A toy train that I made some time ago, a smaller version of one I found online.
Simple project easy to make wooden toy train. There is a secret compartment in the boiler accessible from the cab, which is in fact not included in this Sketchup model. Follow the link below to the web page for the free printable PDF plans.
Making a round cylinder for the boiler is a challenge if you don’t have access to a wood lathe.
I made the boiler cooper style. Who was it that suggested making a stack of disks and gluing them together. That would be quite solid, and you would lose the secret compartment inside the boiler.
Unless you can figure out how to make a series of rings instead. Easy enough on a wood lathe. Without one, I would do it the way I make large wooden wheels.
You may have other ideas, like using a tin can or a cardboard tube.
