, never saw him again. Luckily, I didn't loose any chickens. Since then, I've built a larger, more secure coop and we added 6 more baby chicks.
How's the Plymouth coming along?
The Plymouth is done!
Will you be installing the new switch and finishing the siding back by the bridge this year?
I'd like to. We'll see how it goes.
raccoon’s “taking a dirt nap” where is the new pellet heater going to be located? replacing the old one?
raccoon's are nasty, damage causing, poop machines! I think they will kill chickens just for fun, and not eat them.
a neighbor lost all his layers in one night! that is when he gave up on the chickens and sold his coop.
friends of my family actually had a building with windows and locking door for his chickens.oh well good move
I could not believe the lifting of the rail at the switch as the 70 went by. Have a great day Aaron.
Raccoons do eat chickens. Anything those trash pandas don't eat will be eaten by foxes, coyotes, weasels, rats, and opossums. There is no insurance for predator attacks, either. It makes a person want to either go really big or just give up. I've run the numbers on going big. I think I'll focus on the railroad instead.
@@MillBrookRailroadYep those "free" eggs are nice but are eventually costly.

“Sounds like a plan to me! less chicken blockades! still sorry for your loss!
I feel sorry for the chickens. Not for the racoon (does make good music though ua-cam.com/video/koYMEDSYbRI/v-deo.html
Aaron-1, Trash Panda-0.
Did you have raccoon steak for dinner?
I think raccoon meat is best left for the coyotes.
@@MillBrookRailroad Fair enough. Maybe next time.
