Three cars, three woods, one job: show a child what different trees look like side by side. Pale hard maple, honey cherry and dark black walnut, finished identically so the only difference you see is the tree.

Each door rides in a milled brass track and slides open with one finger. There is no catch and no spring, because there is nothing in a child's toy that benefits from a spring.

Bought together they cost less than three cars bought singly, and they are the fastest way to turn one locomotive into an actual train.

Adding a piece starts a quote — it does not charge you. We reply within two business days with a firm price and a build date.
