I had requests for a few more trains, so I took a break from finishing setting up the shop to build these

They're a little smaller than my last trains, about 32" from front to back, 4" high, 3.5" wide. I like the size better for a full train, the first trains I built to big and the kids ended up needing to much space to store/play with them. It also let me scale down to 3/4" thick bases which are a lot easier, the larger trains I built before had 1-1/4" thick bases.

If they government will ever clarify the whole testing procedure stuff for lead, I think these could actually be a worthwhile craft to sell. For now it's just on request for friends. Still crossing my fingers that one day as long as the finish/glue manufacturers get their products certified, we won't have to get ours certified.
 
Very cool Jeb!

Makes me think of one of those old stop motion animation christmas shows about the best toy maker in the land. :thumb: :thumb:
