A train enthusiast's dream come true!

I found a YouTube channel featuring train enthusiasts building their own narrow-gauge railway line, very interesting.

Loved the video and downloaded it. Our family has 100 acre farm, that consists of feilds (of course) wooded patches and 3 streams. My dad and I often talked about laying a loop through the farm, but it never got beyond arm chair engineering. A LOT of money for grading, ties and rail to realistically go nowhere! Thanks for sharing.

Wow. 3ft gauge is getting into serious railroading.
I've yearned to do something in 7.25" or 15" gauge but it's not cheap. Even with those smaller sizes you need to pay strong attention to the weights of cars when dealing with grades or bridges.

Yeah, you really wouldn't be going anywhere, but wouldn't that be so much fun!?

I often think about that. It would, but for how long? Either an out-and-back or loop. After a short time it probably would be about as much fun as mowing the gas on a riding mower towing a lawn cart...lol
