Stand Up Train Assembly
How to make a close rendition of a stand up type train from a sit down looping train. Items needed to do the modification are: a sit down looping train, metal wheels, drill and 1/16th drill bit, Dremel tool with sanding head and cutting blade, (14) # 2 - 56 x 3/4 inch screws, 9 mm long metal pins (rail connectors work) and 8 mm long stand pipes made from 1/8th x .014 round aluminum pipe.
Below is a description and photos of how I made the modifications to make the stand up train.

1. Are all the things I used to make the trains. 2. Is bottom of a seat section needing a little work.
3. I sanded the bottom of outside seats because there are dimples in the bottom. 4. Drilled holes in bottom of outside seats about 2.5 mm deep, I used the middle screws to line up the holes.
5. Inserted pins, I cut them from a rail connector as they are the right size, cut them down to about 9 mm long. 6. Cut the stand pipes to 8 mm long. 7. Then using the 3/4 inch screws and the
 8 mm stand pipes I assembled the train. 8. Finished car and photos below of the finished train.
Some photos of the finished stand up train with some new decals and the painted restraints.

Below are several sections of modifications:
 Stand Up Train and Spine Connector Modification.
Spine Connector Modification
 Some may have trouble with the spine connectors staying in the spines. I found an easy modification to make the connectors fit tightly but not to tight. Things needed: 1 roll of 2 inch Scotch Brand Painters Masking Tape, scissors, tape measure and the spines you want to fix.
Below are photos and description of how to make the modification.
1. The Scotch Brand 2 inch Tape. 2. The spine connectors. 3.  Cutting the tape so that its 3/4 inch by 2 inch, rap each end with a section of tape. 4. The finished spine connector.
