This was what I did with my weekend :) My wife had this idea for the little neighbor girl’s Birthday, where she wanted to get blocks, and have me make small cars to play with them. So these are little (about 2” long by 1” tall) versions of my other cars. I added the houses after ones that I had made for another set for Christmas (last picture). But I’m not sure that I really like them when they are this small. Maybe the next batch will be thicker wood.
Anyway, her Birthday is tomorrow, so we’ll see what she thinks of them!

Dale another really great toy project. What size of wood did you use for these? My nephew’s birthday is coming up and I am planning to make him a fire truck, but I like your idea of a whole little set.

Thanks everyone!
Chris- These are cut from a 1×2 of maple. They’re probably about 1 1/4” tall, and just over 2” long (I think). And the wheels are 3/4” wheels with 1/8” axles. These will fit on wooden train tracks perfectly. The wooden wheels don’t roll quite as well as the plastic ones the trains come with, but hey….we can make what ever we like :) It’s a fair trade to me.
Good luck, can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
