  • Our take on the Metra MP36 Diesel Engine

    A wooden toy locomotive modeled on Metra's MP36 diesel, the modern engine that pulls Chicago-area commuter trains. It is handcrafted, painted with non-toxic finishes, and sized to run on Brio, Thomas Wooden Railway and other major wooden track systems. It suits young railfans and adult collectors who want a recognizable Metra engine to pair with bi-level coaches. Against generic wooden engines, it trades licensed-character styling for prototype accuracy and a sturdier keepsake feel.

    About the Metra MP36 Diesel Engine

    This wooden toy engine is modeled after the Metra MP36 locomotive, a newer generation of diesel power used on Chicago-area commuter trains. Its larger, more modern profile pairs with Metra's bi-level coaches.

    It is handcrafted by railfans as a durable, child-friendly toy. Safety and durability come first in the design, and the look and spirit of the real train inspire the details. Because it is handmade, size may vary slightly.
