An illuminated display contained within a translucent container that employs flat fiber optic material as the primary illuminated design. When this material is illuminated at its base edge and the illumination is optionally programmed, light then travels to and is emitted all along its cut top edge, resulting in a clear line of light display that appears to exist in space, unattached from any other material and evokes a specific desired effect within the translucent container, including the effect of a specific ephemeral phenomenon. The illuminated display effect is often strengthened by adding one or more additional displays to the translucent container.

A multi-channel model train sound reproduction system, in which digital sound files are assigned to a particular channel. The channel assignment may be fixed or variable depending on operation state. For the variable embodiments, channel assignment is preferably done in real time according to the configuration that will produce the highest quality sound reproduction.

Provided is a train set structure including a locomotive and a plurality of cars and track segments. The track segments can be connected and separated. The locomotive includes a driving unit, sprayer, liquid input hole, switch, and luminous body. The driving unit has driving rollers abutting against the track segments to drive the locomotive. The sprayer contains a liquid, with a vibrator disposed at the bottom of the sprayer, adapted to vibrate the liquid to produce aerosols, and electrically connected to a control circuit and a battery module for supply power to the vibrator. The switch is electrically connected to a music generator. The cars are connected and separated by connection hooks engaged with and disengaged from connection hole components respectively. The locomotive and cars move on the track segments automatically, accompanied by aerosols emitted from the sprayer, musical sounds, and flashes to achieve liveliness and entertainment.
