Wooden Toy Train Locomotive Plans
These wooden toy train plans are for building a 1/32 scale model of a steam engine from the early 20th century. Hardwoods can be used to add contrast and highlight certain sections of the locomotive.
Apply three coats of polyurethane on the wooden sections and clear nail polish on the brass sections to increase the durability and beauty of the model.
Build the engine by cutting and gluing together all parts to the chassis. Most of the components are made of wood, but some pieces require metal parts. The connecting rods are attached to the wheels with brass pins.
The drive rods and connecting rods are cut from 1/4 inch wide brass pieces. The piston is constructed from a 3/32 inch diameter, 2 1/4 inch long brass rod with a hook at one end.

The backrest is supported by posts fastened with metal dowels and deck screws.
The underside of the runners is covered with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plastic that enhances the runner’s gliding ability and prevents corrosion.
The runners and backrest are made with narrow wooden strips that are laminated together and bent while gluing.

Wooden Toy Soldier Nutcracker Plans
Building a traditional nutcracker from these wooden toy soldier nutcracker plans may be a bit time-consuming because of the many parts involved. But if you follow a systematic approach, the work will become much easier.
Most of the components shown in the nutcracker blueprints are crafted in a lathe. The legs, arms, head, and torso are all turned out of only 3 blank timber pieces. This makes it easy to assemble.
Creating all parts for the arm from the same spindle rotation ensures that all arm sections will be of uniform dimensions and the joint at the elbow will fit precisely.
A soft timber like basswood is suitable for turning the main sections of the project, while ash is suitable for crafting the crank and jaw. Wrists are crafted by using birch dowels.
You can create multiple nutcrackers and give each one a unique persona by painting their faces, helmets, and hair in different colors.
