There is also a slightly larger version of this kinda thing from Hallmark. It's pretty old but I have it and it also has a couple tiny trains that go in a circle and back and forth. It even has a tiny speed controller for direction!
Oh goodness, this unlocked some memories for me. I was soo invested in Lionel as a kid. I had that crossing coin bank, I had multiple sets of trains from them, I even had this keychain, and while I don't remember having the Thomas version, I do remember having the little itty bitty Thomas from it for many years afterwards (actually I think I might still have it, I'm not sure).
This is something that I did not know I needed in my life. I’m gonna see if I can find one on eBay. Also love your videos keep up the great work man I could only wish to make a video with someone as amazing as you.
I got one of these for Xmas back in 1999. I'll have to see if I can find it. It was certainly cheaper than having an O scale trainset! LOL My dad had the HO version of the explosive boxcars and missile cars (from the opening ad) from when he was a kid. I remember playing with those as a child as well. I thought they were a pain to set up (but they look very cool!)
Trouble is, that Thomas version has some shotty workings inside it. I had mine only a short time before the gear pin screwed up. (That's that long tab on that hooks to the keychain).
I used to have the Thomas keychain. I loved it! Pretty sure I got it at a Day Out with Thomas event, but I believe it was dropped broke open, though I could be wrong…
OH MY GOSH! I had that keychain when I was a kid and thought it was the greatest thing ever! I had it on my backpack in kindergarten, and one day, some of my stupid classmates started playing with it when I left my backpack unattended for, like, twenty seconds, and they broke it! That was like the most upset I ever got in kindergarten.
If you were able to translate the scale of that to a 1:1 scale, how fast would that dinky Santa Fe loco really go? (For those few that don't know, 1:1 means 1 meter = 1 meter, or in other words, scaled realistically. 1 schoolbus = 1 schoolbus. I didn't think of any examples lmao) {IT'S REAL-SCALED. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY}
I dont know if this is true, but their is a train set even smaller (at least the trains) train set of a miniuture bulding with incredibly small trains inside the bulding (santa fe super chief and NYC Hudson freight train. And the best part is it fita in perfectly with a lionel o gauge layout. Its basically o gauge ception. A lionel o gauge layout inside a lionel gauge layout. ITS GREAT!!!
Why James be looking so mad. But that's the smallest train ever. Anyway ur the best. And I'm going to buy a Harvey and make him a ho scale train u got any thoughts on what I need to use
You know, they could've easily just had the track be a perfect circle and thus the mechanism would just be a simple part that rotates. But instead, they went the extra mile and made the track an oval so the train cars have to be able to articulate around it.
You would go broke if you went into O SCALE. Our Hudsons go for $1,700.00. And a Vision Line 4000 Class goes for $2,800.00. I buy yearly and it’s like owning a Lamborghini basically. And maintenance costs are high as fuck as well.
I absolutely love this keychain it beats every single realistic model, layout in my opinion.
I actually saw a thomas version of this great video!
noicr
I didn’t even know this existed!
I know someone who used to have one of the Thomas ones
Believe it or not I actually have the thomas version!
I used to have the Thomas version.
Amazing little Santa Fe pull-back set! I have the Thomas version of this.

Whoever made this keychain needs an award of some kind
this is something i never thought i needed till i saw it.
SAME
I had this exact Keychain when I was a kid...probably still have it come to think of it. Thanks for the memories!
I must have this fine specimen for my collection!
I have two of these that both worn! Great little keychains
I HAVE THE SANTA FE DESERT ONE‼️
I didn't think anyone else even knew about these lol
Dang Lionel made alot of crazy stuff.
Love your videos keep them coming
That Santa Fe train’s still bigger then Xs on mobile game ads
Yo, that is really such a fun little novelty piece you have, I want one like that myself
Its always a banger when trainboy uploads
This is a fantastic find - now there is something else I have to track down (including the Thomas one 💀💀☠☠)
Honestly, I've been a Lionel guy for who knows how long, and this keychain makes me love them more. I really want to pick this up now.
I HAD ONE WHEN THEY CAME OUT!!! Aaaahhhhh flashback!!!! Thanks man this is awesome!
If world's smallest Thomas could have so much detail, Mattel could have added white running boards and painted buffers.
"20 minutes, that's a lot of focus." Facts
BRO I need the Thomas version of that ASAP. As a keychain collector, I just ADORE these kind of things!
My grandma still has an old Lionel train from when she was little
This is something that I did not know I needed in my life. I’m gonna see if I can find one on eBay. Also love your videos keep up the great work man I could only wish to make a video with someone as amazing as you.
Very cool to hear the history of this
Bro you literally uploaded JUST as i finished cooking my dinner

