065 - Victorian locomotive

This is a pattern of an old English locomotive with a freight car. Its evocative design makes it unique and fascinating. Wherever you place it, it will become the center of attention. The whole train is ornamented with delicate fretwork. It has no special difficulties in its construction. Only the roof of the locomotive has to be made in a thin wood and glued carefully because it needs to be bent slightly. But besides minor details this project can be completed by any average scroller with patience enough. The model of the train can be made with just one freight car or two or more if desired. The patterns are a complete computer reconstruction of a very old English design.

The pattern is designed to make the locomotive with 1/8 inches wood (some pieces in 1/16 and 3/16 inches wood) or with 3 mm wood (some pieces in 1,5 and 4,5 mm wood), but of course it can be resized at will. This table gives the dimensions of the whole train depending on the wood thickness you use:

	Height	Width	Length
1/8 in. wood	9.5 in.	5.1 in.	43.3 in.
3/16 in. wood	11.4 in.	7.6 in.	65 in.
3 mm wood	22.7 cm	12.3 cm	104 cm
4 mm wood	30.3 cm	16.4 cm	138.7 cm

The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Please write me to info@finescrollsaw.com to buy this pattern or for any questions.

This picture has been kindly sent by Matien van der Els from the Netherlands: "It was really fun to make it. I scrolled every part individually. That means that I did not do any stack-cutting. When I needed a certain part 4 times I scrolled it four times. For those who want to make the train I can tell that the drawings are very accurate, and easy to handle. However the assembling is a very time consuming thing. Due to the fact that most parts of the train are made of 1/8 inches (3 mm) plywood, the train gets its stiffness at the end of the assembling. When gluing the parts together you have to take time to let the glue get dry enough before mounting the next part. For my train I added some parts of thick (12mm) plywood to the bottom of the first and second floor of the locomotive. These parts are not visible, but they bring some extra stiffness to the construction".
