Note: Have additional cans available for "whoops". Your first attempt won't be perfect. Once you get comfortable with the aluminum you will become an AluminumCanCraft master!

Easy To Make!

Once you have the parts cut out and molded, the train comes together easily.

The wheels can move together with the connecting rods.

The Train Engine is an excellent gift for the railroad worker or train enthusiast. You need 14-12oz. cans to complete the train.
