neat caboose very close colors to the 70. what is it in for? good luck fixing it up Aaron.

Thanks!

Your MOW crew need to get that ROW mowed before a bad wreck happens so you can avoid a bad derailment and get sued for causing property damage

Do you have track going all the way to the garage( shop) yet? To work on things and not have to lift and move them ....

Love the shot at 1:42, those weeds look so cool with the train like that.

I like the van in toe looks good same paint scheme ( van is canadian for caboose)

Now in the Mill 4:31 brook car Shops .....ISN'T A POLICY ON MILLBROOK TO..........."FULLY TEST ALL REPAIRS ..."***** for six months. Where it states in "Millbrook RAILWAYS operations manuals. "All repairs to "..CABOOSES:....AND OTHER ROLLING STOCK" THAT MILLBROOK HAS TO COUPLE ALL ROLLING STOCK IN ONE LONG TRAIN "WITH THE REPAIR CABOOSE BEHIND.......(PLEASE INCLUDE..."FLASHING RED FREDDY.."")😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤...LOL😊

Track crew needs to get to know, don't you think 😅

Very cool caboose! Looks like Spring has taken over the Mill Brook.

Even hens chase it....

So cool to see Ossipee caboose...euh.. i mean MILB RR caboose back in service after years of idleness. Like that grassy branchline look. It doesn´t seem to interfere with trains. In fact it will cushion when something fed up of running decide to kiss ballast and ties... as long as it stays grass and not "bush" type of vegetation. Since you probably hadn´t time to play grass killing, you save time & money. I don´t think they´re will be a huge impact on ties life. Just be sure there´s NO poison ivy ! Every year i hunt them to see they´re back in 30 feet range next year. Only seedings of the year get killed. People will complaint about Round Up, well i found a stronger commercial grade. At 240 $ a jar, i´ll see results next year. In the meantime they get dark brown/black in less than 12 hours. For those than don´t know those beasts, they´re queen of embush and camouflage. The ramping type among stawberries, bush, i don´t have, and vines that climb on poles, trees among virginia creepers. Even if they play in light or dark green, dull or shiny, they roughly look like strawsberries and more like rasperries. Sometimes really hard to see who is who. Rasperries have spiked all along their stem, even tiny ones. Poison ivy have none. Last year i couldn´t search everywhere, too many grown trees fell on the ground. Without that yearly chase, some spot have car size this year ! It´s the ONLY vegetation i try to get rid off. Like too much nature but when they grown even against the house, thanks to birds poop, and having cats that go everywhere, i´m fed up like you have no idea. Last year i got it on ankles and lower legs and still have skin scars ! And i´m sure i wasn´t in contact with it. I never goes in tall grass without long scrutining while walking. Sorry for that long bla bla. They also like the forest frontier with grassy bushy field. Hope it will be useful. Thanks Aaron for that old time train when caboose marked the end.

You can transform the tank car into a weed sprayer and spray the weeds on the tracks

this is so cool!!! Been watching for quite some time and never get tired of it. What an accomplishment!!! Also, thanks for sharing this with us, appreciate it very much!!!

Lovely video work, made better with just the train and no people. The railway looks great with all the vegetation, although I'm guessing you might want to get rid of the stuff in the middle of the track. Keep up the good work. 😎

Cool! What are you having to repair on it? I'm thinking you need to make one of those for yourself! Looks really good behind the 70.

for rail ties i mean

hey guys am i right in assuming that you are using treated pine

I thought you guys were closing this railroad.

Enjoying the Tree Saga. 👍 Can any of the wood be used for anything or is it just fire wood?

It's Vinegar Season again. If you know you know. Lol

Legend says Aaron still boring it.... No i´m teasing you and joking. On my riding car, wheels are perfect in one direction. In the opposite there is a clic clic sound. There is a defect that i can´t see. Not prone to derailment, just annoying. Since we run 95 % of the time forward, i put the trucks in "good position" , then i´m fine. I still wonder what´s the imperfection. So much work explain the difference of price betwen finished and unfinished wheels. "Just drill a hole in the center for the axle" is as we can see not so easy. Thanks Aaron for your patience and happy 4th of july celebration. Any train run with champagne (or whatever) to cheers it ?

why not just test it with a axle been placed in the bore

I just read something about using rock salt to kill weeds. Vinegar kills the top but not the roots. I realized rock salt would not be great for the ties. Maybe a test along the sides? It said to just sprinkle it around. Not table salt.

Why not through the branches over the embankment? Would help with dirt erosion.

Working hard there. Nice fire wood for the 4th of July. Tree service my cousins son works for had been very busy around Pittsburgh PA with bad storms and torandos. Have a great holiday!

Someone who works on thw 12" scale playing with trains for a hobby is like a CAD designer 3D proinging for a hobby.

with all the potential logging work to be had, might the Millbrook RR look into acquiring <building> a set of logging Buggies <Skeleton Cars> to move logs from where they lay to a prep area.

All they need is a Barnhart Loader and a Class A climax or shay, and the log loading could be ANYWHERE in the eastern US from roughly 1880 to 1900

Looks like some weed wacking and weed spraying needs to be done 😂

Mill Brook & Thunder Railroad

Looking at the flatcar the plants on the left are they weeds or jerusalem artichokes.A lady friend used to grow the latter her late husband had stomach cancer and the cooked vegetable was the only food he could keep down near the end.

Gosh Could Millbrook install on top of the roof of their engines a SOLAR POWER CAR BATTERY CHARGING MAINTAINER FOR THOSEHEAVY "VERMONT PELLETS COMPANY HEAVY UNIT TRAINS THEY GIVE TO MILLBROOK TO HAUL ...?😊😅😮😢🎉😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh You ever use those solar Car batteries maintainer located on top of Millbrook engine house ...and a small windmill to also Charge #70 batteries...Now you can say "ON THE "OFF GRID "!**MILLBROOK RAILWAYS ""THE ENGINE CREWS RUN THEIR ENIROMENTLY FRIENDLY TRAINS "😊😊😊😊😊

The fun thing about watching the MILLBROOK IS ITS A WORKING SHORTLINES......😊😅😮😢😂❤

he's not spinning on wet rails, he's looking at his phone, instead of paying attention to what he's doing. Good thing he's not on the highway

After watching a few videos of trains doing "fun-time" (CP 2816, Reading & Northern 2102), earlier this morning, its nice to see one actually doing some real work, even in inclement weather!

What’s your source for those couplers?

I like the looks with the steps and hand rail

I am certainly no expert. I once built some airplane parts for my expiermental airplane (that I no longer have). I drilled to an undersize below 3/4 inch and then used a reamer to take the hole to size. Would that method work here?

great move of the debris, wet rails stink without sanders! feathering the throttle to keep it rolling! I like your camo technique “out of site, out of mind! “ unload it when the rain stops.

I think I would have indicated z just to check before boring since you were right there.

thats what you call a boring good time

Next up, how i flush my toilet.

Another useless video. Go get a life.

The footplates of the blue one look quite dangerous...

Just noticed the tread of that wheel seems rather narrow. This brings up the thought of seeing some of your wheels appearing to drop into some frog gaps, causing me to question if your wheel profiles are on spec.

I must say a very well rounded video!
