	The French company Lucien Corpet built 826 of these metre-gauge "030T" locos for railways across Europe. One of them named Cambrai operated in Northamptonshire on open cast mining duties. It is now preserved in the UK. Model by LGB
	Light-duty field loco to transport goods in factories, mines, quarries, farms and construction sites around the world. Model by LGB.
	This idea for this fictitious loco was taken from Amtrak's Beach Grove shop facility that has an office that is similar in appearance to the Lil' Eggliner. The office was constructed by welding together the ends of two observation cars. Model by Aristo Craft
	After World Wars 1 and 2 many army locomotives found their way to narrow gauge lines in Europe. The narrow gauge railways of Mecklenburg and Pommern for example acquired locos with tenders since they offered the additional coal and water capacity to cover long distances found on these lines. Model by LGB.
	To save money and time small railways often build special equipment in their shops using existing parts. For example this Spreewaldbahn snowplow (plough) was built from parts of an obsolete steam locomotive and was then equipped with two plows. Model by LGB.
	In 1892 the Krauss locomotive works built 4 small steam locomotives just 5.40m (17.30 ft) long for the railways of Austria's Styrian region. The "Stainz" is the oldest surviving narrow gauge steam locomotive in Austria. This is known around the world as the trademark of LGB The Big Train Model by LGB.
	With this one of a kind LGB locomotive you can safely and easily solve the complex problems of track cleaning, especially on out door layouts. The body of the loco is modelled on track maintenance equipment all over the world.
	In the early 1880's German forester Karl Freiherr Drais von Sauerbronn invented a simple hand-powered drive mechanism. Although his invention was replaced by more advanced devices the name 'Draisine' is still used in many languages to refer to small self propelled rail vehicles like handcars. Model by LGB.
	This LGB model is in the classic colours of the Deutsche Reichsbahn that was used on the rural lines of bygone days. Model by LGB.
	These 0-4-0 Porter Side Tank Locomotives were modelled after switch engines and built by the lumber companies. Model by Bachmann
	This type of locomotive was invented by a Swiss engineer named Anatole Mallet (and thus, the name is properly pronounced in the French manner, "Mallay"). It has two articulated powered bogies to enable it to go around tight curves. This loco is in the livery of the SEG - Süddeutsche Einsenbahn-Gesellscaft. Model by LGB.
	When completed this model will be a freelance snowplow. We are using the base of an LGB snowplow and the body is from a Bachmann Porter. As you can see there is still quite a lot of work to do on it. When finished we will post a new picture.
	The Speeder Locomotive is powered by petrol and used by section men, linemen, etc. It is often called a ‘Pop Car’ because of the put-put noise of its motor exhaust. Model made by USA Trains.
	Roundhouse Live Steam 0-6-0 Loco 'Silver Lady' we decided on a dark Brunswick green livery hence no name plate. We may re-name it at a later date.
	This powerful locomotive was built by the Krupp locomotive works in 1939 as a prototype for a standardized narrow-gauge locomotive. Using superheated steam, it could pull trains up to 80 metric tons up a 3% grade. The loco still operates on the Selketalbahn line of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen (HSB). Model by LGB.
	Between 1913 and 1925, the Vulcan Locomotive Works (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) ,built three locomotives for the Rügenschen Kleinbahnen (Rügen Local Railways) on the Baltic island of Rügen. When private railways in East Germany were seized by the government, the powerful locos were renumbered 99 4631 through 99 4633. Today, two of these locomotives still pull passenger trains through the picturesque fields and forests of Rügen. Model by LGB.
	Katie - Roundhouse Live Steam 0-4-0 Saddle Tank - is of typical narrow gauge saddle tank locomotive design. Though not a model of any particular engine, she draws inspiration and features from a number of famous builders like Hunslet, Bagnall and Pecket etc.
	Billy - Roundhouse Live Steam 0-4-0 Tank locomotive is based on a design by Arthur Koppel and found in large numbers throughout Europe. Locomotives were also built to this design by Andrew Barclay in Scotland and found on narrow gauge lines around the British Isles.
	German Federal Railways (Deutsche Bundesbahn) Draisine Klv 20 Volkswagen Transporter van (railbike) made in 1955. Model made by Brekina.
