Cheers guys it’s brilliant… but would you make a couple of express dairy milk tanker or a different company… or a flat wagon … O gauge of course … I am new to O gauge 👍

Lovely little locomotive, great price.
I have a collection of Express dairy milk tankers plus others. They will go grand together.
Charming little loco. Cheaper than most OO gauge locos - bargain not to be missed
Slotted in nicely.
Superb model 10 out of 10 every layout needs one or more on it ideal for micro layouts because of the locos small size
Excellent littleloco, idea for someone wanting to try O gauge but not sure.
A fab little loco, especially for the price. A very well made and heavy loco, and runs well too. Can't fault it, if you are considering one, my advice would be to go for it!
A lot of detail in a small loco
