It looks like it is the same as this one (with a slightly different engine, they are both advertised on ToysRUs website).
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=46818.0

Probably compatible with the Fenfa train which has 24 mm gauge...

Anyone else found a bargain?
Yes I bought another train discounted in a shop (probably a leftover from previous year) for 6.95 €; engine (but no tender) quite similar to Fenfa, and three wagons  :), the rails are same gauge as Fenfa but uglier.

I've finished my Locos, No4 and No12. And i'm pretty chuffed for the $15 a piece they cost me. Now to build some cars and base the rails.





More pics at my Western thread - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=61248.0 - and my blog

Thanks Michi. I aspired to your standard, and fell short, but am pretty happy with the outcome.

Cheers former user and Patrice! thanks for the help along the way.

Blogpost from Shed Wars showing some good pictures of the Poundstretcher train.

It looks like it's still available from TJ Hughes, although it's £19.99 there
