I found these in the Worcester branch of Asda today – £2.50 GBP per set. The engine needs a bit of work to remove the go-fast wheels and the whole thing needs a paintjob but i'm not complaining. I think there are 4 different engine types. I went for the one that matches a photo I have of the Antung-Mukden Light railway 1907 The figures are 10mm

I thought "Asda" was going to be the location of a colonial battle. |

Asda = Walmart in the USA I did post a grovelling message onto a Model Railway forum asking for Russian livery colours but so far no replies link I suppose it is a bit like posting a picture here of this and saying it looks a bit like a Tiger tank – what colour should I paint it?

Track? With the set – nope The engine has go-faster wheels so I assume it is intended for the floor I've removed the go-faster wheels and use my TT gauge track |

Looks like a Tiger to me: "roar" |

Pity no track, never mind, thanks for the heads up. |

I think 10mm is N Gauge (1/160), so finding tracks should not be a problem. Whether the train fits them or not…… |
