4.4 Miniature Train Project

Lionel Train Company has been losing profits over the last five quarters. Their researchers say that children are simply no longer interested in toy trains with video games and virtual toys at their disposal.

​

Your team has been asked to launch a new product – virtual train cars. Children can now download programs to create and customize their own trains with 3D animation. Lionel Train Companies need fresh, new designs for their virtual cars. Can you help them create the next generation of toy trains?
