you need conical wheels
-
Now you can make a third video with the conical wheels and we'll all be watching again.
-
The level of intricacy you put into plugging your shopify store is impressive. What gave it away was that the paper wasn't aged.
-
Everyone is saying “you need conical wheels” but the real answer is that you need both conical and flanged. If you look up images of train wheels you will see that they are slightly conical as they are the optimal shape for self steering on tracks, then they have flanges to keep them from derailing on sharper turns

My grandma once told me that the difference between ignorance and arrogance is when you know you’re making a mistake, you’ve been given ample opportunity to fix it yet you still carry on. This is you and the conical wheel

Life Tip: you can download a local map of an area to your phone so you can use GPS without cell signal. This is really useful if you know you are heading into a dead area.

19:40 BRO that is the best cinematic climax you could've made. Absolutely great match with Fix You by Coldplay. You NAILED it

I'm from New Zealand, and I've always wanted to visit this bridge. Its such a awesome structure, and heaps of history, for example that collapsed tunnel at the side of the bridge which is why it was built in the first place. A solid 10/10 for effort guys! Well done!

Railroader here. Okay so what i would recommend is getting wheels from an old hi rail truck or a push cart. Go to the local rail yard and ask around. Im sure if you show up with a decent bottle of whiskey im sure someone could hook ya up. They run about $1,3000 CAD brand new. So maybe a couple bottles. Scrap yards maybe? But id recommend something thats built specifically for that purpose.

not gonna lie, the most beautiful ending of a youtube video I have seen in years🤩
-
As an engineer and now a design architect I was rooting for you to make it the whole time....because it's so rare iteration V2 ever works so early on!!! Congratulations! It truly is a beautiful sight to see for an engineer!!!!
-
I am train Driver in Pakistan. All of the scenes in this video took my breath away....... Such a wonderful place to be on the rails......
-
Just search for steel rail cart wheels. There are plenty of options and they are not expensive. Your biggest design flaw after having the wrong wheels is that you didn't have a strong enough way to keep your wheel spacing from changing.

"And you my friend have no ceiling!" Best buddy ever. Where would we be without friends like Mo. Thanks Mo!

5:28 "Let see how you do UNDER PRESSURE!" Go-Kart: "Not well..."

Two of my girlfriends and I hiked this entire trail in Sept 2020, where two of the tunnels were closed off causing us to walk 22 miles that day instead of 12. It was 100+ degree weather that day also lol. watching you guys go through this trail gave me such nostalgia !
-
that cart has to be the single most half assed thing I've EVER seen.
-
How ironic is it that he only needed another bridge to get to the bridge.
-
If you can't find or afford railcart wheels, think about using the front wheel rims of a garden tractor or riding mower. They should ride over the rail with enough clearance to allow for the difference during the curves in the track. The noise can be dampened by wrapping the metal to metal contact area with rubber. Good luck.
