Saw a short clip of a narrow gauge 2-10-2T loco on the Hartz narrow gauge railway in Germany on telly the other day; I have a collection of narrow gauge (OO9/HOe scale on 9mm gauge track) model railway stuff in the attic and this re-kindled my interest.
All my stuff is about 25 years old and apart from the BEMO made stuff, isn't very well detailed so I decided to buy some modern manufactured locos and rolling stock.
E-bay didn't exist all those years ago, but looking on e-bay, I found some interesting stuff and bought a Heljan/PECO 2-6-2T Lynton and Barnstaple Railway loco plus a Lilliput made Zillertalbahn diesel loco and carriage and found the standard of finish and detailing amazingly good, probably due to modern computer assisted manufacturing techniques.
So am I, an aviation enthisiast, weird? (or just getting p1ssed off with lockdown?)
