Faller® "Top Spin" Carnival Thrill Ride
If you have ever been to a state fair or local carnival you will recognize this marvelous tummy tumbler. Faithfully recreated in incredible detail by Faller®, their Top Spin has all the gut wrenching spins and rolls of the original ride. With a drive motor and eight gears in each of the two support towers, the computer controlled gondola and support arms spin independently through a dazzling array of gyrations that are a marvel to behold. Authentically mounted on a semi-truck trailer with rubber tires, the Top Spin appears ready to be torn down and moved on to it's next destination.

Coaster Dynamix-"Phoenix" Roller Coaster Modeling System |
|
Coaster Dynamix® "Phoenix" Roller Coaster Modeling System
No stranger to innovation, Elkton, Virginia based Coaster Dynamix® has done it again with the introduction of their NEW "Phoenix" Roller Coaster Modeling System. With never before seen features, technology, precision and ease of assembly, "Phoenix" raises the bar in model coaster building design and entertainment.
Unlike it's 100% Flex-track equipped older siblings "Dragon" and "Scorpion", "Phoenix" includes only three Flex-track segments. These segments arrive pre-cut to size with redesigned end connectors already installed. In what are certainly the biggest and most ground breaking departures from previous models, the remaining track segments, representing the bulk of the track system, are injection molded and connected together using 120 screws and nuts. Sure, installing the many screws and nuts is somewhat time consuming but the payoff is definitely worth it. The result is extremely precise and the assembly process nearly infallible. Molded track sections and cross ties also make installing the familiar track rails a much simpler process.
Indeed, the "Phoenix" goes together flawlessly and, if one follows the instructions carefully, will function exactly as it should each and every time it is assembled. This assurance of positive results is in itself a major step forward in model roller coaster design and construction and makes "Phoenix" highly accessible to novice and experienced builders alike.

Pirates, pumps, palms, cannons, conveyors, swords and sails! This fully functional motorized and liquified HO Scale model from Faller® has got it all.

Over 950 precise and colorful parts are included, assembly is straight forward and only mildly challenging, and the level of detail is extreme all of which place Pirate Island arguably at the pinacle of model building entertainment.

If you are into model railroading, or have spent some time on our site, you certainly know about Faller® of Germany. If you are not, and haven’t, you may not. If you are, at the same time, someone who really likes to build really cool stuff, being unfamiliar with Faller® would indeed be unfortunate and is a situation MRCHQ would like to prevent. Why? Simply put, because there are no other working model kits in the world even remotely similar to Faller® kits in concept, detail, complexity, and sheer joy of model building. This is why we sell them, this is why we build them, and this is why if, you are anything like us, we want to introduce them to you. This brings us to the Music Express. This beautiful, HO scale (1/87) motorized thrill ride has all the right features to recommend it as your gateway to a wonderful miniature world. The difficulty is only moderate, detail is way up there, and it is a joy to build. The mechanism, with brass wheels, brass axles, and rubber tires is a marvel to construct and to watch in action.
