5031 - Train Accessories - If you have a few hours of idle time, we'll show you how to engineer some fond memories for a child (or grandchild) that will last everyone a lifetime.

These beautiful cherry-finished, train accessories are easy to build, fun to play with, and are plenty practical to boot.

With the help of our full-size plans, in just a few short minutes, you can shape a clever little coat rack, a locomotive lamp, a set of matching bookends, and a play train, complete with engine, coal car and caboose.

We used wooden toy parts for many of the smaller pieces, so there's no need for lots of intricate work or fancy tools. Really, this week's project is more like a craft, and is well suited for anyone wishing to brighten a young child's day at minimal expense. Pattern No. 5031.
