Table-Top Railroading

TT in action

We finally managed to get the start of a TT railroad. Here's the first of it: a small 0-8-0 locomotive of German design, German flat cars with containers and an oval of track. Two of the five cars were all we needed to start. It ran on a coffee table the first time. Our hope is to eventually build a small TT display railway which can run two or three such trains simultaneously.

Amazing detail on these tiny trains!

Here are the four-wheeled German flats carrying little containers.

Yes, the container doors even open!

A decorative stone cottage serves as "scenery."

Detailed piston gear is evident. Germans paint the underside of their trains red.

Note the red underside. Germans claim that on real trains, red makes inspection easier. More likely, they don't want to waste left over red paint.

Obviously, "Table-Top" applies for these unique little trains.
