Train Set Catalogue Information

YEAR	INFORMATION
1990	While the LMS was noted for its fine main line expresses it also operated a vast network of cross country lines as depicted by this interesting train set.
1991	Despite the coming of diesel and elcetric outline models, the traditional train set for younger users retains its well deserved popularity. The bright, four wheel steam type engine is easy to place on the track while the open wagons are ideal for loading up with those miscellaneous favourite items lying about in most houses.
1992	This excellent starter set is a reminder of the days when small engines would haul mixed goods trains along cross-country routes. Coal for this village, cattle for the next and petrol for the depot. And how peaceful the country lanes were with all this traffic going by rail!
1993	Mixed load goods trains were a common sight all over the country in the days when rail services between every town and village were frequent and cheap.
