My Great Grandson Jacob loves “PaPa’s” Trains. He’s two years old, and grandpa set out to build him a train that a 2year old could play with and not destroy. All wood from scrap.
There is a tender.
Two box cars he can put little things in.
Two Gondola cars for stuff.
Two Flats, that “Mater” like in “Tow Mater” will ride a lot on.
And his favorite of all train cars a Caboose.
While this string runs off to “Grandma’s Paint Shop” I’ll be trying to build an engine. It will be a 2 or 4 -4-0 to drive it with. I had better start roughing out a sketch. No Side rods, no piping and a really stout stack for carrying with.
