... glide along a 30′ diameter track. They are entirely kid-powered, with a simple hand-crank for each locomotive. The set includes two such trains, which can support a child that weighs up to 100 lbs.
This sounds like an awesome gift for a younger child, but due to the large size, I don’t see many children finding this under the tree on Christmas morning. Oh, then there’s that $4,100 price tag, and the $500 it will cost to have it shipped to your door.

DVICE Atom Feed —
... to settle for tiny, toy train sets that they move around with their hands, but not rich kids! No, they get to ride their train sets.
Just look at this crazy hand-crank locomotive toy. For a cool $4,100 (plus $500 shipping), you get two trains and a 30-foot-diameter track to put them on. They can support kids who weigh up to 100 pounds, and they're propelled via hand cranks. And they'll make your kids obnoxious snobs. Just get them Legos like regular parents.

"How do you start the train?" Timmy asked. "Oh, you crank it to go," the Baker explained. "A mechanical toy? You mean I have to work even more than I have my whole life?? Fuck that shit!" And with that, Timmy and the Baker parted ways, never to see one another again. [Hammacher Schlemmer via DVICE]
