Miniature train set hardly a Lionel, but it fits in your pocket
On close inspection, this otherwise unspectacular stocking stuffer turns out to have two miniature trains whirling around its rim. Apparently, the wind-up mechanism plays "I've been working on the railroad" when the timepiece is opened. Thrilling stuff!

If it has a wind-up mechanism, why does it come with a "type 377 silver oxide battery"?

I mean, sure, you get the surprise of the train and the music when you open it, but shouldn't a train-themed pocket watch be open-faced?

Battery for the watch...wind-up for the song (and perhaps the trains?)

For that niche, hard to buy for, clockwork train AND pocket watch fan.

One of the coolest gifts my wife ever gave me was a replica Swiss trainman's pocket watch. Large face with easy to read strikes instead of numerals.
This here thing looks too thick and the actual watch face too small to be of any real use as a pocket watch.
