Tiny Trains
Hold an entire train layout in the palm of your hand! Tiny Trains™ carries the world's smallest running trains. A 40ft. box car is about 1/2 an inch long! A 60 ft. locomotive is about 3/4 inch long! Our smallest handheld layouts are 4" x 4" circle and a 4" x 7" oval. We can also cater to the avid collector with sizes ranging to tabletop layouts. Train models are available in:
Diesel and steam locomotives
European bullet nose
Passenger and freight
A wide variety of scenery options are also available including mountains, tunnels, rivers, bridges, lakes, roads with cars and trucks, houses, offices, telephone poles and other details in summer, winter, spring and autumn settings.
How do they run? A ladder rack plastic belt is pulled through the center of hollow square channel track by sprocket-drive motors. Attached to the drive belt is a copper tab that rides in a slit in the top center of the track. The locomotive sits on top of the copper tab and pulls other locomotives and train cars behind it. The train is kept on top of the track by clear plastic guard rails. Now the preferred method is Train Permanently Attached in which the entire train (all cars) are permanently attached to a long flexible acetate tab which is in turn attached to the drive belt inside the track; Guard rails are not installed.
