Minitrains Engines

In the last month I managed to buy 4 new narrow gauge trains, to go along with the 2 I already owned.

Liliput engine; it came with three passenger cars. At first it didn't want to run; after warming up it finally started around the track.

The first  narrow gauge train I got. A Jouef copy of Egger Bahn diesel engine.

Minitrains  western loco and coal car.

Another new loco. This engine ran fine right from the box.

I got 2 of these engines. Neither of these are in running order right now. One the frame was broken and contacts were bent. The other engine is getting power but still isn't running. Maybe after giving it some oil…..

A Peter Laing on Vacation?

     I have been distracted from wargaming the last few days. Among other hobbies I've had was model railroading. Now of course I just can't be interested in regular HO trains; my interest is HOe narrow gauge trains, especially Minitrains and Egger Bahn. I have a couple of these trains and plan to use them in future wargames. I have been looking for more trains,but the prices are beyond my means.
      I went to Youtube to see if I could find some videos of Egger Bahn trains in action.  While watching one video, I noticed a particular figure bicycling through the landscape.

I don't know if it might be an Airfix RAF bike rider or a Peter Laing like the picture above.
