I hope someone can help me out here. I'm trying to find a suitable locomotive for 28mm old west style gaming.
I have seen a few pictures of some trains from Toys R Us in other posts but I cannot find these anywhere in the UK!
Could someone give me the name of the manufacturer of these trains so I can find somewhere I can buy one direct?
Regards

We have them here in Kiel. Iam going tomorrow to Toys R Us and will buy a Continental Train for Dom. If you want one  I can try to get you a Western train if they still have one. The price is 15.00 Euro plus Post and package to the UK.

Have you got PAYPAL? I'm quite willing to pay extra for your trouble.

If you decide not to buy the Toys R Us one Redoubt Enterprises produce a Wild West train in their ACW range, it is also good for Colonial gaming as well.
The only snag is the price, its not cheap :(

@Papa Midnight
I have bought a Western Train for you.
If you dont want it anymore I am sure I can find someone who wants it.

Drop me a line please....

@Operator and Dom....
What was that with Doughty Bearer ?
Good for you that  my English is not the best.

@Driscoles - nah, it was just a stupid Foundry joke.  The funny way they name their DA packs:

For Driscoles and PM hang on as Wilkinsons might not have one I bought mine last year so they may no longer have one :)
