It's the most affordable way to add a commercial-grade trackless train to your fleet without giving up the same core engineering as our larger packages. Every train is powered by a 22-24 HP twin-cylinder gasoline engine with a heavy-duty hydrostatic transmission, delivering smooth, tool-free starts and precise foot-pedal speed control up to a safe, factory-governed 5.2 mph. With 2 trailing cars (1 coal tender + 1 passenger car), each rated for 4 adults or 6 children at 550 lbs, the Starter Package is ideal for smaller events, new rental operators testing the market, or venues that don't need the full 4-car configuration. Locomotive and car colors are fully customizable, and the train ships built and tested in the USA. Key Features 22-24 HP Twin-Cylinder Gasoline Engine: Commercial-grade power with key-turn electric start and a heavy-duty hydrostatic transmission for smooth, controlled acceleration. 5.2 MPH Factory-Governed Top Speed: Ground speed is capped for passenger safety while still delivering enough pulling power for a fully loaded train. 9-Foot Turning Radius: Independent 2-wheel steering on the coal tender and passenger car lets the train track tight, winding event paths without drifting. Seat-Pressure Safety Interlock: The engine automatically shuts off if the operator leaves the seat without setting the parking brake — a built-in safeguard against rollaways. Secure Fork & Tongue Coupling: Every car connects with a 3/8" locking safety pin to prevent runaway carriages. Immersive Ride Accessories: Electronic steam whistle with three tone lengths, optional glycol-based smoke system, optional PA intercom with car speakers and handheld microphone, and a 12V headlamp for twilight rides. Full Customization: Choose locomotive and car color combinations, add custom decals or graphics, and select optional add-ons to match your brand or venue theme. Perfect for a Variety of Applications New Trackless Train Rental Businesses: The lowest-cost entry point into a commercial-grade trackless train fleet. Small to Mid-Size Private Events: Right-sized for birthday parties, backyard events, and smaller corporate gatherings. Community & Municipal Events: Parades, city festivals, and holiday events draw crowds with a charming train ride. Non-Profit & Fundraising Events: Sell ride tickets or offer rides as a donor incentive at charity events. Estates, Resorts & Private Venues: Add a compact, signature guest experience to smaller properties. Frontier Starter Package Includes:(1) Locomotive(1) Coal Tender(1) Passenger Car Built in the USA and backed by Beyond Tent's commercial support team, the Frontier Starter Trackless Train Package is engineered for repeat commercial use, season after season. Please note: Trackless trains are made to order with a 2-6 week lead time. The price shown is for the train only and does not include shipping, which is billed separately at time of shipment and typically ranges $750-$3,000 depending on package and destination.
