I've been modelling US HO for a couple of years now and I have started to get interested in the Continental stuff.

My interest was sparked by seeing a Piko electric in arriva trains livery, this led me to looking at other continental locos and being impressed by the various models diesel and electric and the amount of different types available.

Having done lots of research i'm starting to learn the differences of the available manufacturers with regard to quality and amount of detail. The other factor is the cost is slightly higher for locos and wagons than with my US stuff.

That's all for now, i hope to update further with my first purchase...
