Train Wooden Train - Wood Toy Train
My love of small details in my wooden train was restricted by the need for durability, but you will still find a sliding door on the box car, an opening gate in the circus car, an drive-away automobile on the auto car and working hook on the crane car. Most other train cars also have movable parts. I usually include at least ten woods in each train, (Sugar Maple, Tulipwood, Beech, White Ash, Black Locust, Red Oak, Hickory, Butternut, Black Cherry, Grey Elm and Walnut). Many people begin by purchasing a few train cars and rekindle a child's enthusiasm each birthday or holiday with additional cars. Each car has a leather hitch as shown at bottom of page. Each is 10 inches long. Each wooden train car is $29.00 .... except the Piggy-back which is $36.00. Consider my train car-a-month club. I will ship one car each month wherever you like for as long as you like. The cost with shipping is $36.00 per month, billed to your Visa/Mastercard. Imagine the delight when a child gets a new present in the mail each month. After the first two or three they begin to anticipate each month's new arrival, often pestering mom or dad with questions like, "When is my new train car coming from grandma?" |

Dear Mr. Linck, We have been very happy with your trains over the past three years. The colors and textures of the woods are lovely, and they have been virtually indestructible. My grandmother has been buying 2 cars for our older son (now 4) for each birthday and Christmas, and he is starting to have a close to complete collection. He plays with them almost every morning, as he gets up early and has "quiet" play before his 2 year old brother wakes up. They've taken a lot of hard use from both of them and still look Great. These are heirloom toys, and we want our younger son to have his own set to pass on to his children, so my grandmother has started to give him his own set. Its great for her too, as she can't shop easily and feels good about giving them hand-made toys that will stay with them for years. Thank you and best wishes. Eric |
Hi, once again John, Received your number 6 train car today, and it looks really great. Please keep them coming. The workmanship and different kinds of wood are really beautiful. Can't wait for the end of December. Thanks again John, Walter
The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!'
