Fleischmann have just announced two new limited edition packa and these look very interesting. For those who have a sea or harbour theme on their layout these are well worth having a look at.

The Train-pack is a special train, from around the 1950's, with a multitude of wagon loads transporting a submarine boat and ancillary equipment from the sea to a museum.

Art.Nr. 86 4850 S Harbour Train Set, DB, Epoch III

The HO Train-pack consists of:

Class 81, tank engine

- Low-loader with two brakeman's cabs, to carry submarine load

- Stake wagon with brakeman's platform, to carry two torpedos and ammunition boxes

- open goods wagon with brakeman's cab, to carry 30 wooden barrels

- box goods van with "Museum Transport" lettering

The HO Wagon Set consists of:

- Stake wagon with brakeman's platform, to carry tar barrels and wooden crates

- Stake wagon with brakeman's cab, to carry two ship's propellors

Both sets combined together will make up a really unique train loaded with unusual loads.

Planned delivery date (only to participating UK dealers) will be the beginning of December, so get your order in to your local Fleischmann UK dealer now!

I love the idea of having a submarine on the back of a wagon. I'm very tempted.

Interesting, I like the second set, too bad it's not in N Scale.

You never know, it still might be issued in N.
