If you go to this topic, there are pics of the inside. http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/144997.aspx Blade and shaft are from a Kirby vacuum , The drill is an old cordless ( no batt. made anymore) The chute is a transitional piece of PVC from Home Crapo ! I put the shaft/b lade into the drill press and used a file to turn down the blade to fit inside the chute. The metal strap is plumber strap. Just an old flat car. Power pickup's are USA's and I have a MU cable to go to the engines.Power is track / TE / elite power pack. This is always on stand bye. Sean
