Looking for a modern train engine in 28mm

[Nimrod]

A bit too small for use with 28mm.

Wow, theres one! She is a 'little short' mmm.

Michi, as you may recall the Shed Wars blog did a write up, and mentions the two various sized trains.

I cannot find the exact one on ebay at the moment but did spot this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BIG-Passenger-High-Speed-Electric-Train-Track-Play-Set-Light-Music-Accessories-/251339940888?pt=UK_Toys_VintageToys_RL&hash=item3a85072418

and this

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CLASSIC-TRAIN-SET-3-5m-TRACK-WORKING-HEADLIGHT-BATTERY-OPERATED-CHILD-TOY-NEW-/151567228143?pt=UK_Toys_VintageToys_RL&hash=item234a1c5cef

Which seems to the based on the same set I bought (19mm OO gauge) and will be small without heavy conversion work.

Cheers

You´re right - regretfully it´s too small. I really had liked to have that train!

I remember that. The bigger engine seems right to me, but the other is too small.
The ebay finds are not, what I´m looking for, although the passenger train has the motive end car of the diesel train, the coaches are of different origin. The (fantasy) EMD F7 diesel engine of the goods train is also not very much to my taste, but thanks for the hints anyway!

I realize it's technically too small, but for a train that isn't actually going to have figures on it, I'm actually ok with scale compression.  I'd probably use that train if I didn't already have a properly scaled bullet train.

Looks like the "classic train set" with the diesel and one boxcar set above is available in the USA as well...

Except that this one comes with a passenger car.

$25 USD including shipping!
