Steam Train
We designed this steam train after we had collected enough of the large wheels
to make an engine, tender, passenger coach and caboose. The engine has a long
cylindrical boiler with a chain clip on top emulating a bell. Individual chain
pieces were used to represent a load of coal in the open tender. An identical
axle design was used for all cars so they could be easily hooked together. This
design consists of five connectors attached in parallel to a yellow rod, with an
axle spacer separating them from the large wheel and tan connector. Additional
axle spacers and dark grey connectors were used to fill out the lower walls of
the passenger coach. Many red connectors attached to red rods formed the base
of the caboose. The simple track-and-ties design consists of sections of yellow
rods and yellow connectors attached together with green rods.
