Toys are one of my favorite things to make also. I should of thought about a little bigger box before I started. I hope it will be passed down.

I started on dump trucks again for Christmas donations yesterday.

Great Book Of Wooden Toys - Norm Marshall has several trains and is highly recommended. It has bee published under several slightly different titles and is cheap when purchased used.
