Thanks Guys you have always been most helpfull

Answer 1

Can't help with the tin, but can help you make a train cake.
Use a jam/jelly roll for the front, on a rectangle block for the front. A block of cake for the back and round biscuits in two sizes, for the wheels. Carriages can be made out of cake rectangles, with biscuits for wheels. Icing in coordinating colours to join and finish the cakes. Decorate with lollies and biscuit "logs" in the coal truck. Liquorice can be used for tracks. Maybe write a number 1 on the engine.

Answer 2

I can't help you with a train pan. I do have a site that shows many train cakes that people have made. If you find one you like, click on the photo to enlarge it and get the directions how it was done. I hope you find one you can do.

I don't have a train cake pan, but I found this great recipe that uses miniature bread pans. It's adorable:
