My Chofu town railway

Description of Invention

I reproduced the townscape of Chofu where I was born and grew up using cardboard, colored paper and paper boxes. A chain made of thick paper, straws and aluminum wire is arranged in the miniature town to represent a train railway. When its switch is turned on, drive gears located at the center of the miniature town start rotating and move the entire chain. A four-car miniature train with movable connections fixed on a part of the chain can thus be moved along large and small curves.