That’s awesome
I honestly hope one of these days I can find one
It would be a super cool edition to the collection
I can’t believe this actually exists, I MUST get this keychain!
I use to have that Keychain as a kid and played with so much until it broke sadly :(
Brilliant! I'm half expecting Road Runner to run across it, clossely followed by Wily E. Coyote...
I had one of these in the early 00s!
Nice video Train Boy
We appreciate the adult swim style intros
Never knew this existed till now, I need one now
Trouble is, that Thomas version has some shotty workings inside it. I had mine only a short time before the gear pin screwed up. (That's that long tab on that hooks to the keychain).
Lionel, good o-gage stuff, but expensive. Also, now I need this key chain.
I used to have the Thomas keychain. I loved it! Pretty sure I got it at a Day Out with Thomas event, but I believe it was dropped broke open, though I could be wrong…
That’s cool
Great video

I love it too! 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
I love modle trains 😊. But how did you keep just the Tomas
Yes long live TOMAS 😂
Honestly if the train was a little slower, i'd love it, but still it's really cool as is
Forget peas in a frying pan, being in one of these coaches would be like popcorn kernels in a boiling pot!
I don’t know 25 dollars for a novelty item seams a bit much.
I had one of these and a Thomas keychain!
WHAT'S UP BRO. . . Wait. . . Bro, they make those? Itty bitty EMD F7 from the Santa Fe railroad, noice.
Hey, Trainboy, if you're doing more "day out with Thomas" vids... I have some good pics!
How does this size compare to T Scale?
5:30
I had one of these, I'm afraid to say I busted it. Wish I didn't. Do they still make these
Sadly I don't think so? However ample were made and they're common on eBay! :)
whats the music on the end

{IT'S REAL-SCALED. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY}
I think I remember seeing one of these but the theme was Thomas.
I got a train in a Christmas Ornament it works has two trains and can run for a long time
There is a thomas one on offer up
My uncle rod has one of these!
I dont know if this is true, but their is a train set even smaller (at least the trains) train set of a miniuture bulding with incredibly small trains inside the bulding (santa fe super chief and NYC Hudson freight train.

IIII NEEEEED IIIIIT
Why James be looking so mad. But that's the smallest train ever. Anyway ur the best. And I'm going to buy a Harvey and make him a ho scale train u got any thoughts on what I need to use
That’s not Thomas, that’s a Thomoeba
Well, this makes n scale look like g scale!
I think it's funny he uses Thomas Sanders' catch phrase a lot lately, "Guys gals and non-binary pals" lol It's funny because I love both of them!
I used to have the Thomas version of this but I lost it.
They really do be teensy tiny little guys.
Hi
Even though Lionel are a very American model, especially with the weird third rails, I still kinda want NGL. But I'm in the UK.
You know, they could've easily just had the track be a perfect circle and thus the mechanism would just be a simple part that rotates. But instead, they went the extra mile and made the track an oval so the train cars have to be able to articulate around it.
I have smallest lionl Keychain of it and it works
I love toy trains video pls...
Damn I’m early again-
If I see this for $10-$15, it’s on sight
I have the thomas version of this
I SWEAR I HAD THIS!
The Thomas and friends Thomas and anime and clarbell was the first one of this cechan
I wonder who wants to buy one now
Mine sadly doesn't work anymore
S M O L L T R A I N
I still love you saying “Guys, Gals, non binary pals” 😂
I have that 1:55
Reject all other scales. It's about Micro Scale modelling now
You would go broke if you went into O SCALE. Our Hudsons go for $1,700.00. And a Vision Line 4000 Class goes for $2,800.00. I buy yearly and it’s like owning a Lamborghini basically. And maintenance costs are high as fuck as well.
I don’t want to buy it
I NEED TO BUY IT
23 hours and 44 mins till this is 24 hours or 1 day old
I absolutely love this. I must have one 😃
Lionel did the absolute impossible
I own the Thomas version
I have a layout I’m expanding on
Welp, I think I know how to spend my money
i have it.
I got mine for $5 brand new 😬
HEY I HAVE 1 OF THOSES 2

Tiny little bounce and it is just gone.
Lionel made a hobby store operating accessory in o scale that has a miniature train layout in the window
Bros tiny
Boneless pizza
I've had a ton of them some of them were steam passenger train steam freight and diesel freight and that one diesel passenger train
