Nice find - how much are they asking for the set?

wow, not 0-gauge 32mm then? - the better
from above the train looks a bit smallish compared to the figures, but seems to do the job very well

maybe You have a shot from miniature eye level please? I would be curious to compare
I mean the train, not the track

Fram, These same sets have been available in the US the last couple of Christmas seasons, I know the Hobby Town chain has carried them. Might be worth looking.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have ordered a set on-line from Poundstretcher. Free delivery if you spend over £20.

 Whoo-hoo, my Poundstretcher set has arrived  :) :) :) Actually got two sets. One for grandson's Christmas present (and what a classic Christmas present it is with a lovely big box to wrap up) and one for me....! Getting two meant free delivery so I reckon the extra set (mine) only cost about a fiver - great value.

Now off to Giles blog to get some ideas although my wife is so impressed she wants me to set it up to play with...! Could be a while before I can start hacking it about.

That's another project I've got to get around to - making mine look a little more "British".
