More second hand kit...from eBay

So I needed a few new engines for the layout - I was after something leaning toward a diesel if I could get it btu I did not want to spend a fortune on new equipment. What to do? Well, how about eBay, I thought?

Local stuff selling in Oz was going for far more than I wanted to spend so I bid on a few items in the UK - and won them for about half what I'd pay here.

When they arrived all was perfect and they run beautifully. Scroll further down for some video.

The one shown below is a Minitrix and this runs well but is comaratively noisy.



The photos below show my Fleischmann and this is smooth and quiet - almost perfect. Both can run from overhead caternary.
