A safe and easy to build, cheap, entry level trolley for kids from 2 to 10 years of age.
This is a "ONE design" trolley built almost entirely from a single sheet of 12 mm construction plywood.
This will be a great project for you and your kid and will get them interested in the Derby and some basic construction techniques.
They will also get a chance to race in a One-Off Class against each other each year at the Derby.
