I saw some of those Darstaed trains at the last train show I attended.  Gorgeous pieces!   Came VERY close to buying a (British) Southern Railway 4-6-0 plus passenger cars but held off, this time anyway.  I'm not into European prototypes.

MAYBE I'll take the plunge if I can find an O scale Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to go with the train!

 

O scale 28mm Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson can be ordered from Ironclad Minatures for about 3 GBP each ($ 4.29 each). When on website keyword search Sherlock Holmes and there are (5) figures to choose from.

European O Gauge Locomotives, Corridor Coaches, Engine Shed, Gantries, Water Towers & Advertising Vans are so realistic and attractive.

O Gauge A4 Pacific Locomotive

I have just read about this O gauge locomotive and want to share what was written about them. The model is powered by a DC 0-24 Volts custom motor made by Mabuchi of Japan. The output is via a beveled gear or worm drive into a gear train through several gears to each of the three axles of the main drive wheels. This promotes a vastley improved tractive effort. This locomotive will pull with ease no less than fiftheen 35cm double bogie main line tinplate coaches. For more information go to the Darstaed website.
