My and friend made a tesla coil for our science project when we were juniors. We hand wound a 6 foot stinger and piggy backed a couple of (real) train transformers (his dad worked for the railroad) up to around a zillion volts. It lit up all the flourescent lights in the gym when we turned it on. Blue lightning bolts shooting out of the top and hearing damage all around.

Glorious. I also built Tesla coils as a kid. Still do, but these use a 5 KW pole transformer wired in reverse. These are deadly and the RF field has destroyed half the electronic devices in our house.

Real Train transformers?? Do tell, I'm not familiar.
