Hi all,
After its successful debut last month with track power at Whatlep's, the Pennsylvania F1 ABBA set is now battery/RC.
Here it is hauling a long freight train, but can you guess the makes and scales of the freight cars?
To get you started, the first car, with the batteries, is an Aristocraft 1:29 gondola.
Not all of the others are so obvious.

Here's a ride round the complete circuit on the same train, from the second car.
