Issue 98 of Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy has an article written by me, showing how I converted a simple toy train into a 1/56th scale American Civil War steam engine.
and here is the boxed train set before I started work on it.
For more details see the Blog.

That Mogul looks excellent and it was rather cheap I guess. What gauge in mm are the tracks? Is there an internet sop link to this train set?

The distance between the tracks is 20mm.
I have not been able to find an e-bay link, I was just lucky in seeing it for sale.

Sorry I don't have a brand name. I think I have thrown the packaging away but will search the garage later.
