Train wheels don't rely on the flanges much. They rely on being tapered so the whole vehicle self centres. It also works as a differential for corners.

Need conical wheels, they will keep you on track without the flanges rubbing constantly, the flanges are mainly to prevent derailing from turns and bumps. It will also reduce the stress on the wheels. Your best bet is probably to either weld some cones and the support structures or buy the specially made wheels. If you somehow got a hold of 4 of the right type of rims, you could cut them in half and they'd be pretty easy to mount. Some cheap go-kart rims would work.

@@RadzPrower I did some minor research using context clues from the video to figure out where they started, which was from Dos Cabezas, maps.app.goo.gl/BKNF2Cxmc7vzX2k4A. (At 10:19 you can see the water tower and track switch in the background). From there they headed two miles in the opposite direction from the water tower, so roughly North-West. Their journey ended roughly here at the Goat Canyon Trestle Bridge Parking, maps.app.goo.gl/ULkeTEJnPb2YeMnu7. And indeed there are no significant turns on that route, only minor curves. The real challenge would have come a bit further up the track with a significant almost 180 degree curve

Ya know, they sell train cart wheels for way cheaper than that, even without switching to polyurethane. 3 minutes of searching, and I found a set some for $26 a pop on Zoro Select, and sets of 4 for a similar price elsewhere. I think you could redo this project with proper train wheels for less than the cost of replacing the engine. This is an awesome project, and it would be a shame to give up, when you're so close to success! One other idea: you could easily incorporate some friction brakes, applied either directly to the wheels, or to the track. One final thing to mention: it probably wouldn't be extremely difficult to devise a "reverse gear," if you switched from a chain to a tensionable belt-based system.
@alden11324 ай бұрын
I agree with the tension belts, but I also think more complexity probably isn't the thing you want many miles from help, in the desert especially. +1 to Train wheels though. Even the $200 ones are cheaper than doing all that work when you value your own time.
@1SweetPete4 ай бұрын
Also, train wheels have a specific geometry that keeps them on the track using a solid axle and mirrored bevels on them. The flange on the outside it just a safety in case something goes wrong with the wheels tracking.
@FeedMeAQuarter4 ай бұрын
@@1SweetPete I agree about added complexity being liability, especially in a remote, inhospitable environment, but part of the appeal of the idea I mentioned that I didn't expound upon is the ease of repair of such a system. A belt is easier to replace than a gear chain, and you can carry multiple sets with basically no extra weight. Hell, a leather belt could be used in a pinch in most such set-ups. Also, with the right set of belts, you can cut entire sections of the drive-train out if they give you problems. I've seen "bamboo carts" that use a similar idea that can be completely dismantled and removed from the track in SECONDS, axles, platform and engine in separate pieces, with a slip on belt. It's reduced complexity, when you take into account chains and adjusting tension.

If you would like to try this again, I will give you a bit of info, train wheels aren't actually designed that way. There is a slight curve between the riding part of the wheel, and the flange. meaning it can navigate curves easier. the best thing to do is to rebuild the wheels entirely, because even without the broken wheels, it would have been very hard to navigate the curved without banging them up. If you need more context on wheel designs, search up a picture of railroad wheels and you will see what I mean.

Yes, definitely do this again. TIP: I noticed you were using cylindrical wheels (bc they’re cheaper ik) but that might be why they broke down so easily. If you git conical wheels it’ll be more stable on the track. Just look up a youtube video of why train wheels aren’t flat.

For the next try, train cart wheels actually have a bit smaller diameter on the outside-most part of the cart. this reduces the wear and tear on the cart wheels greatly, as the cart just cradles side to side, which helps it navigate turns with lower pressure and pull on the bolted parts of the wheels. Or you should just put more engines.

Train wheels don't rely on the flanges much. They rely on being tapered so the whole vehicle self centres. It also works as a differential for corners.
Yes 👍 those flat wheels are no good
It might be better described as a limited slip differential. Too much corner (like a spiral) could stop it being very effective.
My first thought the second I saw those wheels. Might work okay in a straight line. The second you come to a bend, though...
So much knowlege 😂
second this, I was trying to find a way to communicate this also.
I love that someone else was out there doing the same thing! I kind of wish this could become a whole industry for people who wanna chill and see some cool scenery.
It will, this is like the 3rd video to come up on my feed in the past few months of people riding on homemade carts on abandoned tracks. Give it a few years and I bet this stretch of track will be full of DIYer's fighting for track space on their little go cart trains.
Imagine people throwing miniature steam engines on their carts. That would be so coal
In Belgium we have something like that, 14 km (8.70 mi) of abandoned railway and small karts. But no engine, it's pedal powered !
It's illegal
Finding another group of people who also built a go-cart train wearing top hats is the greatest plot twist ever 😂
They found the higher level players 😂
You definitely have to try this again!! Still one of the most entertaining stories, even though it didn’t turn out as expected 🔥
no replies?

