Toy Train Steam Engine

A small toy train I designed on Tinkercad, marking the beginning of my 3D design journey. Feel free to utilize and modify it as you see fit. Updated on 10/2/17 - A coupler has been added to the back of the train, and the wheels are now combined in one file for ease of printing. On 10/11/17, a warning was issued: after allowing my two-year-old child to play with this train for a couple weeks, it became apparent that the original wheels were woefully inadequate. If you've already printed this design, I strongly advise against letting your small child handle it! To make matters worse, I have redesigned the train to be more kid-friendly and will be posting the updated design within 24-48 hours. On 10/12/17, Version 2 was uploaded, featuring wheels that are significantly more robust and spin with less resistance. Please note that these new wheels won't fit the original locomotive or coaches, so you'll need to print new ones. As of May 4, 2019, STL files for printing individual wheels were added, allowing users to choose between printing them together or using a different axle. In addition to the train, I have created five distinct train cars that complement this design.
