The most popular single unit powered passenger car, 5 inch gauge with two sets of four wheeled bogies, drives from rear. Powered by a 12Volt car battery, with a bell and warning horn. Capable of taking both children or adults and very convenient for Santa specials and indoor running.
WICKHAM
Named "Wickham" because of its trolley like style which the big railways used as Gangers trolley. 7 1/4 inch powered by a 12volt car battery, braked and electronic controlled. Fitted with a electric horn. Pictured hauling the two person sit-in car. Very convenient and confortable for demanding passenger hauling.
THE TRAM
The tram is the most powerful in my mini portable railway. It is used when there is likely to be many mixed passengers. When a sit aside is coupled six or more passengers can be carried. 12v electronic control, braked, four sprung wheels. Smooth, comfortable and fast.
THIRD CLASS CARRIAGE
Simplicity push pulling with box van attached. Hard work driving being so low and constantly getting up and down to issue tickets. Powerful loco for the size.
THE TOY BOX EXPRESS
My latest locomotive!!!! It is a toybox that conveniently slides onto the box van. Looks canny eh. The set was adapted to be a serving trolley for Stokesley Engineers,Nth. Yorkshire special Christmas dinner party 2008. Note Nippy being the power unit. Lovely pictures in the press.
PACER '96

The only one of it's kind in the world! Especially made for that year. Includes a tape player for sound effects. Single unit 12v, two passenger and rear driver. In need of increasing the power but functional on indoor surfaces.
