End of Year Project: Mini Train

Using a packet of drawn parts with measurements but no instructions on how to make each piece we built trains on CAD. We got a chance to use resources outside of what we had learned in class. Youtube had a ton of instructional videos that made it really easy to make all 9 parts and then assembling them. I really enjoyed making the train!
 
The wheel of the train: we will need 4

The hitch peg: only need 1

The hitch magnet: we only need 1

The cow catcher: we will only need 1
The train body: we will only need 1
The axel peg: we will need 4

The stack: we will only need 1

The linkage arm: we will need 2
The linkage peg: we will need 4
The FINAL PRODUCT: now that I have finished assembling the toy train I have been working to make a train track for it to go around.

Architecture Capstone Project

We started getting instructions and going over the project three or four weeks ago. Sam and I have paired up and we started our "Magic House". We chose to have Mr. Bucko as our client. Our progress is tracked on the powerpoint below. This was definitely a fun project!
