Andrew Reams, known as Diesel Ducy on his online platforms including his YouTube channel, ElevaTOURS, which has more than 100,000 subscribers, recently received the “secret” creator award, known as the Silver Letter, from the online platform, WSLS reports. When Reams decided to start his YouTube channel in 2006, he learned there were other people just like him with the same interest, and he was encouraged to share his love of elevators. He has also started his own elevator museum out of a storage unit he rents on 4th Street in Roanoke, Virginia, that he calls the ElevaTOURS International Elevator Museum. Now that it is on Google Maps, he says the museum is growing in popularity and people visit from all over the world. Reams has been collecting parts since the 1990s and told the source that it is rewarding seeing his fascination grow into something as special as his private collection. Reams was diagnosed with autism in the 1990s and has since become an advocate for people with autism and works to help educate parents of autistic children. Like his fixation on elevators, Reams is passionate about trains, which is why he goes by Diesel Ducy, the name of a toy train he got when he was a small child. He has been working for Norfolk South Railroad as a locomotive engineer for more than a decade.
