Say hello to our electric train
Woo, woo – our Enchanted Railroad has a new train! After many years and generations, we have upgraded to an electric train.
Inspired by the “Little Giant”
Our current electric train is modeled after a 450hp, 50-ton locomotive. Affectionately nicknamed the “Little Giant,” the train that inspired our 3-3/4-scale version retired from the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1960.
High-tech electric
The new train is electrically powered and uses a sophisticated electronics system that automatically adjusts power to maintain its speed on hills.
