I actually need to build a short (500 yard) railway at some point in the next few years. Disease is spreading into my ash woodland and a very large amount of timber needs to be harvested before it dies. It’s the excuse I need to have a site railway.

Why is this here? It is a sales link to an e-Book.

This one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbTQoFjOAdM looks like something simple enough that you could maybe sell it to families? Like, instead of installing a playground, install this coaster.
I'm not sure what the safety/liability situation would be like, but the coaster is close to the ground—if the child wears a helmet I don't think this would be more dangerous than a set of swing set or jungle gym?

Using plastic pipes you can get at any home improvement store for the track is pretty smart. It's all very approachable; you don't need any expensive tools to build one.

This seems like the type of thing that could be a liability nightmare. If my child told me someone in the neighborhood had built a backyard roller coaster, I would forbid them to ride it.

I misread that as backward roller coaster. That'd be fun.
