Westminster Train in A Tin

Of course I forgot to get a pic, but I set this up to surround the "kitchy" Xmas centerpiece on the kitchen table. It is perfect for those Xmas villages, and maybe 1:44 scale miniatures. It was super cute and ran on the tracks just fine. It has to be on a solid FLAT surface. It's tiny, so getting each car connected to the other and with the wheels on the track just so.... can take a bit of patience and a steady hand, and when you turn it on, it takes off, which can make it all jump the track... patience!! Had to Figur our best way to do all that, but no big deal. I'm going to do a little crafting and make it more "Christmasy" for next year.

What an awesome little train set! I received the Peanuts Christmas’s tree as a gift and naturally every Christmas tree needs a train set. Unfortunately micro train sets are ridiculously expensive. Then I found this train set that comes in a tin can for a fraction of the cost. I was hesitant at first but am I so glad I bought it! It’s perfect for the tree! As if it were built with this tree in mind. I didn't need all the straight pieces so those now sit in the sweet little tin can. Is it the highest of quality? No. Does it work as advertised and truly bring a smile to your face the first time it goes around? Absolutely! Westminster Train in a Tin Can is a must buy if you’re looking for an inexpensive micro motorized train set. It does feel fragile so be easy with it and I can see it lasting a good while. If anything changes or breaks fairly quickly I’ll update the post.

This is a really cute train and a cute idea, but the track was a bit difficult to stay connected so I had to put a bit of tape on the backside of the connection, otherwise it kept breaking apart. After I got it all put together and the battery in the engine I put it all on the track and turned it on....traveled so fast the cars tipped over and fell off the track....cute idea and for the money, I guess you get what you pay for....so now it just sits stationary since it doesn't run well on the track, especially around the corners. Kinda sad...I was looking forward to it running through my Christmas village.

So cute

If you get this, the wheels have little stubs on them, you can pick them off with your fingernail. This helps keep the train on the track and Makes it run smoother. Also tape the bottom of the track to each other. And clean the track with Alcohol to get the factory oil off of it.The little on off switch can be bent outward to turn it on and off more easily.

After reading some reviews I decided to take the risk. I try to always write positive reviews but if I can save a parent or grand parent some frustration it will be worth it. This train is not worth 19.00 dollars. I can see it causing much frustration on Christmas morning if ordered for a gift. First the track had to be taped together on the back to stay together. The AA battery was almost too big for the spot it set in the train making it difficult to snap the train back together. Train would not stay on the track. The on switch is difficult to turn on while sitting on the track and impossible to get on the track once the wheels are turning. It will not pull all of the cars because of power issues. Fortunately I ordered it mostly for looks in a village I’m building but I’m very disappointed that it did not work. This is not a good product for a child and frustrating for an adult to work.

Having a desktop Christmas tree meant that if we wanted a train it would have to be extra small. This one ended up being the perfect size. Easy to assemble and get going. The track works best on a flat surface. Not sure why there are so many complaints. Other than the fact that some unfortunate people are getting defective ones. I think it’s great for the money.

What a peace of junk very poorly made I bet the original version of this product was good when it was first made

Buscaba un tren pequeño para complementar los adornos navideños de mi oficina y este producto cumple totalmente con lo que buscaba, es muy fácil de armar y funciona con una pila doble A.

Cute tin For the price it's a cool toy. Works with a battery.

Simpático tren de juguete para los pequeños.. Muy mal detalle que no le queda una pila AA que recomiendan para su uso..! Por tanto no se pudo usar..! Me conformé con lo genial de la caja de lámina y su acabado..!!! jajajaja

Simple basic toy train to have fun with. Everyone should have one.

Me acaba de llegar, a mi hijo le gustó mucho. Pero le hizo falta un vagoncito 🙁
