Is that the Fastlane Western Express?

no, it's the orient express this time, 1 locomotive that produces steam and noise and sadly drives a bit too fast  ;D

a coal wagon and two passenger cars finish the set. All in all a good purchase, but a bit too little track for my feeling, so I'll just have to buy a 2nd set. The extra locomotive and so on can alway be put to use somewhere

No problem, I was already trying to find one on the web, but can't find it.

I'll try to take a picture at home tonight

Thanks, defiitely from the same manufacturer as my Old West train...same tracks and all... must keep a lookout for that one...

One thing I do not get, though, is the wheel-thing. Why do they make as well the working wheels and the fake wheels on the carriages...??  ??? ::)

after weeks of trying (and being a little tight on the bidding) I finally got a Matchbox Rolls Royce armoured car from ebay today.

Picked up my RCW train from Lon at the Post Office today!  :-*  8 days from shipment.  Not bad.  No duty, even better!  lol

Casting isn't bad, just a little cleanup on the resin.  Metal wheels will be a bit more work.  Spokes, you see!  ::) Engine is quite a hunk o' resin, mostly solid but partly hollow underneath for mounting the trucks and stuff.  Got to pick up some individual rails and ties now, and then figure out how I'm going to have it displayed, especially since there are at least two more cars to come.  It's for a diorama setting, rather than for gaming.  Sorry, guys!  :D

My train is as shown, except for the various loads.
