Like it says in the article a limited number were made in the UK some time ago and they seem to be rare from what I could find out - certainly in Europe. Although HOe and running on 9mm track they are to the UK scale of 1:76 used for OO* rather than the European & American scale of 1:87 used for HO*. The two sizes do look daft next to each other but I wonder if a 1:76 narrow gauge loco next to a 1:87 mainline engine might be okay.

* Both use 16.5mm track which is correct in scale for HO but not OO.

Bit like USAT's & Aristocraft's 1:29 (and LGB) next to, just about everybody else's, 1:32/10 mm standard gauge offerings on 45 mm gauge :D

Blew out an idea 20 years ago to marry up my USAT streamlined Daylight set with a similar livery GS4 loco. Had to settle for an F3 ABA lash up. Put me on the path to Fn3 and then needing to distinguish between Bachmann's Fn3 Spectrum kit and their sort of 1:22.5 Big Mauler stuff (solution just check the price ticket). Why do they do it ? :banghead: Max
 
Okay so not in a normal garden scale this is Spur 1 which is 1:32 running on 45mm track. It is live steam however and a snip at € 4300 / £ 3765 / $ 5010 but before you whip out the credit card they are on holiday until Friday. Just look at it, Oooooo :inlove:

So two Central Europeans, in a Polish registered white van, have been charged with assault for knocking an elderly gentleman to the ground..

They were putting Union flags on lampposts, and he informed them they were putting them up upside down.

The world has gone mad. I'm off to play with trains..
