Trash To Trackless Train Part 3

The trackless barrel train has been completed. Pulled by the Murray widebody lawn tractor that had been sitting in the weeds for years. The $10 barrels have been converted into train cars. A dilapidated garden cart has new life as our two seater caboose. Part 1,2 and 3 of the train build are available to see on this channel.

Very good job. Nice to see the whole family involved. I built a barrel train about three years ago for the kids in the neighborhood as a Christmas train ride. I made the riding mower into a locomotive. I took the hood off and cut a plastic barrel to look like the boiler of an older train. I made a train whistle out of 3/4" pvc pipe. I would like to send you my pics of my train. How can I send you the pictures? Thanks. Ken

Split some rubber hose and slip it around the opening you cut with a little adhesive works good to get rid of a sharp edge.

I built 6 of these one time to pull kids around at community day in my old town. A good tip is to get some pool noodles and cut a slit all the way down half way through the noodle and use it as a sleve for the hole where the kid sits. Drill a small hole and use zip ties to hold the noodles to the barrel. Makes it a little more colorful too.

Use pool noodles on the edges of the barrels you cut

Use a spring for a pigs tail and glue on some button eyes.

You need a John deer tractor to keep with the animal theme

Since you gotten this far on it. I'd like to see the train done with
the old steam engine of the 1800s. Kinda like you'd see in a mall.

Wil the Murray tractor still cut grass as well (refurbish/rebuild the deck and install it for mowing)?
