I always wanted a steam train that actually moves to decorate the Christmas tree, but I was never able to find what I was looking for exactly. Enter the Christmas Tree Express!

• Steam train with cars that rides around a circular railroad track
• Train with moving wheels and coupling rods
• Running on a total of 13 cogwheels
• Including a cute and highly detailed train station

24/12/21: update! Added cars, optimized tolerances and reduced rolling resistance

Watch the teaser movie here:

DISCLAIMERS:

• The train is designed to run on a flat surface. Putting it in a Christmas tree is possible but comes with a challenge to lay the tracks level. This can be particularly challenging in a real tree. If not level, irregularities can cause the train to get stuck
• Don't let the train ride unattended - always disconnect if from the power source before leaving the room
• Please use the included print profile and follow the assembly guide

Troubleshooting if your train doesn't run smoothly

• Install it on a flat surface or make sure the tracks are as level as possible
• If installed in a Christmas tree: 
  • Make sure the train station is well supported below the signal cabin. Attach a piece of rope to the hook at the backside of the signal cabin base and hang it on a higher branch of the tree. This will increase support of the base to carry the weight of the TT motor
