France visit.
You have a darn good camera and an excellent variety in your collection...especially the buildings and aircraft cheers TomBFrance visit.
Regards an engine for your train....are they available ? and what would you estimate the length...with tender....height (approx the height of a passanger carriage...maybe a bit higher) and how wide ..the Yanks have large scale loco's....maybe one would fit your track scale.....cost... I have no idea.....you would not need one that works,,,,,,the down side could be they are a much larger scale..and... even with the right scale the dio with engine etc would take up a lot of space.....some of the Yanks on the forum would known about their large scale trains,,,,,maybe they could advice you on scale ...availability...etc.........my knowledge on trains only runs to the 1/72 scale and that is now way out of date due to the rediculist price of trains now......just a thought....TomBThanks mate you can come over one day and check it out if you want.

Not cheap,,,you known what the price of a good 1/72 elect train is now ...$1000 and up.....I dont buy trains no more ........... I now have a photo of the correct type of loco that would fit your dio....if your interested ....would you send me the details of your carriages,, HEIGHT....WIDTH ...LENGTH....track gauge.. and any photos you might have....I would not mind having a go at making one...I have my own 1/72 stuff I can work from ..that a good start....not nothing to do at the moment,,,,,I have often thought of doing one but was not clued up enough....got a bit more experience now,,,,worth a try,,,can only stuff it up.....TomB

Saw their pic in the catalogue ....very nice.....would it be what is called a war class loco ?... At 2-10-0...it has a lot of wheels not to mention the tender.... must have been a heavy haul freighter I would guess.....like to be able to afford to buy one... it would be massive along side the few remaining 1/72 locos I have...that said..I would still like to have one.....TomBWell speaking to Clive and Matt I know the train is nearly all sold out with Matt only having two left {eek3}
