Our completely TRACKLESS Train, as the name indicates, has a gas-powered locomotive and can travel over most flat surfaces including grass, cement or asphalt. Tour your party site, take a lap around the block, take a ride around the parking lot or shuttle your guests. An ideal location would be a parking lot or residential street free of vehicular or pedestrian traffic for the safest operation. If you have a child who watches Thomas the Train, I bet they have turned into a train fanatic! Imagine that little one seeing this train! The smile on their face will show they are ecstatic! Complete choo choo train whistles, music too! Your child will have a ball!
