RRVT gas powered track speeder run by

[surrynet]

What places do you inspect where they have has small tracks?.

[coldblue9mm]

crazy man, just crazy....lol!

[LoisJAbel]

This may be the future of individual traffic!

[TheAZJacob]

This is sweet! Did you lay out the track or is it abondon track?

[ledzepplin12able]

Where did you get the track

How bigs is your railway

[mariner719]

There is a set of tracks in the Olympia area that I last walked (about 15 miles worth) from Olympia down to Littlerock, which obviously hadn't been used in quite some times (totally rusted rail surfaces). Before they get the very worthwhile idea to pull up the track for a rails-to-trails transformation, I wish I'd been able to build one of these speeders and taken a trip down those old, unused tracks.

[penguinmaster7]

we need those instead of cars.

[tracecyrusfan8]

COOL!

[pooled100]

wher is this

[robertgift]

Make it pedal-powered.

No engine noise, fuel waste and pollution.

What is this track for? How long?

Thank you.

[trainlover479]

its not fuel waist

[robertgift]

Waste.

Make it pedal-powered.

No engine noise, pollution, fuel waste.

And the rider gets fun exercise.

[trainlover479]

my god, eco noob shut up, gas is more efficent but i really like steam power better....

[robertgift]

I'd love steam, though it is the most inefficient there is.

But steam is fun and the sound is wonderful.

This is noisy and repulsive.

Much better is pedal or arm powered.

Exercise and quiet.

[trainlover479]

@robertgift to tell u the truth, i dont like deisiels, steam is more efficent then diesiels but eletric beats both, though it could be cool to have a mini hand car

[robertgift]

Muscle-power is MOST efficient!

Then electric, but difficulties storing it and providing electric power to vehicles.

Diesel is most efficient fueled vehicle.

Then gasoline.

Steam is last - very inefficient.

But the most fun and interesting.

[trainlover479]

@robertgift accually, when it comes to railroads, that is at the very bottom

[RCKTBOY7]

@trainlover479 Exactly. I hate those new environmentalist liberals.

[trainlover479]

@RCKTBOY7 Yah this guy doesnt know we are even talking locomotives! XD hes one of those people thinking they are more powerfull than a locomotive

[RCKTBOY7]

@trainlover479 Ain't that the truth! He also doesn't even realize that it uses a lawnmower engine! XD

[trainlover479]

@RCKTBOY7 A lawnmower engine? Thats sick, putting it to much beter use than cutting grass! LOL

[RCKTBOY7]

@trainlover479 I know! Well, at least it looks like a mower engine!

[trainlover479]

@robertgift Shut the fuck up, the whole railroad is for fun, oh and hope you get killed by a steam locomotive

[robertgift]

@trainlover479 Looks like fun! I could be killed by operating a steam locomotive - which I have done.

Those boilers can rupture with devastating results. Fortunately they are inspected and passed.

[trainlover479]

dude steam locomotives are much more fun and interesting than any other type of locomotive, they BUILT america for th elove of god!

[robertgift]

@trainlover479 Yes. They did build America and England and every other country.

Yes, far more fun than any other engine. Buterribly inefficient, polluting and require much maintenance

and stress track. Stillove them.

[trainlover479]

@robertgift Dude what if i told you steam does less polution than desiel? because its true...

[robertgift]

@trainlover479 As much as I love steam locomotives, as did my great uncle, a 4-8-4 steam locomotivengineer,

Dieselocomotives are FAR morefficient and less polluting than steam. If you could boil water with natural gas, that would make a huge difference. Steam would then be less polluting, though still terribly inefficient and a steam locomotive maintenance-intensive and stressful on track.

[blarrer20]

Track inspection? Reaaallllyyy.... ;)

[heartland96a]

clever little speeder

[asiaplayer1122]

Like a Coaster!

[arodi30]

Where is the RRVT....

[FlyBikes089]

Looks fun!

[junkman6261]

where do you get the tracks and wheels?

[donotreadthis23]

How long is the main line?

[danfoulk]

I guess it beats walking...

[CNW4145]

its 2 foot gauge

[barstool100]

Great Speeder. What is the Track Gage ??

BAR-STOOL

[cnw8052]

That's gotta be my favorite on the roster :)
