6:55 were empty right so yeah this one I add a little bit to look more like a

6:56 a little bit to look more like a

6:56 a little bit to look more like a locomotive the real one was pretty much

6:58 locomotive the real one was pretty much

6:58 locomotive the real one was pretty much plain people could ride inside of it so

7:01 plain people could ride inside of it so

7:01 plain people could ride inside of it so this one I had to gauge some piping to

7:04 this one I had to gauge some piping to

7:04 this one I had to gauge some piping to look like it it's not necessarily

7:06 look like it it's not necessarily

7:06 look like it it's not necessarily accurate but it you know gives it a look

7:07 accurate but it you know gives it a look

7:07 accurate but it you know gives it a look like it's a steam engine the gauge

7:10 like it's a steam engine the gauge

7:10 like it's a steam engine the gauge itself is made from a cup holder and

7:12 itself is made from a cup holder and

7:12 itself is made from a cup holder and just printed and made a gauge on there

7:15 just printed and made a gauge on there

7:15 just printed and made a gauge on there and then if you look closely you can see

7:17 and then if you look closely you can see

7:17 and then if you look closely you can see actually a hidden Mickey oh my gosh I

7:19 actually a hidden Mickey oh my gosh I

7:19 actually a hidden Mickey oh my gosh I hidden Mickey and do check this out down

7:21 hidden Mickey and do check this out down

7:21 hidden Mickey and do check this out down here look at that it even has like a

7:24 here look at that it even has like a

7:24 here look at that it even has like a little fire there look at the little

7:26 little fire there look at the little

7:26 little fire there look at the little pulleys for the working whistle the

7:28 pulleys for the working whistle the

7:28 pulleys for the working whistle the little rope actually rings the bell

7:30 little rope actually rings the bell

7:30 little rope actually rings the bell awesome just awesome a lot of people

7:33 awesome just awesome a lot of people

7:33 awesome just awesome a lot of people don't know this but like the original

7:35 don't know this but like the original

7:35 don't know this but like the original ride this train here is not powered by

7:38 ride this train here is not powered by

7:38 ride this train here is not powered by the locomotive in the front it's

7:40 the locomotive in the front it's

7:40 the locomotive in the front it's actually powered from this thing right

7:41 actually powered from this thing right

7:41 actually powered from this thing right from underneath the tender here the

7:42 from underneath the tender here the

7:42 from underneath the tender here the tender basically has inside of it two

7:45 tender basically has inside of it two

7:45 tender basically has inside of it two wheelchair motors they're electric

7:48 wheelchair motors they're electric

7:48 wheelchair motors they're electric motors run by batteries so we've got

7:50 motors run by batteries so we've got

7:50 motors run by batteries so we've got about 24 25 volt DC batteries and

7:53 about 24 25 volt DC batteries and

7:53 about 24 25 volt DC batteries and they're hooked to chains that hook to

7:55 they're hooked to chains that hook to

7:55 they're hooked to chains that hook to the axles the original one was somewhat

7:58 the axles the original one was somewhat

7:58 the axles the original one was somewhat of a I believe it was an original mine

8:00 of a I believe it was an original mine

8:00 of a I believe it was an original mine actual mine train type motor that they

8:05 actual mine train type motor that they

8:05 actual mine train type motor that they used basically very similar to the

8:08 used basically very similar to the

8:08 used basically very similar to the original electric motor just half the

8:10 original electric motor just half the

8:10 original electric motor just half the size and probably half the power of

8:12 size and probably half the power of

8:12 size and probably half the power of course I imagine this all had to be

8:14 course I imagine this all had to be

8:14 course I imagine this all had to be custom-made here on the outside it's

8:17 custom-made here on the outside it's

8:17 custom-made here on the outside it's made out of metal bit what it is made

8:19 made out of metal bit what it is made

8:19 made out of metal bit what it is made out of here no actually this is all just

8:21 out of here no actually this is all just

8:21 out of here no actually this is all just plywood just plywood and then the ends

8:24 plywood just plywood and then the ends

8:24 plywood just plywood and then the ends for the curves were actually made with

8:26 for the curves were actually made with

8:26 for the curves were actually made with PVC pipe put together and then

8:29 PVC pipe put together and then

8:29 PVC pipe put together and then a layer of fiberglass and a lot of

8:32 a layer of fiberglass and a lot of

8:32 a layer of fiberglass and a lot of bodywork to make it that nice Sheen look

8:34 bodywork to make it that nice Sheen look

8:34 bodywork to make it that nice Sheen look that it looks like metal this is awesome

8:36 that it looks like metal this is awesome

8:36 that it looks like metal this is awesome bill just told me these are real rivets

8:38 bill just told me these are real rivets

8:38 bill just told me these are real rivets but the locomotive rivets are basically

8:40 but the locomotive rivets are basically

8:40 but the locomotive rivets are basically googly eyes that you use for dolls and

8:44 googly eyes that you use for dolls and

8:44 googly eyes that you use for dolls and then you just paint it in black just

8:46 then you just paint it in black just

8:46 then you just paint it in black just glue them on and paint oh gosh I just

8:49 glue them on and paint oh gosh I just

8:49 glue them on and paint oh gosh I just explained to me how they use this weird

10:07 the attention span well as you said the caboose wasn't part of the original

10:09 caboose wasn't part of the original

10:09 caboose wasn't part of the original train but I wanted to build something

10:12 train but I wanted to build something

10:12 train but I wanted to build something for my grandkids that they could sit in

10:13 for my grandkids that they could sit in

10:13 for my grandkids that they could sit in and they're still pretty young so they

10:15 and they're still pretty young so they
