Grandpa's Train
Home: California, United States
Grandpa's Train is a two car electric train built on a heavy duty wheel chair platform. It was basically built on a dare from my wife when she asked 'what are you going to do with _that_?' I said 'I dunno, build a train?' It can carry four kids.

What Inspired You to Make This?
Picked up a wheelchair for parts at the dump. When I found out it worked fine and was a heavy duty wheelchair, the idea of a train occurred to me.
