I do not have ready access to the streetcar unit itself. It is presently stored with the Christmas decorations. I researched this purchase before making the commitment because I also wanted a train or streetcar type unit that would fit into the Dickens Christmas Village character. I set up this streetcar, associated track and it's streetcar maintenance unit and it appears to be an excellent match in scale and speed of operation. The streetcar will move from the storage unit to the opposite end of the track and automatically return. The speed of the streetcar is also adjustable and I would recommend this set for anyone having a Dickens Christmas village scene. I do not have ready access to the streetcar unit itself.

The trolley fits great scale wise, with our Lemax villages. This Bachmann On30 trolley is basically about as tall as an O gauge trolley, but it runs on HO track. So you have a lot more flexibility to run it in a smaller area. If you want to add extra track, it has to be the Auto Reverse track.

We use ours with the Dickens Christmas Village and are thrilled with it. The only problem we had is that the shed contains the controls and is ugly and too big. That might be able to be "fixed" by disassembling the shed but we simply hid it at the edge of our display and turned it into a snow bank. Buy it! You will love it!

Quick measurements from Bachmann customer service: 3-1/2" high x 6" long. My comment: Width of the wheelbase is HO scale. We set this up annually with our Dept. 56 (et al manufacturers) village and it looks perfectly scaled.

Looks perfect with my village from Lowe's. I added a lot of extra track, more than 20 feet, and it will still work. It is very fragile, however, and won't run if there is any dust on the tracks. I find it actually works best if it allowed to run continuously, which I can do because my village is on a room-length ledge and out of the way. The shed for the controls IS ugly and too big, but I have mine hidden in a "snow tunnel." You can remove the controls from the shed, which makes them easier to hide. It does not come with much track but extra track (curved and straight) is easy to find. Looks perfect with my village from Lowe's.

I need to update this -- the take-n-play trains do not fit. Sorry, it really looked like they would, but when I held one up to it just now, they are a little too tall.

It is 11 and 1/8 inches exactly, if you have that much room you will be fine! ;) Merry Christmas! :D

Well, I have a a large decorative pot approximately 3+, ft. tall filled with soil and a 5-6 ft tall Japanese Bloodgood Maple tree. The trolley is stable and still rolls effectively on my front porch. I would have preferred that the trolley was a bit wider, however no problems so far.

It's not very big. The one we bought didn't work, we had to return it, there was a disappointed little girl on Christmas morning.

gosh its big, I would say the dimensions of the box are the dimensions of the actual trolley its just folded and the wheels are not attached. so look for dimensions for height and width, not much extra bulk because the wheels are laying in the box on their sides. hope this helps

Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready. I asked if it will fit ho model railway and they said yes. But the car itself is actually bigger then a g gauge train. Lol. It's about 300 mm long and about 150 mm wide. It's just a toy car that has the rail wheels tucked up ready for use as in the movie. But they don't move up or down. Anyways it just a big model car with a bad description. If you want one ill sell you mine for half the price I paid, it's never been opened and probly never will. Lol. Ok I hope I helped you not fall into the same trap I fell into. As I thought it'd look awesome running around my track. Ok. Maxx

It's small, about the size of a matchbox car. Do you need me to measure it?

8 3/4 inches long,5 1/4 inches wide (wheel exterior)& 3 1/2 inches high. Well made, hope it fits!

I have not put mine out yet this year but I believe the engine and cars are about 10 to 12 inches long and maybe 7 inches tall. Sorry but thats at least an estimate.

It's pretty big. We have a skirt around our Christmas tree and the track extends beyond it.

The train is perfect for our Christmas village. We run it about 11 feet and it will run back and forth all day long at varied speeds. It is worth every penny. Well made and reliable.

Im sorry, its all packed away in my Christmas stuff but it is approximatly 14" wide and 16 " high. I love it. It was much bigger than I expected and the quality is great.

I have not built mine yet but I can look it up in my plans when I get home. I do not know the actual width of the original. It would be hard to say because it has been restored. I can only tell you what the plans estimate its value to be

It is HO scale, so it's 87 times smaller than the real locomotive. It, of course, is not powered. It measures 58 mm from the bottom of the wheel flanges to the highest point on the top of the cab. That converts to 2.28 inches high for the model and 19.87 feet for the real thing.

Good Morning, The track size is 40" x 60" oval and yes you can buy extra cars. Lionel made a Peanuts christmas car last year 2012 and may still be available. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains

It's smaller than 5 by 7. I don't have it to measure because I bought it as a stocking stuffer for my grandson and it fit easily in his Xmas stocking. The size is more like 4 1/2 by 6. It is charming. I can tell you this, he LOVED it!
