1. A base coat of silver for servo is good before the ruby red.
2. A dremel sander is great for shaping the engine block and shoulders.
3. It's good to attach the trains with small nuts and bolts because they won't fall off, as it is with glue.
4. I personally prefer the money lover barrel, however some people use the Giant Barrel of Monkeys. It's almost the same size, and a lot cheaper.
5. Speaking of barrels, recasts only will run you $50-60 as opposed to $150+ for an original, if you're fortunate enough to find one.
6. The springs as well as the upper arms from a C More Bunz doll can be used for Tom.
7. There are many subsitutions for the "Boo Bowl" available, however the Boo Bowls are out there: I got my original Boo Bowl at a garage sale for only 50 cents!
