There are a total of five 8" long cars, each with a full size pattern for necessary parts: a box car, tender car, cattle car, caboose, and of course the locomotive. The cars are large enough to put many types of play people and toys in. Great for imaginations and it is a classic design. A materials list, full size patterns, shop instructional notes included, everything you need in a plan in order to get your job as the woodworker finished effectively. Create an heirloom!
