Miniature Model Train

  • miniature vignette by Grace GriffinMiniature Model Train
    2010 | Mixed Media | 4" x 4" x 2"

    This tiny toy train was commissioned by a friend as a gift for her boyfriend, who is crazy about trains. He's also a big fan of the Polar Express book and movie. This miniature railroad layout is 4" square (10.6 cm) and fits in a clear lucite box for display.

    I made the track entirely out of polymer clay. It has 210 individual railroad ties, each only 3/16" (4½ mm) wide. A hill and some trees complete the snowy landscape.

    The handpainted metal train is about 4½" (11 cm) long. It has three passenger cars and a coal car. The passenger cars are each just under an inch long and ⅜" (9 mm) tall, the engine is a little bit bigger.

    The engine has a tiny brass bell on it and a wee engineer in the window, although you can't really see that in the pictures. I used whiskers shed by my cat for some of the finest painting on the train (I knew I saved them for something!)
