Thomas the Train. Updated: May the 4th
Anyone with younglings is gonna appreciate this.
I am building this for my 3 1/2yo nephew.
He LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine. So I figured I'd build him one...
A BIG one![]

Can you drop a second one off at MY nephew's house?
I got him a Thomas the Tank Engine, but it was only about 5" long.[|)]
[edit]
You aren't that dad that built his kids the Madcat Mechwarrior for a tree house are you.

No, the Tank will be sealed off. There's a bunch of screws in there anyways...
BTW:
That's a nice model!!
I couldn't tell if that was a real car deck or not, I had to read the caption!

Any plans for a "steering wheel" and conductors seat? I know it'd be icing on the cake but a horn/train whistle would rock.[8D]

My budgit limits what I can do with this thing, but I want to put some valves and leavers and the such.
I was thinking about putting a bench seat inside on the back wall.
If making the cylinder wasn't such a PITA I'd "Extend" the tank into the box like it should be...

What an awesome project, thats going to put a big grin on his face for sure! Can't wait to see it finished!!
Hey xwing, IF you have the time, can you draw these plans up in CAD?
If you can't don't worry about it. I know you must have a bunch of sabers to do. I just think it would be cool to show off.
The plans that I drew (in the first post) are at a scale of 1 square = 6".
If you need clearer plans I can scan it rather than that photograph.

Sure, scan them in. I believe you have my email. Boxes are easy to make on CAD.[]
