Here is a photo of the Halberstadt Christmas market train. Note the power from the pole and wire.

Those coaches look very 'Gnomy' to me!

A tethered train! I'll bet the kids loved that - especially riding in the tender (or cab even?). An interesting variation of a fairground 'roundy roundy'!

Hm use a Bachman Gnomy set, convert the Loco so that all, wheels pickup, with the return via a permanent wire (as in the pic) and you could have a very reliable Piza Layout.
