Expansion of the passenger fleet...

With the forthcoming season shaping up to be a good one with the new line commissioned in the garden this spring the operating department have invested in some additional passenger carrying vehicles to ensure the line can meet forecasted visitor numbers.

The line's Chief Engineer has a thing about Austrian narrow gauge and has managed to source a set of three former OBB bogie coaches still in overall green from storage in South Wales.

In reality - thanks to a plea to Jeremy at Dragon G-scale I've aquired three coaches that are more suitable for my OBB U-class 0-6-2T to haul around the expanded garden layout. Initially I plan to use two with a third held in reserve, or potentially to sell on.
