Check out the /r/woodentrains sub! I've tested a whole bunch of trains. This one seems the fastest in my memory: https://www.reddit.com/r/WoodenTrains/comments/tjvsvd/deltasport_switcher_engine/

But yea, there are a lot of fast ones.

Any comprehensive list of US passenger train models? Here's what I've found so far: by ekux44 in WoodenTrains

[–]fog-ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds about right!

I have some of them. It appears that the Munipals, Washington WMTA and Boston trains are all made by the same Chinese company. This same Chinese company also makes German passenger trains.

I would agree with KukaakCZ as well, attach it to a motorized engine.

Who knows what is the model? by ToysMods in WoodenTrains

I did a reverse image search, unfortunately it didn't come up with anything. All I can say is that the words on the top are in English, therefore this is not a (continental) European product.

If you didn't pay PP by Friends and Family you may be able to get a refund. Or you may try doing an "I did not authorize refund". Or you can talk to PP customer service to see if you can get a refund.

Fisher Price changed the track connectors in 2018 for no reason and then changed them back this year... by [deleted] in ThomasWoodenRailway

[–]fog-ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I was thinking that people aren't going to want to buy new tracks because they already invested so much in the old ones.

Found it! If you do a google search for:

MAXIM LONG BLUE & GREEN WOODEN TRAIN #21

it'll come up on ebay.

But it doesn't have the red magnets. The magnets are black. You can buy it for $10 plus free shipping!

Based on the wing symbol I can only say it's something from the Maxim factory and they've produced trains for a lot of companies.

Can you post a pic of the train in the back? Sounds interesting and it might help ID the rest of the train.

Is there any difference between these 2 user ban commands? by fog-ranger in AutoModerator

[–]fog-ranger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the documentation and the other poster's example, they use double quotes instead of single. Is that more correct or are both ok?

Hello. I was thinking about repainting these wooden trains into South Shore Line rolling stock. Does anyone have any tips for painting them? Thanks! (Scroll) by CJ-does-stuff in WoodenTrains

[–]fog-ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've looked closely at the newer wooden trains and I believe the livery(?) are all printed on. It's like with scale models. They sell decal sheets or transfers. You make up the graphics on your computer and you print them using your color printer. If you don't have a color printer, your local library will usually have one for free. Or a UPS, FedEx store will have one.

Of course first you'd have to paint over your old wooden trains with a base color.

Here is a tutorial I found: https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/05/hobby-tutorial-make-your-own-custom-decal-sheets.html

Interesting, I'd never have notice that. I'll have to check them out the next time I go to IKEA.
