Introduction
Define the problem
This project was mainly creating parts of a train and assembling as well as dimension it so that the train can be assemble part by part to make a miniature train that can sit on a train track.

I went onto YouTube under Seth Ponder videos to look for the train tutorials on how to make each part step by step.

I showed my train some people and some gave me some advice and tips on what they would have like to seen out of the train. They mainly wanted to see more color out of the train because my train is all gold. One even said that if the train is made out of all gold how is it going to be able to ride on the tracks. it would be to heavy to go along the tracks. I saw where they were going with there point, but I did enlighten them to know that the train was made out of abs plastic which is light and the color of the train was just gold :)

the Present the solution
I did not have the best of luck making the train for this project. the train project was a bit of task for me i must admit. It took me almost 5 more weeks than expected to make the train project after the due date. I did have my ups and downs with the train project. Although making some of the parts was quite simple others were even more complex. I can draw these parts no problem asked, but when it comes down to making them on computer software and then dimension them, I did have a bit of a struggle to grasp the concept on how it all was supposed to be. I did have some parts that I had to make at home but when i went to transfer them over from one laptop to the other, I must say it didn't work out so well for me. So i even tried to just upload them from the computer that they were on to my Weebly and that didn't work out as planned so that would sum up why there is no pictures other than the full assembly of the train on this Weebly page. I did learn a lot of skills i guess by making the train project. I better learned how to assemble parts to make one whole part/product. So that was quite interesting. If you were to ask me would i do this project in particular again I would probably say no at first because of my first experience with a project like this one, but I just might but who knows. One thing that we had to make was a section view. A section view is pretty much view of a certain part of an object that shows you in better detail what that specific part of an object should look like.the purpose of the auxiliary view is to make the product appear in true size so they can be dimension. A broken view is for if you have a product that is to big to see in one view so they break it down into mainly two views, so that you can see the ends or major parts of the product that you wouldn't normally see in a normal view. The reason being for the use of symbols instead of words to describe the hole types, is because it helps you know what shape the hole is taking and it is much easier to have and read then a whole lot of words bunched together with a whole bunch of numbers. They are quick simple and to the point. The need for tolerances on a part is because if you didn't have them you could have know way of telling what the parts capacity for a hole would be if you were to put a screw in it. if the maximum tolerance is .5 but the screws minimum tolerance is .7 then you would mess up that part if you were to screw in the the hole, simply because the screw is to big.
