Fast little locomotive.

[@ModelRailwaysAndDioramas]

Indeed, it’s quite a speedy one! The BR 98 does a fantastic job zipping around the track, making it a fun addition to any model railway setup. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

What, no brake van?

[@ModelRailwaysAndDioramas]

Great observation! This starter set focuses on providing a basic setup with a steam locomotive and three freight cars. Unfortunately, it does not include a brake van, which is often seen in more comprehensive sets or needs to be added separately to enhance realism and operational safety in model setups. If you're looking to expand, adding a brake van could be a great next step. Thanks for your comment and happy modeling!
