...But hasn't anyone noticed that there are a complete lack of Talyllyn rolling stock kits on the market. If anyone says Perfect world, prepare to wake up with a horses head in their bed. As I say-
Perfect world, everything's perfect, but the price

Perfect World, Tenmille, may even be one or two others.

I suppose you might be right however there is also a compleet lack of many other railway's distinctive carriages such as
Southwold railway
Rye and camber tramway
And many more but I can not think at the moment.

Groudle Glen, Sierra Leone, Leek & Manifold...

Then again, GG coaches might be a bit complex and no-one commercially produces a Polar Bear or Sea Lion (which is a damn shame!) Someone did produce the battery electric Polar Bear for a while though. You see it advertised in old issues of Garden Rail...

I love that, just like being there and popping in the cafe for tea and a cake!

sadly that scene nolonger exists in its model form. althow it is planned to make its return, and it will be even better!
the rolling stock you see there is only half of it. I have enough TR rolling stock to make 2 complete scale passenger trains.

Hancockshire, if your saving up for something (which I understand from other threads that you are), you might want to check out this link

http://home.iae.nl/users/summer/16mmngm ... nsTech.htm

You'll have to sign up (Free) and then you can download, print out and make (Free except wheels & couplings etc - but there are ways of making them for Free) a variety of coaches, including TR

I'll have a look

GRS produce a range of L&M rolling stock. Personally I wouldn't suggest buying them, given my past experience of GRS kits, but they are there...

I find they don't go together very easily, and this problem is compounded by the fact that the instructions are bascially non-existant. They're certainly not for the beginner, at any rate.
