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 rolls into the city that never sleeps with New York, a compact tribute to the unmatched energy of the Big Apple. This handcrafted diorama brings together the city's most iconic symbols: the soaring Twin Towers, the majestic Empire State Building, and a striking skyline that defines Manhattan’s silhouette. At the heart of it all lies a reimagined Central Park, where the Statue of Liberty proudly stands as a symbol of freedom. Surrounding the park, a classic New York subway train weaves its way through the scene, adding movement and urban rhythm. Every element in New York is carefully arranged to evoke the bold spirit and architectural legacy of the city. As with all MAXi Train creations, it blends storytelling, motion, and detail into a collectible piece that captures the soul of an unforgettable metropolis.

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.
