Nothing to tap, spin or swipe. A Rio Grande GP40 and two Western Pacific gondolas, stopped between short bumpers at 1:160. Leave the cars empty, or decide what they carry.

Decision Complexity · D(C)

XD — You and the thing.

Unfidget. Something for your brain to settle on.

It is a small machine and two open cars, with no prescribed scene around them. Rearrange the display, imagine a load, or simply let the train sit while the work stalls.

Lineage

Made by Atlas (locomotive and gondolas) and Kato (track) · Arranged by Hexmonde

Atlas's GP40 carries Rio Grande's black and orange livery. The two ACF 70-ton gondolas carry Western Pacific markings. Kato Unitrack gives the consist a ballasted display bed.

Open Cars

A gondola is a freight car built around an open space. Here, that space is yours to interpret. Leave the cars empty or give them a small desk object to carry.

Desk Trains

Why a model train, and why on your desk: Desk Trains, for the Hexed.
