A Burlington Northern freight train ( HO Scale ) uses light fixture to make its way through the living room.


To get it up and going was certainly not easy.

Some measures turned out to be necessary to prevent derailment :

- All wheelsets were measured, adjusted and then glued in a jig to achieve accurate gauge
- Kadee metal coupler were mounted on all cars and engines
- Mid train helpers were added to avoid straightlining
- All cars ahead of the helpers were weighed down to 200 grams
- All engines lost weight due to weight limit on the track
