I have to agree with #2 and #3 — it’s not a model train, and it only looks like one from the right angle. This is like me calling a fleck of lint a 1/100,000 scale model of a cloud, even though it’s not made of water.

@LeftyXBuffalo: yeah, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome! 7(^o^)7

genius solution for the movement! still, not quite a train. i doubt it would make the Guinness book of world records for “smallest model train”.

It’s not a actual model train! There are no individual cars, an operating engine, or anything else that would make it qualify as one. It’s a clever hack that sort of ~looks like~ a train. Sheesh!…

The idea of using a flexible plastic tube to achieve this effect is simply genius! Nice work!
