NICE job Darren. What kind of wood is the boiler? I really like the idea that it is made for a child to play with. Would you consider sharing your plans for this train?

@Rick: The boiler is ash (I turned it on my Shopsmith – my first turning), the cab, runners, and cow-catcher are purple-heart, and the rest is birch. I wish I could claim credit for the plans, but I followed a set from a children’s toy book. Making Toys That Teach by Les Neufeld. It’s an excellent book with a great introduction about “convergent” versus “divergent” play as the motivation for the toys presented.

That is one very nice piece – If you want to borrow my glueing jig for the cars, you are welcome to use it.
