Thiis is as close as I get

[Mike Davis]

I took drafting in high school, but I don't usually draw plans. In this case I need customer (daughter) approval.
So a quick drawing of a riding train engine.

 

[Mike Davis]

Revisions according to the customer (my daughter).
Approved and ready to begin.

 

[Raymond]

Very cool, Mike. Is there going to be a storage compartment under the seat?

 

[Mike Davis]

Yes Raymond, the seat will hinge forward.

 

[Bill Clemmons]

I like your daughter's revisions. My great grandkids have a few riding toys with the storage compartment under the seat. Great place to store matchbox cars, cookies, chips, PB&J sandwiches, etc., etc.

 

[HITCH-]

And pinecones Bill!

 

[ScottM]

Mike, how big is this going to be?

 

[Wilsoncb]

Nice drarring. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Scott, It's about 9"wide x about 8-9 to top of seat x 19-20" long

Rear wheels are 5 inch cart wheels holding 1500 pounds each, front castor wheels are 2 inch wheel total height of 2.5 inch with ball bearings holding 300 pounds each and both front and rear have polyurethane rubber, non-marking wheels. The wheels are way overkill but they are usually the weakest point of breakage.

Looking for polyurethane rubber covering for cow-catcher style front bumper.

Thinking out loud but maybe someone on the site with a 3D printer can make the front bumper.

More white boarding here... Battery powered LED light on front of Engine!

 

[Mike Davis]

I do need to incorporate some way to hold a 4 tone train whistle.

 

[Mike Davis]

Material prep and some rough cuts…

I don't think there is such a thing as overkill when designing a child's toy. They could break an anvil with a banana.

Pardon my late critic. But I think a fender over the rear wheel is needed.
From the picture
The fender provides two things. Protection, from the wheels, for the child legs when pushing them self and a place to rest their legs when being pushed.

There will be a fender.
