MAXi Train is a remix based on the Mini Train Collection of BamBam Design, applying a 2.5x upscale ratio to make it maxiiii…

 

The MAXi Train series ventures deep into the heart of the jungle with Lost City, a miniature tribute to the mystery and grandeur of ancient civilizations. At its core rises a majestic Mayan temple, surrounded by scattered stone relics and fragments of a long-forgotten empire. A towering totem and a weathered stone arch frame the scene, the latter serving as a gateway for a vintage steam locomotive that winds its way through the ruins. Dense clusters of tropical trees and palms evoke the untamed wilderness, while scattered stones hint at centuries of history slowly reclaimed by nature. The train’s gentle motion brings life to this silent city, adding rhythm to the stillness and drawing the eye through every detail. As with every MAXi Train creation, Lost City blends architecture, storytelling, and motion into a compact collectible that captures the spirit of adventure and discovery.

 

This new design is based on the Mini Train Collection of BamBam Design (https://linktr.ee/bambamdesign). This model is 2.5X bigger than usual BamBam Design Mini Train Collection. You are free to adapt the scale if you want to make it compatible with other designs. In this case, be aware that some piece might be very small and also make sure to also apply the same ratio for magnets. Apply a 40% or 0.4 ratio to be compatible with BamBam Design Mini Train Collection.

Steps:

 

1. Insert 3pcs magnets (10x5mm) in the trains (Steam Train).

5. Fix the terrain to the base by using a bit of glue to combine.
