I see a track around the property soon.
Awesome Happy Holidays…your so talented 😊
That's pretty cool
You may want to consider putting a rubber on those traction wheels.
Your child has the best parents EVER !!!
What a fun time. I'm sure that by next Christmas it will all be running smoothly. Thanks
Your going to have to find some ( slow blow cermeric) fuses.
❄🚂👍
Fabulous
You are officially the coolest aunt and uncle; mom and dad
Neat
Now you can just make more pieces of track and make a custom route on your property. Good thing you have a fab shop!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! P.S. I love trains too!
Need to set up some track cleaning wire brush and motors on the traction unit.
The number of commercials you've added is overwhelming. Sure, your making tons more money now, but I suspect your audience will shrink as a result of all the spots. I for one may jump ship. Too bad, I've enjoyed your channel for a long time.
Awesome !!!,
My son (2.5 yrs) would go crazy with this train.
This has to be best video you could if ever made bar the pregnancy one I think it was the tonic to cheer me right up to see Oliver’s smiles and yours just made it all so great , merry Xmas and a choo choo new year
When I first moved to Spokane in 1997, I remember seeing it at North Town mall. Great seeing you guys bring it back to life!!!
Hey good evening or good morning you guys hope you guys having a wonderful day keep up the good work I'm proud of you guys got to train set for a Oliver all right you guys have a great day and God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I agree, Oliver is just an excuse for you to finally have your own train.
How lucky is Oliver to have such fun parents.
I heard in the video that this train came from Yorktown mall? Is that the Yorktown in Lombard IL? If so I remember this exact train on many of Xmas holiday's running around with happy little children riding it each year. Any why is Riley's contact "Spud" in Courtney's phone?
May the Kid in you always live on…. 😉
Riley, Please cut out the over-acting. You're not Bill Shatner, so your animation doesn't work. Instead, go back 2 years ago and look closely at your "Are We Rich" episode where you were just being yourself. Someone we trust and like and NOT sounding like a pitchman for Oxyclean. Courtney is perfect, but PLEASE kick Riley's butt for us. Thanks.
as soon as i saw you using a hose….. like seriously?
NO ! Dad BUYS son a train. You didn't build it.
You guys are so fun to watch!
You always come up with the koolest things.I hope you have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Time for a modernization with brushless DC motors, PWM speed control, upgrade the lights to LED and add some strings of multicolor addressable LEDs. Apparently the problems with the rear motor was why the mall got rid of it. Take what you were going to spend on the electric conversion of that amphibious ATV and put it into making this train a large amount better. May as well fix up the yellow car and make some more track so it can have left and right turns.
Good video, but Olivers grin at the beginning made it great. Your little guy cracked me up with that big smile. 😀😀😀😀
Ive just finished watching all of your videos in the last 2 week from when you started your cabin build, hats off to you it is by far the best, most interesting put together off grid series i have ever watched, on the hunt for something as good as now 🙂
