This little wooden freight train has been a real hit with our grandson and several other children who have received it as a gift. It’s a little bit bigger than My First Train, with more cars and interesting ‘cargo’, to appeal to a young child’s imagination, while still being small enough for easy handling.

The train is made up of an engine with a coal tender, a car carrying logs, a tanker car and four empty cargo cars just perfect for a child’s special ‘shipments’.

The dimensions:

Total Train: 1.5m (1.6yds)

Locomotive: 24.0cm (9.4in) x 13.0cm (5.1 in) x 8.2cm (3.2 in)

Tender: 13.2cm (5.1in) x 6.7cm (2.6 in) x 8.2cm (3.2 in)

Log car: 16.0cm (3.5in) x 8.9cm (3.5 in) x 8.2cm (3.2 in)

Tanker car: 16.0cm (3.5in) x 9.6cm (3.7 in) x 8.2cm (3.2 in)

Empty cars: 16.0cm (3.5in) x 6.9cm (2.7 in) x 8.2cm (3.2 in)

Its simple construction is very sturdy and it is easy to hook the carriages together or to play with them separately. This train is crafted from natural timbers and is beautifully finished in a soft, child-safe coating

Because it is made to order, there is an expected shipping time of three weeks.

Note: Since only natural timber is used, the colour and grain may vary slightly from the train shown in the photographs.
