Fleischmann and Trix also make decent HO scale European steamers. Until recently it was possible to buy a model of the twin-unit diesels used to haul the big rail-mounted guns from Lima, though with their sale to Hornby these could take a while to return - www.kittlehobby.com are still listing the set of the loco, gun, and assorted flatcars/crew cars, etc which might be of interest (reference number 149985). Supermicha is right about Marklin - they're sticking to 3-rail AC for their HO for some reason, which immediately makes it incompatible with normal DC or DCC control - luckily most of the locos are also offered in 2-rail form as part of their Trix brand. <br /> <br />Bachmann offer an excellent OO scale (4mm = 1ft as opposed to HO 3.5mm = 1ft, though the track gauges are the same) model of a WW2-era 2-8-0 tender loco known as an "Austerity" - these were built in the UK for the War Department and sent pretty much everywhere Allied forces went, so you might want to add one - it will be slightly out of scale though. www.ehattons.com/Stock.asp?SID=8418 would be a good example of one of these. Hope this info is of help!
