An old favourite is our delightful, brightly coloured play train. Eddie the Mini Engine is part of our ¾ size locomotive set which is more suitable for the small user. Ideal for the train enthusiast, link together our assortment of items to create your own themed railway including platform and station buildings, which can be constructed and themed as one-off items.

Eddie the Mini Engine dimensions 1.8m x 0.9m

• Timber construction
• HDPE Panels
• Recommended safety area 5m x 4.5m

Most of our vehicle play items are ‘place and play’ they are ready to deliver and place directly onto your current surface, or manufactured with a frame to bury easily into a loose fill surface.

What is Eddy the Mini engine made out of?

Panelled with minimum 15mm thick HDPE Panels – guaranteeing you no painting, no splintering, no cracking. Simply wash with warm soapy water and wipe over when needed.

FSC certified high grade European red wood base & frame that has received a Gold Award winning 30 year treatment.

Can I choose the colours?

Yes you can. We have a great selection of colours to choose from.

Over the years customers have chosen colours to suit their favourite trains or locomotives, or you can choose to match your company branding.

Can I add my branding to Eddy?

Yes. The sides of the engine lend themselves perfectly to showing off your branding and making your little engine bespoke to you.

All we need is a high resolution image (Vector image) of your branding or chosen image and we can do the rest.

What does FSC certified timber mean?

Forest Stewardship Council. The forests have to prove that they are managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable manner and we’re proud to choose this long lasting timber.

What fixings do you use?

Stainless Steel Fixings throughout, means no rust even in the harshest of weather

Do I need a safety surface?

Technically, all our ‘place and play’ vehicle style items can be placed on well kept turf without a safety surface, however, once that turf is worn, it is no longer a sufficient safety surface. That is why we recommend fitting a safety surface from the beginning as it saves you money and time by adding it at a later date.

Delivery: 

Most of our vehicle items are delivery only with the ability to simply ‘place and play’

Can I install Eddy the Engine myself?

Yes, you can. Eddy comes as a fully assembled unit. It is very heavy so you will need a telehandler or similar machinery with a competent driver to unload the lorry it travels on and carefully place in to position.  Once Eddy is in position, unwrapped and checked over, it is ready to be enjoyed.

What other equipment works well with the Trailer Slide?

Could I add more train related play items at a later date?

Yes, of course you can. If you make a dream plan of how you want your play area laid out in the future, you can add equipment as & when it suits you and your budgets. Eddy the Engine is very happy on his own or within a larger play scheme.
