Comes with a length of rail, but I decided after reading up online to thread it into the middle of a standard 3 foot length for better results.
Lovely simple little kit, tho Bachmann are promising a nice looking one too (listed on their site but no sign of a real one as yet)
Anthony's right - unlike the real thing, you can still run a healthy freight flow on your layout
Beets, Cement (bogies and bubbles), Timber, Container Flats, Tara Mines stock... lots of fun to be had
My short list would be
- Supertrain
- IE
- Freight
- NIR
Ah hell, why make a list, I'll take all and anything Paddy makes!
For running, I'll be hopefully buying a small freight fleet, and a few in IE orange as thunderbirds
From ebay, etc, the Limas are going for around the 100-150 mark, about the same, broadly speaking as the new version, but wrenn will be along shortly I am sure to set the record straight!
