Edit: I added 3 more cars to the set. Added the pictures to the post.
Had an idea yesterday to make a train to hold candy instead of a basket. I also gave myself the challenge to use only 3 boards. LOL The caboose roof comes off so you can put stuff in there too!
Made from (you guessed it!) 1.8" MDF
Engine: 8.25"L x 4"H x 2.625"W
Coal (candy) Car: 5.5"L x 2.25"H x 2.25"W
Egg Car: 5.5"L x 1.5"H x 2.25"W
Caboose: 5.5"L x 4.5"H x 2.25"W
It took about an hour to cut all 4 boards, and probably 45 mins to put together. Most of it is snap-together, but there are some tiny pieces to glue. The engine has a lot of gluing up. LOL
The wheels don’t turn (although I am now working on that) and they just sit in the tracks. Makes a cute decoration. You can print as many of the Candy and Egg Cars as you want. Just keep adding to the train!
It is 3 boards. I typed 4 by accident. 1 board for the Caboose and track, 1 Board for the Engine and track, and Both the other cars and their tracks fit on 1 board.
@beerfaced I have found with mdf that either the Gorilla Super Glue (Blue Cap) or the Gel (Green Cap) works amazingly well. I have never had a piece come apart, in fact when I screw up I have to print a whole new one because there is no way to get them apart. LOL
This is so cute. I don’t normally miss having little kids (I’m kind of loving the teen years so far!), but my kids would have love this when they were little.
