What coaches are those? I quite like the look of them. I might want to get a couple :)

@RedGemAlchemist

Bachmann BR Mk. 1 suburban.

[RASDV]

Certainly something unusual! What is the base the track is on?

[hirsutetone]

@RASDV The track is Bachmann E-Z Track from the United States, it has a moulded ballast shoulder, the Underground Ernie track available in the UK is of the same build but you can't get a very extensive range.

How did you get the power to the tracks

[hirsutetone]

@craigcromack Small 12V sealed lead acid battery and Tri-ang P.42 circuit controller

[ShaurntheSheep]

WOW! that bit actually looks real 0:18

Ha never seen that done before you could let your imagination go wild on the sand
