"Wind-up Train Book": a model train little toy world (3 of them) inside a children's book
Here’s something different, and maybe a Christmas present.
It's a mechanical train-set that offers three micro worlds to live in, as if they were O'Neill nodes on a space station.

Usborne Farmyward Tales presents the “Wind-Up Train Book
with Model Train and 3 Tracks”.
It is illustrated by Stephen Cartwright. It’s based on stories
by Heather Amery, designed by Helen Woodm rewritten by Alex Forth, edited by
Gilliam Dpherty, with additional illustrations by Erica Harrison and Non
Taylor.
There are three layouts where a windup engine can run and
switch directions through loops, which is not possible when a rail is
electrified. You could prove mathematical theorems about how many times a train
can change directions in a particular.
Maybe you could make a toy like this with a true Mobius strip.
I bought this at the Greenberg trains show at Dulles Airport in Virginia.
There is an ISBN 978-0-7945-2192-9.
