Papa’s miniature model railroad is a unique resource supporting teachers with their curriculum by stimulating, challenging and involving students with a one-of-a-kind hands-on train layout. School children can observe, question, explore and also interact with Papa’s trains.

This unequalled railroad combines lights, sounds and movement and has a variety of structures, an urban and rural community, various modes of transportation and a working amusement park. There are illustrations of renewable and non-renewable energy sources and an array of shapes, forms, colours and textures.



An in-school presentation with primary or junior students can be used to spark imaginative learning promoting specific subjects or as a reward for class excellence. When learning is fun and connected to a child’s world, lasting memories are a positive reward.

Highlight your Christmas holiday season with Papa’s beautiful adaptation of the Polar Express. Every child will experience the sounds of a city, a fascinating journey through farm lands, a wild ride through a storm and, children playing and singing as their odyssey train ride travels to the North Pole.

Observe your students as Papa illustrates how literacy and numeracy assisted him in designing, building and operating his miniature railroad. He will remind all participating that patience and perseverance are required to be successful in school.
