In the picture to the left it shows
an old fashioned steam engine
train which is the same engine
that we will use for the head of
our train in the PLTW 2010
period 7 class. I have decided to
make an old fashion passenger
car.
In this design the car has an extra
little room on the top of the car. I
like it because it gives the car a
different shape then the standard
train car of today.
In this design the roof is extended
over the car a little. I like it
because it gives it that old
fashioned look.
2. In this design I like the
stairs and porch. They
make it different from
the trains of today.
In this design I like the way the
door sides. It looks easy to move
and makes it look realistic.
In this design the car is
open to the air not closed up
like other train cars. I like it
because it is old fashioned
and different from other
cars.
3. In this design I like
the rounded roof it
makes it look nicer
and unique.
In this design the car
has doors which
makes me like it
because it makes it
look realistic and is
officent.
In this design there is a
strip on the roof. I like
it because it adds well
to the look of the car.
4. In this design there is a
circular fan on the roof. I like
it because it makes the roof
look out of the ordinary and
makes me think that the car
would be nice and cool in the
hot summer months.
The bumps on the top
of this car makes it
have a unique shape
and kind of makes it
look like a caterpillar.
The form of this car
having a storage space,
door and passenger area
makes it look efficient
and makes me like it.
5. The extra set of wheels on
this car is what I like about
this car. They make it
I like the way this window is
pulled out. It gives the car
shape. It makes it unique.
I like the way the
windows are formed
on this train. It
makes me think that
if I was inside it
would have lots of
natural light.
