Railroad train

Working material: Matchboxes, burned matches, Pappreste, Colored paper, line.

Heiner got an electric train for his birthday. His little brother Frank would also like to play a train. But it is still too small for the electric train. That's why Heiner makes a train out of empty matchboxes for the little brother. The locomotive consists of two box covers, which are put together and pasted over with colored paper. He uses spent matches for the axles, and the wheels are cut from thin cardboard. Heiner turns the chimney of the locomotive out of colored paper and smokes some cotton wool into it. A cord is attached to the locomotive, in order to be able to line up the tender and the wagons. On the colored side of the picture there are some suggestions for making wagons, others are left to your fate.

Heiner carefully covers the whole thing with colored paper and finally attaches the badger's hat, which consists of half a slide, and decorate it with a clock and flag. He tinkered the switch house from a box cover, which the Fig. 1, 2 and 3 is designed accordingly.

A two-in-hand pair had pulled up at the station. Heiner takes a slide for the car.

He folds the seat from the same material (Fig. 2) and stick the coachman on, which he after submission (Fig. 3) recorded, cut out and then also painted. – Who finds joy in it, additionally tinkers with the factory buildings shown in the background according to his own opinion.
