What is the difference between this toy train and a normal train?

उत्तर
A normal train rushes very fast and so we can’t see and enjoy the seenery and the landscape. The toy train moves very slowly. So we are able to notice the wide, wind-swept tea estates, cloud covered mountains or the swaying trees.
