 Model Trailways

I opened two of the kits and was amazed at the parts provided which includes a sheet of  brass parts, metal hubs, copper like chain, brass nails, four tiny drill bits, rods, canvas and laser-cut basswood, complete with parts list, scale drawings on five large format paper and instructions! Bob Crane made the prototype for the first 3 kits. These are the best kits I have ever seen! These are new to the world - watch for more vehicles.

Farm toy kits by Jak the Tinker - New!

  The wood used on the wagons and kits are mostly pine and Mahogany. But other wood may be used depending on availability. The Mahogany in Central America is soft and easy to work with, no grain to distract a nail or finishing. The double trees, tongues and reaches are native oak and coated with Tung oil as it looks much nicer than varnish. The proceeds from these kits and completed wagons go to support a school and a few underprivileged families in Central America. I have several of these models already constructed - See Models for Sale

3-slat-farm Farm wagon Kit with 3 slat sides and 3" wheels. Box measures 9" long, 4 3/4" wide and 3 ½" tall including the under carriage. Over all from the tip of tongue to the back of wagon is 19 ½" long. These are new kits just being produced. It comes with wood parts cut out and numbered - metal turntable and other small parts and instructions for assembly - very nice kit. 

$43 + $6 s/h Currently out of stock.

Hay-wagon Hay Wagon Kit with 2" wheels. 7 ¼" tall, 6" wide. Comes with gear, wheels, tongue, double trees, hay box and instructions. The box is 10 ½" long and with the tongue it measures 19" long. Parts are cut out of wood and numbered for assembly. Very nice kit.

$47 + $6 s/h for the kit

You can order just the undercarriage kit with either 2" wheels or 3" wheels and make your own box. Wheels are plastic but the rest of the chassis is wood with a few small metal pieces like the turntable. Tongue and double trees are included.

$19.00 + $6 s/h specify either the 2" wheels or the 3" wheels. Only one set with small wheels in stock to fit under the Hay Wagon Kit.
