    Smile Started a new train from left over parts

    Got started on a small train yesterday thinking of making it one of those toy book end kind a project but we'll have to see there it wants to go.
    The chimney is all ready way different than I had planned but that's the way it wanted to be. lol

    The chimney and boiler were glued up for my last train [as one looong turning], but the glue up didn't go as planed not straight so cut it down and we get another train project.

    With a chimmney like that, I guess it is a wood burner. A chance for you to put all your short dowels in the tender.
    Love it already.
    Happy to take the left seat.

    With the risk of being censored - Does that mean 'She' will have a tender behind? Sorry, could not help myself and have been waiting to use that line.

    No tender, this is for a get together next week where everyone brings something to give away, so just a quick train project.

    The plan was to cut it in half for a book end but just couldn't bring myself to cut it up.

    It is surprising the odd bits and pieces we keep either failed parts or just a case of make two to see which looks the best. Great build from those parts Bruce

    Cut in half! That would almost be criminal. Throw a bunker on the back and make it a well tank engine.
    Good looking engine.

    I'm very glad it didn't get cut in half Bruce...

    Someone will be extremely lucky to receive such a beautiful hand made wooden toy train...

    Cheers, Peter
