Train

503-TRN

The Train is a train playground locomotive, ramshackle in form, giving schools, childcare centres or public parks a large imaginative-play centrepiece. An angled cowcatcher, a timber plank climbing tunnel and a smokestack carry the character of a steam engine.

Children climb aboard the Jarrah play deck via a step ladder. They then shelter in the shaded cabin beneath a natural-edge weatherboard roof, at a steering wheel. The climbing tunnel gives an alternative crawling route in. A playground train on this scale anchors a yard. Public spaces sourcing park playground equipment often pair it with the Train Carriage Planting Box.

We handcraft each locomotive in our O’Connor WA workshop from locally sourced West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability). Custom-crafted timber wheels finish it, and each build varies slightly with the timber. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

Installation available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. On request, it can be built without a platform, in a smaller footprint for early learning centres and younger children. Talk to us about the Train for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Train need softfall surfacing?

Yes. The Train has a free height of fall of 1250mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

What age group is the Train for?

The Train suits children aged 3 years and over. Step ladder access leads to a Jarrah play deck, a timber plank climbing tunnel with metal bands runs through, and a shaded cabin with a steering wheel anchors the driving game.

Can the Train be extended or resized?

Yes. The Train couples with the Train Carriage Planting Box to extend the consist, and the locomotive can be made smaller for an early learning centre. Angled cowcatcher and smokestack details carry through at either scale of the finished build.
