Finally a home for all the boxes of locos, wagons, DCC controllers etc.etc. A trip to Ikea on Monday and a Hejne shelving kit later and now Die Keinnamebahn has an indexed store in my attic.

I thought I would share this […]
PLM ZZr 50 I came across a Chinese vendor on eBay selling 1:87 H0 Atlas Editions French Autorail models at a reasonable price (£15-£20 inclusive of postage). Several of these autorails were for metre gauge lines or short wheelbase standard gauge units. Having bought one to see what it was like I was hooked and […]
