Here is the orginal article straight from
Book No. 4513, PRACTICAL DELTA PROJECTS
NEW & NOVEL THINGS TO MAKE, BOOK 13
DELTA MFG. DIVISION

HERE is a scrap wood project that the children will enjoy. All of the parts necessary for one complete unit are shown in photograph No. 4 below.
The bottom is sawed out of 3/8" stock. The front, back and sides are cut out and fastened in place with glue and small brads. The top is then tacked on and the front doors are cut and fitted in place. The unit will then look like the one shown in photograph No. 3.
The next step is to sand the whole thing to shape on the disk sander. The top is bevelled from the center out and the front and back corners are rounded off. The wheels are then turned on the lathe as shown in photograph No. 2.
The headlights and any other small details such as seats may be added if you desire. The whole thing is then painted in bright colors, or to match the public transportation in your own city.
