babe train

Slang
it's one of bud's lines from "married...with children": i have carefully crafted my look over the years, into the finely honed ***babe train*** you see before you.
he says this when kelly, his sister, asks him to help her do assignment for modeling school: she wants to "take a complete wreck of a human, a fashion frog, and do a complete make-over".
*
could you please explain this to me? i do understand the general meaning: he's saying he's good as he is, and babes like him, so he doesn't want a makeover. but i've never heard the expression before, and i need to translate it, so i'd like to be sure. thanks

Song: Love Train Lyrics
People all over the world (everybody)
Join hands (join)
Start a love train, love train
People all over the world (all the world, now)
Join hands (love ride)
Start a love train (love ride), love train
The next stop that we make will be soon
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too
Don't you know that it's time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
Well, well
People all over the world (you don't need no money)
Join hands (come on)
Start a love train, love train (don't need no ticket, come on)
People all over the world (Join in, ride this train)
Join in (Ride this train, y'all)
