Tiny Trains Model Railroad in a Glasses Case

[twdtinytrains]

Trains, Track and inner base is Styrene (painted and decal details), Scenery is styrofoam with crushed foam flocking, acrylic paints, cardstock buildings.

how the hell did you make this?

[OghamTheBold]

Be cool - if you pulled the tab - inserted it in the other side - to form a looped toothed belt

Tiny motor and LiPo battery to pull it - train would disappear around the back of the case (no track or guide needed if the belt was correct) - and the train would reappear

[shoangore]

Hmm what if you made it into a wind-up toy with delayed tension release? Eg, those wind up toys. I imagine the tension power is enough to drive a a small gearbox hooked to a belt feed (think: cassette tape speed). This could be small enough to fit into a 'large barn' looking object. Just sayin'.

[twdtinytrains]

You put the glasses on so you can see the little trains!  Thanks!

[fixedgearplanet]

i don't get it. where do you put the glasses?

[trainzaholic]

[Showgirl7able]

This reminds me of something like an antique toy, something you could travel with and be entertained. I love it, to be put on WISH LIST!

[RailFanSeattle]

Way too cool. Want one so bad

[morningiggle]

Place a Magnet under the box and move the train forward/backward. THUMBS UP ;)

[IstvanN1961]

Cute!

[DanTheCaptain]

i like! one problem thought. didn't you think of making the train go around in a oval shape and be electronically operated? that would be so cool!

[twdtinytrains]

@DanTheCaptain Thanks for your comment. We would like to make this one run on a loop of track, but the area inside the glasses case is too small and the track curves would need to be too sharp. We do have other layouts (same 1:900 scale trains) that run on 4" dia circle or 4"x7" oval track. Just look at our other youtube videos or tiny-trains "dot" net Thanks!

[BurgerChefGuy]

[ronniereiff]

[ksharkey1000]

[Trainbrain1949]

[dreamdextreme]

[trainlover479]

[TheCaptain008]

[MBrostroem]

Cool! :)

[natezemanek]

This is 50 bucks ?

[twdtinytrains]

$55.00 includes shipping

[MrTrickBike]

@natezemanek i know that is a rip

[Sillyzombie666]

i'de buy it but its not powered so the $50 price tags a lil much but then again it's cheaper than a g scale boxcar

[OriginalAlphathewolf]

@Sillyzombie666 This statement in itself is why I feel bad for model railroading. Everything costs from, if your in a junk shop mainly, 20 up to 500-600. I stopped buying model trains when MTH put out the steam locomotives I always wanted but the price was in the 100-200 range. Way out of the hands of a teenager.

[Sillyzombie666]

@OriginalAlphathewolf ya i know what you mean but with g scale my family has gotten some gret deals. years ago the marshels clothing chain was selling lgb toy train brand at ok prices then they were selling $100 sets for $20 $50 cars for $3imean my dads friend had like 7 toytrain cow engines lol

[TrainTrackTrav]

"yep, look closely and you'll see..."

"crunch"

"SHIT!"

[railfan456789]

It is interesting. But I think you REALLY REALLY REALLY have to LOVE trains to get one.

[peggey707]

amazing!

[howarth004]

bit too small for me I would`nt be able to see it, but interesting
