Read the full guide

Engines first

The Steam locomotive opens the page: 102 squares on the easy grid, 51 of them black, with a red cab and a blue puff of smoke. The Diesel engine is blue with a yellow stripe, and the Bullet train is red under an overhead wire.

Count the black crayons

Black is in the key of all 8 pictures at both sizes: wheels, rails, coal, the clock. Choose Detailed 24 by 24 under Size and the Passenger coach becomes the longest sheet at 472 squares, with 5 windows and a door.

Print engines and cars at one size, cut out the grids and tape them side by side: the rails meet.
The Station clock is the quickest sheet, 47 squares on the easy grid, and its hands show three o'clock.
No engine here has a face or a name: these are plain railroad engines and cars.

Questions and answers

Which train picture has the fewest crayons?

On the easy grids the Coal car, the Crossing signal and the Station clock need 3 each. The Steam locomotive, the Bullet train and the Passenger coach need 5, the most an easy grid uses.

Do the sheets really join into one train?

The track does, once the grids are cut out. It lies on the bottom two rows of every easy engine and car and the bottom four of every detailed one, so grids of one size taped side by side share it.

Which trains are in the set?

Three engines: a Steam locomotive, a Diesel engine and a Bullet train. Three cars: a Coal car, a Passenger coach and a Caboose. A Crossing signal and a Station clock stand beside the track.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, no picture shows a brand, a logo or a railroad company's colors, and none shows an engine from a book, a show or a film. The color and square counts in each description were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
