How about another train?
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This design is from The Great All-American Wooden Toy Book by Norman Marshall.The 1st engine was built from English maple and ended up quite heavy, I didn't want kids getting a concussion from one of my toys. Nothing can ruin your reputation as a toy maker the the two words “blunt instrument”. So out of my shop stock came the pine and cedar to build another engine and the cars you see. This is the only version with store bought wheels. For convenience you can't beat them, but even though I end up standing at my drill press for hours the shop made wheels look much better. This was given to a school and since has added a box car, ore wagon and tanker. I've got to stop typing, my “wheel drilling” cramp is starting up again!
