1930s goods train (button-operated) |
 |
| location: |
A gauge 0 1930's goods train that can be operated by visitors. There is a round white plastic button in Arch Three, alongside the Mickey Mouse leaden characters cabinet - pressing it will make this train run a single circuit around the 1930s layout.
Other than the locomotive (which is a modern ACE Trains version of a 1938 Q-series loco, to save burning out the motor on a real 1930s loco), the rest of the train is made up of genuine period 1930s Hornby Series rolling stock.
