Built for my own track nights

Plan the track before the kids wake up.

I kept eyeballing layouts and running out of straights, curves, or carpet halfway through, so I built this to drag pieces around until they actually fit the table.

The Train Box

The first one was a birthday present, back when he was younger — a small box with three big buttons, no app, no pairing, no account. Press one, the train goes, and it's still running on my desk today. Easy enough for little fingers, forgiving enough for clumsy ones.

Custom Tonies

He's deep into dinosaurs right now, so the next project turned into this: a Toniebox that plays whatever I want, wearing a figure that never came from Tonies at all.
