I'm looking for plans or a picture of a trailer made out of a 55 gal drum to pull behind a lawn mover or 4 wheeler. It has a seat and steering wheel and I've seen several hooked together to form a train. Thanks for any help in this, it will be for the grandkids.

Looks like it would be expensive but I saw one that used hand Trucks/2 wheeled dolly? whatever they are called. for the entire chassis. They were hooked together in a train.

Here is a picture of a barrel train used by our club here in Co. I know it's not a real close-up, but maybe it will help you. Larry

Don't really need much for plans. Just put a kid on a barrel and use him as a pattern to torch out the required size hole. Cover the cut edge with a split water hose held in place with conduit clamps. Before cutting, rotate the barrel so a bung hole is at the bottom- for drainage in case the train is stored outside. Or if you left the kid on the barrel during cutting- instead of using a CHALK OUTLINE!.

Plastic barrels don't have sharp edges and don't rust. They are also easy to cut.

Check FARMSHOW magazine archives. They have had articles about that.
