Rideable train set is the perfect gift for spoiled rich kids
Nothing quite says "rich children" like an indoor, child-sized train set that can move monied young lads around to their heart's content. Regular kids have to settle for tiny, toy train sets that they move around with their hands, but not rich kids! No, they get to ride their train sets.
Just look at this crazy hand-crank locomotive toy. For a cool $4,100 (plus $500 shipping), you get two trains and a 30-foot-diameter track to put them on. They can support kids who weigh up to 100 pounds, and they're propelled via hand cranks. And they'll make your kids obnoxious snobs. Just get them Legos like regular parents.

1. This doesn't have to be used for "rich children" only. I think you're way off base with your rash comments. This could definitely be something that day cares would greatly benefit from having, especially if they had some tracks that went around the playground, etc.

Bumper Trains any one?

$4100 and they're not powered? It seems like any handyman could make you something similar for a fraction of the price. Heck, take one of those powerwheel jeeps, mod it, and make a track. Presto, you've got a better version for a fraction of the price.
The shipping cost is precious too.

Geez, nice to see that "Class warfare" isn't dead. Was there some rich kid in your past Adam that wouldn't let you play with his rideable train or something?
