One of our fellow woodworkers (MtnWild) has given me over the years some large oak beams reclaimed from heavy equipment pallets. This train was created from the resawn lumber from one of those beams. Not my design, I found it in an old toy making book a few years ago. A new car is created every year and now this train is 8' long. And Tucker T is one of my best friends.
Some of my most creative moments have been when I've had to cover up an error in my woodworking.
