| Make your own model train
Just cut around the edge, fold and insert the tabs in the slots
to make a model engine carriage. You might like to make a wide slot
in the top and you can turn it into a train money box.

Version 1
This is a coloured cut out for you to make.
Version 2
For those who like to colour in or paint, here is an uncoloured
cut out model for you to make.
Version 3

For those of you who would like to make a bigger train, here is
your chance! Version 3 has a cut out drawing on a 2 cm grid. All
you need to do is draw up a bigger grid, for example a 4 cm grid,
and then copy the drawing carefully into the squares. This is called
enlarging and is a lot of fun. You will end up with a much larger
train to colour in or paint, cut out, fold and slot together.
If you want to you can use this pattern to make carriages for your
engine. Use the same outline but change the position of the doors
and windows. To give you some ideas of carriage designs try visiting
Our Trains. It shows some drawings of different kinds of trains.
Have fun!
