There is a very fine line between
"hobby" and "mental illness".

That's cute. Is that fairground train animated?

Yes. Each car has something animated on it and the ferris wheel spins. We
call it the "Goofy Train".

I can see a train motor every other car, but I presume the red wheels then are
BBB wheels, and the feature drive is taken from the axle? I've got a piggy-back
train that gets its drive from half-bushes with minifig car tyres, suspended
between the wheel sets of a bogey. The bogey pivots about a vertical axle
drive. Is the ferris wheel a similar arrangement?
I'd love to see more pictures of this train. I've tried to do an animated
dragon, but it can't get enough power from rolling wheels and a technic motor
slaved from the train motor is similarly weak. I think my only option is a
battery box and a separate motor.

Hey Jason, I am trying to get you in touch with the member who built this train,
but your email is bouncing. Can you send me a current email address so I can
pass it on to him?

Sorry, I've tried to get that email address sorted out, but nothing seems to
move around here. The address in my profile is correct.
