One day I'd love to build your train. Beautifully done. It was a bitter pill to swallow when a parent told me that the toys I gave to children were "too nice" to be played with. I had to step back and re-think why I was building them the way I was. Since then I make them all good representations but just rustic enough that they are in no danger of becoming shelf queens. Never had a child complain yet.
Some of my most creative moments have been when I've had to cover up an error in my woodworking.
