SDJR7F88 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 A look at the all new Schneider Locotracteurfrom MinitrainS, in WW1 Grey livery. This lovely little model features a directional headlamp, as well as a powerful motor with brass flywheel, for slow and smooth running. Here's we see the Schneider in action on my 009 WW1 Trench Railway, which is currently under construction, hauling a short rake of accompanying WW1 rolling stock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8b2IwcSp4Q 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bécasse Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I got to play with one of these at the Walferdange expo in the Grand Duchy in mid-November. It was absolutely superb, both in appearance and in running quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Very interesting... did any of them end up in the UK by any chance? Honestly don't know. Would certainly be interesting to find out if any did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RateTheFreight Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Great vid SDJR. Were these some of the first examples of diesel narrow gauge locos? It would be interesting to know if any ended up in the UK post war. You could imagine an enterprising narrow gauge line investing in them in the immediate post war period. Even if they didn't, it makes a plausible story for which to excuse running one! Greg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
