tonybonneyba Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Spotted these in Symths toys store today while looking around for a Christmas present. The model it's self is a great build & high quality, tho, because it is a German built train by Siku, the unit is a German train in the Luas tram livery. I think it fits TT gauge track. It is Siku product No. 1646 "Nahverkehrszug/Local train/ Train de banlieue" See Siku.de for more information Unfortunately the images won't load.
BosKonay Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Not bad looker (or price) for a static / background job
tonybonneyba Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Ah, thank you Mr/Mrs BosKonay, just couldn't get it to work earlier. Indeed, it's not bad looking at all (I grabed one for the price shown)
Glenderg Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Mr/Mrs BosKonay... you just made my Christmas tony.
craven1508 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 saw them also in the hobby shops, around 6.99, not bad, could do the luas job alright? a little bit of tinkering
tonybonneyba Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 you just made my Christmas tony. Was only trying be polite & not offend as I do not know if the person in question (or even a robot) is a Madam or a Sir, but I'm glad to hear that I have made your Christmas Craven1508, I think it'll take more than a bit of tinkering, as the model is smaller than your usual HO/OO stuff, plus the fact the bogies on it don't swing at all, in fact the only things that do move is the couplers & the wheels that turn, but, if your going tinker it, why not the extra mile & hack it so the middle has its own carriage like the ones IRL, I'm sure you could do this cheaply by buying another two (three in total) & use the couplers from the spares, & any left over wheels, you could use on a 1/76 road digger to turn it into a RRV. Did I mention that Siku make a even smaller version of this model with same size of couplers in a red park & ride livery? No? Well, just as well I just did ^it may come in handy.
