Ride Trains

Providing an inexpensive way for kids and adults to enjoy the great hobby of live steam outdoor railroads.  Check out our products and start enjoying 7.5/7.25" gauge model railroading.  Check out the power chassis page for our selection of power chassis, including the extremely popular MMC chassis.  Or if you want something ready to ride out of the box, take a look at the Mini Motor Car.  The goal was to make a small, inexpensive, and reliable electric speeder.  The Mini Motor Car has proved strong and reliable, racking up many miles.  With the LRV controls it is extremly easy to use and I've had everyone from the cable contractor to trick-or-treaters take it for a spin.  The 35T davenport is our first item based directly on a prototype but the components can be used for many things and everything will be available separately.

What's New

35 Ton Davenport!
The updated chassis components are now on hand and the mold for the complex hood front is on its way from the rapid prototyper.  I am very excited about this project as several years of work are finally paying off.  People have been asking for something prototypical and more powerful.  This new project has both in large quantity and for the incredible value you expect from Ride Trains.
