Further Adventures in Woodworking
I made another train for my daughter's birthday. I did not paint it this time, though I may get around to that sometime. I turned the round "boiler" on my wood lathe. The wooden holders for the boiler I cut with my scroll saw. The pattern for the engine is largely my own design. She got a "Driver" figurine from the Thomas the Train series at Christmas time, so I made the engineer box to custom fit. I also made the freight cars have some actual freight, which are really more like tinker toys. I got the idea for that out of a magazine. I think they turned out nice.
