Train Body
The train body was made by creating a rectangle and a circle and extruding it completely through. Next, the back part of the body was created by making a bigger rectangle and extruding it backwards. A sketch (on a work place) was then created on the right side of the back of the train body and a circle was put on. Then it was extruded. For the finishing touches, the body was filleted and different holes were put on that would later be used for train assembly.
Stack
The stack was created using the revolve function. The internal shape of the stack was made with the correct dimensions and revolved around the center axis. The bottom edge was also chamfered.
Hitch Magnet
Two circles with the correct dimensions were created. The circles were then extruded to the correct depth that resembled the actual hitch magnet.
Hitch Peg
To create the hitch peg, the top part of the hitch peg was revolved around. Also, it was necessary to revolve around the middle line to get the cylinder stem of the peg.
Wheel
The wheel was created using the revolve function and circular pattern tool that cut out six shapes on the wheel. The internal shape of the wheel was made with the given dimensions and revolved around a center axis.
Axle Peg
The sketch of the picture was made along with half of a circle for the top of the peg. Both these shapes were then extruded to form the axle peg and threaded at the bottom.
Cow Catcher
In order to begin the cow catcher, two triangles, one big and one small, were created. The two triangles were lofted to make the front of the cow catcher angled. To create the indents in the front of the cow catcher, a work plane was made. The work plane was drawn on and then extruded backwards. The shell function helped create the hole on the inside of the cow catcher. On the back of the cow catcher, pegs were attached to the train body. Finally, the peg was chamfered to make the tip of the peg on an angle.
Train Track
The train track was made by sketching the side view and extruding it back 12 inches. Afterwards, two separate sketches were made using the same technique. However, one was extruded/cut away and the other was just extruded.
Section View of the Stack
Section lines are lines that indicate material that was cut at the cutting plane line. Cutting plane lines indicate the location of the cut. They are drawn with a thick and broken line. The section view of the stack shows the "inside" details not apparent on the exterior of the part.
Auxiliary View of the Cow Catcher
Auxiliary views are used to show features that are located on an inclined surface in true size and shape. An auxiliary view allows the viewer to look perpendicularly to an angled surface to witness the true size and shape of that surface and its features.
