A four-wheel-drive diesel train for parks, farms, and town centers, carrying 30 to 60 passengers. Built in Naples, Florida, with typically short delivery times.
Every amusement park train for sale promises capacity. On an outdoor route, the terrain decides whether it delivers. Grass, gravel, and grades slow a train that was not built for them.
The TDK50 / TDJ50 is built for exactly that ground. Both locomotives run permanent four-wheel drive and a diesel engine. They share the same body, cabin, boiler shell, and cowcatcher, so the train looks identical whichever engine you choose.
You choose the engine platform: Kubota on the TDK50, John Deere on the TDJ50. You choose two, three, or four FL15 coaches. The configuration follows your route, not a fixed package.
| Configuration | Passengers |
|---|---|
| Locomotive + 2 FL15 coaches | 30 |
| Locomotive + 3 FL15 coaches | 45 |
| Locomotive + 4 FL15 coaches | 60 |
Each coach seats 15 passengers on five benches, three adults per bench. The wheelchair option goes on the last coach, which then carries 10 passengers including the wheelchair position. Four coaches need a paved or hard surface; on grass and rougher terrain, the train runs up to three.
Both locomotives carry the same body, cabin, and standard equipment, and require the same investment. The difference is the engine platform underneath.