Absolutely agree, I gotta see more of this awesome adventure!
Yes!!!
wow verified
Need conical wheels, they will keep you on track without the flanges rubbing constantly, the flanges are mainly to prevent derailing from turns and bumps. It will also reduce the stress on the wheels. Your best bet is probably to either weld some cones and the support structures or buy the specially made wheels. If you somehow got a hold of 4 of the right type of rims, you could cut them in half and they'd be pretty easy to mount. Some cheap go-kart rims would work.
Yeah, I expected that to be a problem when they tried to turn, but the way the video is cut, I'm not sure they ever even made it to a significant turn.
i can't believe guy that wasted so much time didn't google or watch single 10 minute long video how train wheels work, he could make just long cones and not worry about track gauge
Or just buy railbike wheels?
@@Blabus5 Or ensure the difference between 56 inches OD or ID....
@@RadzPrower I did some minor research using context clues from the video to figure out where they started, which was from Dos Cabezas, maps.app.goo.gl/BKNF2Cxmc7vzX2k4A. (At 10:19 you can see the water tower and track switch in the background). From there they headed two miles in the opposite direction from the water tower, so roughly North-West. Their journey ended roughly here at the Goat Canyon Trestle Bridge Parking, maps.app.goo.gl/ULkeTEJnPb2YeMnu7. And indeed there are no significant turns on that route, only minor curves. The real challenge would have come a bit further up the track with a significant almost 180 degree curve
Railway wheels have a conical profile to counter centrifugal forces at turns. Also it helps with improve the stability and tendency for the wheels to oscillate. Maybe worth considering next time.
Railway wheels have a conical profile that acts like differential gear in a car when cornering the taper compensates the wheel speed on a fixed axle
Right, train wheel designs are qualified to be used on train tracks…kinda like how certain submarines are designed and built within standard specifications.

lmk if you need help building it haha
I feel my knowledge of engineering is way more advanced than I previously thought
Having no solder experience nor heavy tools and absolutely ZERO workshop, I still want to make a railbike from an old bike to bike some good old railroads around here, possible with a motor attached ... Guys like you give me hope though. And inspiration! Thanks!
Ya know, they sell train cart wheels for way cheaper than that, even without switching to polyurethane. 3 minutes of searching, and I found a set some for $26 a pop on Zoro Select, and sets of 4 for a similar price elsewhere. I think you could redo this project with proper train wheels for less than the cost of replacing the engine. This is an awesome project, and it would be a shame to give up, when you're so close to success! One other idea: you could easily incorporate some friction brakes, applied either directly to the wheels, or to the track. One final thing to mention: it probably wouldn't be extremely difficult to devise a "reverse gear," if you switched from a chain to a tensionable belt-based system.
I agree with the tension belts, but I also think more complexity probably isn't the thing you want many miles from help, in the desert especially. +1 to Train wheels though. Even the $200 ones are cheaper than doing all that work when you value your own time.
Also, train wheels have a specific geometry that keeps them on the track using a solid axle and mirrored bevels on them. The flange on the outside it just a safety in case something goes wrong with the wheels tracking.
@@1SweetPete I agree about added complexity being liability, especially in a remote, inhospitable environment, but part of the appeal of the idea I mentioned that I didn't expound upon is the ease of repair of such a system. A belt is easier to replace than a gear chain, and you can carry multiple sets with basically no extra weight. Hell, a leather belt could be used in a pinch in most such set-ups. Also, with the right set of belts, you can cut entire sections of the drive-train out if they give you problems. I've seen "bamboo carts" that use a similar idea that can be completely dismantled and removed from the track in SECONDS, axles, platform and engine in separate pieces, with a slip on belt. It's reduced complexity, when you take into account chains and adjusting tension.
@@FeedMeAQuarter Indeed. The beveled wheels and flange were critical to making modern trains safe and workable. There's a lot of theory behind such a seemingly simple concept.
honestly for what its worth i feel like they could even just make some wheels out of some scrap plywood and patience, as long as its round and vaguely in a trail wheel shape (and not made out of what appears to be the crappiest cast metal available...)

