Those are pretty cool. Do they have trains to pull yet?

Art,

Not as yet. The plan is to add another car for each birthday or Christmas. Both boys are about a year old.

Those are pretty good looking. I wanted to do that...Except make trains that ran on Brio track. But I don't have anything good to work with wood.

nbrodar I like the looks of the locos and the idea, would you mind if I sort of borrowed your idea? If it is OK would you share the deminisions and how to's with me? I have a great nephew that is celibrating his first Christmas, and I thought it would be nice although late. Mike
