Last summer, I build this wooden rail kart from scratch. Its powered by a 8HP briggs and stratton engine. The power is transmitted to the wheels by a selfmade transmission with parts from a lawn tror. It can go up to 50km/h (31mph), the speed is not limited by the engines power but by the weakness of the wooden base. (it starts to vibrate quite alot around 50 km/h).\r<br>The 20km long railway has been abandoned for more than 10 years and is quite steep for a railroad. The maximum steepness is 20mm/m (2%) but it is often close to 10mm/m (1.5%) \r<br>Fun f:\r<br>The last train that drove on this railroad never got to the train station, as the modern passenger train got stuck on the 20mm/m part of the tracks because of the wheels losing grip!\r<br>Click here for PART 2:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Click here to see a slideshow with some photos of my rail cart:\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Unfortunately, some people destroyed it and stole the valuable parts, there is not much left of it, only the wooden base and the seats. \r<br>\r<br>Rail cart\r<br>Rail Kart\r<br>Go kart\r<br>Trolley\r<br>Draisine\r<br>Railrunner\r<br>Railway\r<br>Rail Speeder
