I actually have got another Minitrains engine that would look good for the Boer War.

If I had used the FPW game, I was going to use a Liliput narrow gauge train just purchased. I'm planning to post some photos of the locomotives I've got.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-10946755895115932252014-01-26T14:43:51.104-08:002014-01-26T14:43:51.104-08:00Thanks, I have been looking for suitable trains fo...Thanks, I have been looking for suitable trains for 1870s Prussians and French for a long time!Ian Duryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319294059932082470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-62024661470115963162014-01-26T06:59:36.948-08:002014-01-26T06:59:36.948-08:00I buy them on Ebay.

If you go to: www.minitrains.eu you can buy new trains. I have bought 4 used sets in the last couple of weeks at fairly good prices. 3 out of 4 engines are in working order. I plan to do a posting showing the engines soon. they are Narrow gauge HO e/009. There have been some good sets in England the last couple of weeks. jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-48305961993864402742014-01-25T15:46:25.622-08:002014-01-25T15:46:25.622-08:00John, where did you get the trains?

This fight the rebels had 8 units, the government 6. It was indeed a fun game. My ancient games had upwards to 12 units per side, which made for longer games. I have been looking for more of the trains, but the prices are so high. The train has a "Little Wars" look to it that just seems right to use with Peter Laing figures.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-8964823882666126332014-01-18T15:50:43.751-08:002014-01-18T15:50:43.751-08:00Great little game.
