Original Train bed

Project by Chris Davis posted 225 days ago 917 views 4 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I am currently building a train bed and blogging about it (see Train Blog) Some of you have been watching so I thought I’d share this one that I built in 2004. This is a bunk bed version, unlike the one I am building now.

Here are some building pictures of the new one. I didn’t have any saved of this first one:
New train bed pictures
using bending plywood.

For more building pictures see my Current Projects link at wwbeds.com or poggyskids.com. See what we are doing live:

If my son sees this bed I’m done-for. He’s all about Thomas the Train.

You should build one for him. I guess that is him in your profile picture.

I’m giving the idea of building a train bed for my son Alex some thought. I’d put a desk underneath the top bed since his room is cramped. It may be time to throw some Sketchup drawings together. :)

Greg,
I am just learning Sketchup, so it might be a “learning” project for me. The desk sounds like a great idea. Let me know if I can help in anyway.

I’ve got a grandson who is a Thomas the Train freak. He would go bananas.
