This handcrafted jumbo train set is a showstopper—whether it’s chugging across the playroom or displayed as a stunning centerpiece. Made from a mix of premium hardwoods, the six cars connect to form an impressive 55-inch-long train, yet each one can be detached and played with individually, then reconnected in any order thanks to a clever peg-and-hole system.
The engine is a solid, sculptural unit. The gondola carries removable barrels, while the boxcar and caboose feature fitted lids—perfect for stashing “secret” cargo. The flat car includes removable logs, and the crane car is a true standout: it swivels, features a working crank to raise and lower its load, and locks securely into place for realistic play.
All other components, including wheels, axles, and smokestacks, are permanently affixed for durability. Whether gifted to a child, a train enthusiast, or simply used as a striking decorative piece, this jumbo train is built to be treasured for generations.

About Don Hurley
Don Hurley began handcrafting classic wooden toys in the early 1970s. Initially, he wanted to give his children sturdy toys that would provide hours of imaginative play. His children loved the toys and shared them with other neighbor children. Over time, word of the wonderful toys spread, and Don's classic toy business was born!
When Don became a grandparent, he introduced a second generation of classic toys. Over the years, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren became his test market—if the toys held up to their use, they were added to the toy line.
Don constructs the toys using a mix of hardwoods, and the oiled finish is natural and child-safe. He sands, finishes, and details each piece by hand. All the toys he creates are built to withstand generations of use and are meant to provide hours of play for children of all ages!
