Train Birthday SVG

All aboard

A train ticket is the obvious shape for a train party, so this design is exactly that. The golden stub is on the left this time, with CHOO CHOO! on two lines. A row of navy perforation dots separates it from the main panel, where a little steam engine rolls along a navy track under a pale blue sky.

The engine has an orange cab with a white window and a teal roof, a long teal boiler with two golden bands, a round golden headlamp, a teal smokestack and an orange cowcatcher at the front. It runs on one big wheel at the back and two smaller ones under the boiler, all navy with white hubs. Three white puffs of smoke billow up above the stack.

Pieces and weeding

Solid, the design is 41 pieces with 7 cut-outs. Many parts are separate, from the smoke puffs to the wheel hubs, so it needs transfer tape for vinyl or a backing card for paper. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in ink navy: the ticket backing, outlines, perforations, the track and the three wheels
• White in cloud white: the smoke puffs, the cab window and the wheel hubs
• Sky blue in pale sky blue: the field behind the engine
• Sunshine in golden yellow: the stub, the boiler bands and the headlamp
• Orange in bright orange: the cab and the cowcatcher
• Ocean in teal: the boiler, smokestack and cab roof
• Lettering in ink navy: CHOO CHOO!

Sizes to cut

Below 4.5 inches the wheel hubs and perforations get too small. For mini tickets, use Print Then Cut.

Train party ideas

• Tickets at the door. Print a stack and have a “conductor” punch one for each guest as they arrive.
• A station sign with the birthday child’s name as the station.
• Engineer shirts in layered vinyl, or the solid file in one color for every guest.
• A row of carriages: cut several tickets and string them together along the wall as a long train.
• Cupcake picks printed and cut small; tape each one to a food-safe pick and take it out before serving.

Colors

A red engine with a black boiler looks like a classic steam train. Bright primary colors suit a toddler’s party. Our guide to changing SVG colors explains how.

Pairs well with

The Race Car Birthday ticket and the Dump Truck Birthday badge for a party of things that go.
