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.

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.

I appreciate the tip, thanks for watching.

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

HI I like you idea currently busy sourcing information on how to build a trackless train. William Douglas from South Africa

[@moisesgarcia267]

Smart man..what a beautiful train..thanks for that video..

[@KevinHoffman-c7p]

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.

[@davidgordon8284]

You did awesome with it.

[@parttimebuilds4504]

Thank you, I appreciate it

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

[@parttimebuilds4504]

I like it 👍

[@Superduty_59]

[@parttimebuilds4504]

Thank you sir

[@lambethracing8786]

Awesome job!

[@parttimebuilds4504]

Thanks!

[@bradleychase3126]

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.

[@parttimebuilds4504]

That’s a good idea. I haven’t been able to keep them off of it long enough yet.

[@bradleychase3126]

@@parttimebuilds4504 I can appreciate that. You do mighty fine work. By the way. You made great and comprehensive videos. Hope to see many more like them.

[@bradleychase3126]

@Part Time Builds Another Idea if you don't mind. Use a big rig alternator and where you remove deck as well as it's pulley to spin alternator. Then you can use a converter to operate a fog machine in the smoke stack.

[@scottlamay6146]

Use pool noodles on the edges of the barrels you cut

[@robertbucher7523]

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

[@parttimebuilds4504]

Maybe if I had John Deere money haha

[@clockboy8638]

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

[@parttimebuilds4504]

It would but I bought a zero turn when the murray’s belt originally started slipping. We are going to keep it as a train for now.

[@moisesgarcia267]

Hi part time...I have a question for you...may I use a hitch lock 500 pound to pull a bagons one hitch for each one..I bought it from amazon, but I am not in sure I can use for safety...very truly yours, Moises..

[@moisesgarcia267]

How many pound can I pull up whit that lawn movers? Which model is that best?

[@parttimebuilds4504]

Im not sure. I only used it because it was a free mower given to me. However I did pull a 1999 mercury around the yard with it, so I knew it would be able to pull the kids.
