Tubalcain (aka Mr. Pete) is a retired school machine shop teacher who lives in Illinois (Streator, IL IIRC). He has a YouTube channel wherein he posts interesting (to me at least, and apparently a lot of other subscribers) machining tips and how-to videos. I stumbled across his channel when looking for tips on how to tap holes for small screws, and learned a lot of info over the years.In addition to the machine shop videos, Tubalcain also takes road trips to various industrial and transportation museums like the Ford Museum, the Studebaker Musuem, even the Grizzly Shop equipment distributor. His most recent one, as this thread's title implies, was to the Illinois Railway Museum, and it seemed fairly interesting as sort of an educated layman's view of the museum - He has a decent amount of knowledge about the equipment, but is not a pure railfan (e.g. he uses "rolling stock" in the most general sense moving equipment, as opposed to only referring to rail passenger and freight cars). You will also note the machine shop teacher in him come out when he comes across some large shop equipment in the backlots. The video ends with several minutes recorded from the trolley tour around the grounds.For those interested in watching, the video is here. He and his friend do cover a lot of ground.
