Building a Bigger Barrel Train Ep 1

[@NipomoBeach]

Thank you for this video. I have three grand children and I'm going for this project.

[@LuisHernandez-he53]

I've watched about 6 videos on how to build some of these for my kids, and this is by far the best explained, and detailed video. I love that you precisely explained all measurements, sizes, and even gauge of materials used. Thank you for sharing!

[@harveystephens6115]

Great video. I just complete 6 cars. Took about 5 weeks. I’m pretty pleased with finished product. Was for a granddaughter birthday party in April which prob won’t happen now due to Virus shutdown Thanks for videos on construction!!!!!

[@cpcoark]

Boy I wish I would have seen this about 5 years ago. My grand kids would have loved it. there grown now so several of them wouldn't fit anymore.

just what i needed, 1st class video ! Thank You so much ! Greetings from the Emerald Isle

[@madrat39]

Great videos. Thanks, my son and I are going to start building some cars and converting a couple lawn tractors into a steam locomotive style trackless train to pull them with.

+César Grimmelprez thanks for the sub!

[@Sandillongrande]

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Mine have a few thousand miles on them now....the kids always get a kick....

[@johnniebobb1938]

this is great thank you

[@annlacombe6541]

Could you publish a complete materials list? It's kind of hard to follow through the videos. Great instructions. I am building this for my church Sunday school. Thanks for great videos.

[@frankiecruz6497]

Awesome info 👍You have the website to order tires ?

[@MarcusCampos-cc5fw]

Would you happen to sell the complete assembled train barrel frame?

[@bubbiemarie30]

These are cool. Is there any way u could create one that steers

[@bcde11012009]

Vc tem as medidas do chassis? 5:32

[@andrewwallace4805]

Got my 3 bbl choo choo here we come how u do that curve piece?

[@dwaynefather]

I would like to build some of these but I live in a very hilly area. Any suggestions on the hitch and receiver that would handle going up and down Hills correctly

[@koltendeansammons]

Grab a ball hitch and tongue. Run frame rails into whatever angle the tongue requires. Weld it all together and throw a ball onto the lawn mower.

[@Andy-de2wi]

What is the cost per cart?

[@Rollies305]

Hi great video!....How much did everything ended up costing you?

[@dadfacts2371]

This is what I head: 52in long 1"sq tube / 20 in long 1" sq tube / 5/8 in round stock 7"long / x2 1 wide 5/16 thick flat bar 5" long / x2 harbor freight tired

[@karynpolland1235]

I want to make the barrel train for my grandkids but the only thing I don’t know how to do is welding. Can you come up with a non-welding version? I saw how people use Dolly’s but I didn’t know if those wheels are strong enough. Thoughts? Thanks!

[@andrewwallace4805]

Hmm just bolt in lieu of weld?

[@aparecidosantosdebarrossan4183]

Muito bom gostei

[@oldschoolrepairshop2866]

is there a way to have it hook up to a 2 inch ball insted a pin?

[@koliloaloa]

Hi Jim, what do you tow it with, very tempted to make one for my grand kids.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+koliloaloa I use whatever I have around the farm that is not being used at that moment. You can use a riding lawnmower (my boys want to go faster than a riding lawn mower will go), I sometimes use my small tractor with a drawbar hooked to the three point hitch. Honestly, the most convenient thing to use is my Kawasaki Mule (like a golf cart with a bed on the back). It really doesn't matter, as long as you use some common sense with the management of the throttle. It pulls pretty easy, so you could use a small four wheeler or a golf cart too. I will say this, my kids love riding in that thing. Just wait till after a big rain storm and drag them through some puddles, they will think you are the best ever. We were also considering pulling some kids in a local parade. In upcoming videos I show how to cut the barrel, attach the barrel to the frame, make the steering wheel (there is no way that I was going to pay $25 each for plastic steering wheel), make the seat, make a dash, make the brake light simulators, and apply the graphics. Please stay tuned we have most of the video already filmed, it just take a lot of time to edit it. Thanks for watching!

[@samuelnjoroge6310]

Hi, how many hp of a lawn mower would pull 8 barrels carrying 2 children each? Thank you.

[@rodneywager2142]

Atleast a Farmall super A

[@Qndskmo]

Any idea what the whole car weighs?

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Qndskmo probably 25 lbs or less.
