Thoughtful Choices Lead to Lasting Experiences
Adding a trackless train to your venue is exciting. It’s a way to unite people, enhance your space, and offer something truly memorable to your guests.
But like any meaningful investment, it’s worth taking a moment to ask the right questions—not just about specs and pricing but also about the people, purpose, and performance behind the product.
Based on over 30 years of experience working with venues like yours, we’ve listed the 7 most important questions to help guide your process.
Is the Train Safe—And Certified to Prove It?
When families step aboard, you want to be confident in the safety of what you’re offering; beyond looks, the structure, materials, and engineering matter most.
Ask whether the train complies with international safety standards like ASTM F2291 and EN 13814:2019.
At Wattman, every train is tested and certified to meet those standards, because nothing matters more than the safety of your guests and team.
Who’s Behind the Product?
The train might be the most visible part, but the company behind it matters as much. Are they experienced? Are they easy to reach when something comes up?
With Wattman, you’re not buying a train but starting a partnership. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years in more than 60 countries, and our relationships with clients often last just as long as our trains do.
What Support Is Available After the Sale?
A great experience doesn’t stop after delivery. It continues through every question, every part, every season.
Ask how easy it is to get replacement parts, technical support, and training.
Our clients know they can always reach us. We keep spare parts in stock and provide clear, honest answers, whether you’ve had your train for three months or thirteen years.
How Will This Train Perform Over Time?
Trackless trains should last, not just in hardware, but in impact.
Think about how the train will serve your location over 5, 10, even 15 years. Will it still be engaging, reliable, and easy to maintain?
Our trains are built to run for the long haul, and many have been in daily operation for more than a decade. Wattman clients often tell us, “It just keeps going.”
Is the Train Truly Eco-Friendly?
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s something your visitors care about, and likely, you do too.
Is the train fully electric? Are its materials responsibly sourced?
At Wattman, we design our trains to have zero emissions, low energy use, and a fully recyclable build. Built in Canada under strict environmental standards, they’re made to move people without hurting the planet.
What Does Delivery Really Look Like?
Precise coordination is key, from when you place your order to when the train arrives.
Ask whether the supplier handles logistics, shipping, and customs.
With Wattman, we take care of everything related to shipping, paperwork, and import handling so your train arrives safely, on time, and ready to roll.
Will the Train Fit My Space and Audience?
Every location is different.
From narrow indoor walkways to wide outdoor promenades, the right train should feel like it was made for your environment. That’s why we ask many questions to recommend the model, configuration, and features that match your needs.
