Our latest additions to the Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range today are some tiny, tiny steam trains, which have been requested by several customers. We have sets of engines, passenger carriages and freight wagons, plus a special Flying Scotsman set. They’re designed to fit our existing range of track and railway buildings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At this juncture I should point out that I’m no expert on trains; so please excuse any sloppy use of terminology…<\/p>\n

The Steam Engines<\/strong> pack has four engine – two slightly different 0-6-0 tank engines, and two 4-6-2 locomotives, one with a coal tender.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Passenger Carriages<\/strong> set has 15 carriages – ten 16mm long models (roughly 53′) and five at 12mm (c.40′). These include brake coaches (distinguished in this scale by having fewer windows).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Freight Wagons<\/strong> set has five flat cars in two different sizes, five box cars also in two sizes and five open wagons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, one of the most famous steam engines of all (certainly in the UK) is the Flying Scotsman<\/strong>. The set contains the engine plus corridor tender, four passenger coaches and a brake coach. Although tiny, it’s still recognisable.<\/p>\n
