Waving Engineer in a Train Cab
Coloring guide
A smiling boy in a peaked conductor cap leans out of a steam locomotive's cab window and waves hello, so this page feels friendly right away. He wears overalls with straps, and his cap has a round badge on the front. Steam rises from the tall smokestack. The engine itself has a big round boiler, a round front light with a sunburst pattern, a small dome on top and a slatted grille at the front. Large spoked wheels with a connecting rod sit below, with a second wheel partly showing behind the first. Bold lines and big shapes make this free printable good for preschoolers and early elementary kids. A bright red boiler with a deep blue cap and overalls helps the little engineer stand out, and gray is nice for the smoke puff.

- 1Start with the big boiler body, cab walls, smokestack and front wheel hub in tomato red, leaving the smoke cloud white.
- 2Fill the cab roof, round front window ring, green dome stripes and wheel rims in lemon yellow, and the chimney cap and round boiler front in golden yellow.
- 3Color the cab window, engineer cap, big wheel spokes and skirt panels in bright blue, adding light blue to the cab window edge and the lower wheel spokes.
- 4Add the green dome, the engineer's face and waving hand in grass green and skin peach, then color the shirt and sleeve in pale blue and the overalls in dark blue.
- 5Finish the details: give the hair chocolate brown, the cap button lemon yellow, the mouth pink, and keep the eye whites and the smoke cloud white.
- 6Optional: add a little darker tone along the edges of the boiler and the wheels for a bit of depth.
