Have a look on eBay for the usual Xmas plastic train sets. I was about to bid on one when I managed to land some O gauge western period coaches to add to my engine.

My own experience is that I'd avoid the O scale On30 scale unless you want to have a running engine. The plastic toys are much cheaper and a lot easier to find, especially at this time of year.

Dixon miniatures also have a train, although when I talked to them at Claymore earlier this year they said that their train and tracks were all custom built and so might not fit other companies stuff.

Finally I think colonel Bills Wargames Depot has a painted train for sale at the moment.

Hope that helps!

There was somebody at Warfare who had one for sale too  (about £120 IIRC).  Can't think of who it was though sorry, but if you have a trader list from the show, you might be able to work out who it was (or at least narrow it down a bit).

Eye thenk Yew!


Not sure how accurate that is though...  ;)

Trains are something I've always wanted a bash at, but it's quite an outlay for what is potentially few games for me. That company B stuff is top notch though.

One of the headturners at this year's Euro Militaire was a stunning train, not sure my photo does it any justuce...