13:41 I've said this before and I'll say it again. THIS IS WHY I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS! Even though you didn't succeed the goal, you uploaded the video. Other KZheadrs *_only_* upload their successes, so the moment you hit play, there's no suspense. But with your videos, I never know if you'll make it or not!! Which makes the ones you do succeed, that much sweeter. Take care buddy! Looking forward to the next video!
And yes, I want to see a part 2!!! ( I'm saying this in a reply so people who read the comments before/while watching the video, don't know the outcome )
If you would like to try this again, I will give you a bit of info, train wheels aren't actually designed that way. There is a slight curve between the riding part of the wheel, and the flange. meaning it can navigate curves easier. the best thing to do is to rebuild the wheels entirely, because even without the broken wheels, it would have been very hard to navigate the curved without banging them up. If you need more context on wheel designs, search up a picture of railroad wheels and you will see what I mean.
the wheels failed because they are cast pot petal.
Agreed the wheels need a "V" shape to be self centering and not risk jumping the track along curves
@scientificuppercut yeh but even if they hadn't failed like that, without the proper design he would never have made it past any curves and turns
I’m a locomotive engineer and thought this was great. The “off-roading” wasn’t bad either. Great job!
Do it again! I'm into trains, and I've seen these types of videos, so I really want you to see this in person. Even though I live in Canada, I still have the internet to see it.😊❤

I saw a guy do this 2 years ago (the name of yt is whydotas)
Trains are made entirely with metal for a reason. Friction and vibration will shake apart any materials less dense/hard than the tracks. Fun though.
You are livin your best life for all of us other dudes.... doin' dumb (ie fun) sh*t and havin a blast. never stop doing this!
that is amazing. A very bit of advice, train wheels are conic for a good reason. If you want to go faster without issues, is a must. I wish you a lot of fun!
"A lot of it felt like adult LEGOs, like just connecting things to other things," that... that is engineering in a nutshell.
not for the engineer who engineers the parts itself😄
It's creative play in a nutshell. Engineering is a science. You need both to make something that works.
That was so wholesome. Made me smile all the way through.
Bro. When I was a kid, like over 20 years ago, this is the one thing I wanted to do. This is so awesome to see someone bring this dream to life
One thing you could have done to improve the wheels to keep centered.. is to make it them conically shaped so that they will move themselves towards the center when they wander off, or you come a cross a curve.

the sponsor part was so awesome! It's the first time I didn't cringe when watching a sponsor-message. Good Job Dude! :)
bro that ad placement was prime
You care about the railroads more than the railroad companies themselves. That's pretty nice, I mean they abandoned them but you reutilized them.
Bro! That was actually so fun!! You definitely need to do another one.
Okay holy dang. You and I are newly instagram pals but I hadn't watched a full one of your videos until now. I have a best bud who I go build natural dams with and drink beverages. Some kind of obsession with scouting great stream locations, altering the ecosystem, shooting for the highest water level differential before it gets dark, before ultimately destroying our dam so we don't actually ruin too much of the earth. This video seems to have that energy and now I'm gonna go watch the rest of your entire catalog, thanks, very great, goood job.
Alright this is the first video of yours I've come across. I came for the train track go-kart, I'm staying and returning for the custom songs. Keep up the great work!
the only thing that would make this better for a basic working machine is to make the wheels conical in shape. this would allow it to dynamically adjust and travel around bends/curves much smoother. even if it's DIY for them to reach said shape, it would be much better than the setup used for the wheels here.
We have a lot of that here in the Philippines. It's one of the transportation of people near our railroads, we've been using that for decades now. We also have a lot of abandoned railways.Yours are a bit modern.
An amazing piece of content to wrap up a wild year! Great work man - can’t wait to see what you hatch up for 2024!
how sick would it be to see them collab with those guardian strangers on making a double connected cart to go see the bridge? :D
There are a lot of folks who rattle through pretending to know what they are doing on here. This however was so great to watch. Seemed like the out of the box gearing worked great
amazing talent. the major 7th 2 chord riff with autotune and close harmony vocal explaining what had happened was amazing funny. the shopify commercial was sublime. you're engaging the audience in all areas. wow. i love youtube.
I really hope the next time you do a project, you remember the time you lost an entire day because you refused to find a set of railroad tracks near your house to slap a tape measure on.

Awesome idea. Rail is almost zero rolling resistance, super efficient. Can you source an old railroad handcar? Big strong platform and wheels. Add the electric motor and the platform is so solid I bet it could take a couple of comfy armchairs and you'll have a great little transporter !!!!

It was annoying. 15 minute video to not even get halfway to the bridge. They could have at least walked
KZhead has a problem as the video documents a felony crime now classified as domestic terrorism by Homeland Security. It is felony trespass and interfering with transportation. Clearly the line isn't in service and it should be fine but the federal government doesn't have a sense of humor. The video can get KZhead into legal trouble and the creator put in prison. It is a stupid situation, but pirating the rails is highly illegal.
Trending? For what? A dude made something that had at least 10 different things wrong with it from the start.
