Here's the link to directions for the Wilton train cake pan. I'm sure you can order it on-line.

Since he is 3 years old, I was thinking just bake a cake in a rectangular pan, cut it up into sections like trains, frost it, and decorate it with his favorite toppings. For example, connect the trains with string licorice, add candy dots for windows..etc. I think it would be more fun to make your own cake for him.

To this day I remember my 4th birthday and cake. We were with my grandparents in Seattle and I had a "Lake Washington cake" with floating bridge, cars, sail boats, etc. Too pretty to eat.

A train cake will make a great impression! Great idea.
