I used part of steves train plan and added a base like Patch did. Makes for a better toy to play with.

Looks very Professional.  Do you apply any type of finish to the pieces or any varnish?  Just wondering.  Danny  :+}

Very nice train.  You going to put some color on it or leave it natural?  It would look good either way.  Thanks for showing us it.

I am going to leave them natural. Painting them would be nice, but it's too hard for me. And there are a lot of train cars. I have to start duplicating the alphabet.

Great looking train!  I have been thinking of making that, with my amateur radio call sign.  Thanks for sharing.

I bought the wheels. I'm away from home right now to attatch the website. But I think I paid $.09 per wheels. I also bought the axels instead of cutting dowels. It worked out much easier for me and cost effective too. Remined me on monday for that website.
