Hey narrow gauge railway fans. Here's an 009 Welsh Highland Heritage Railway train.

The locomotive is Baldwin 590 from Bachmann (who also made truck number 7 and Nigel's fighting brake), and the two box vans were made especially for us by Peco and are limited edition.

We have a few left in stock.
