PS Mini-Hy Cube boxcar in "Thomas" scale

[Burl]

I have a little boy who is into Thomas Wooden Railway.  Every year, for Christmas, I try to make him a Thomas-sized version of the kit I've made that year.  This year, I'm way behind on my own stuff, but I managed to get his done.

I have a Tangent HO scale version I'm using as a reference for my own project.  He has seen it on my desk & is fascinated with it.  It has IC reporting marks, so that's what he's getting:

I hope he keeps them for the rest of his life and realizes how valuable they are. -- Russ

Cool! Are they 3d printings?

[Chuck Doan]

Wonderful idea!

Ray: I have a pattern 3d printed, and resin copies are made from it.  This way, the finished product is a single block of resin (with magnets & wheels added).  Holds up well to a toddler.

Burl, Those are terrific! A great idea and execution of it.

And for Christmas when he's been naughty a gondola full of ashes and a log flat full of switches.
