Teeny little train perfect for miniatures!
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.

Must buy micro train set!
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.

You get what you pay for
Very cute, but cheaply made, and it is hard to turn it on and place it on the track without it falling off, not to mention attaching the other cars.. Track is hard to keep attached together. Love the size, wish it was just made a little better. Thumbs up on shipping, came very quickly.

The tin it comes in is cute
The train is cute but. It’s too powerful. It runs right off the track. I like the old fashioned tin it came in though. It’s cute it’s just way too fast

Fun and easy train for kids to play with at grandparents house
I bought this as a fun collectible for my husband, who is a train enthusiast. I also collect tins that have interesting things inside. In this instance, our grandson's loved the train inside so much, we bought two more as gifts for them. It was easy for our 5 and 11 year old to put together and play with, plus put away. They do need one double A battery that is not included.

Junky! Don't waste your money!
Junky piece of garbage! Crap crap crap! Pieces broke off in less than 5 minutes of play, the track was all wobbly and didn't even lay flat. Returning for sure!

Very well made for a mini train.

Cute idea
It's not very well made the track isn't very sturdy and the train falls apart if you play with it to long. Its good for the price I guess cute idea also

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
