The most unusual “Locomotive” in my collection. The Plassey & Theurer Rail Tamper. Although it is in fact HO rather than OO, 3.5mm / ft as against 4mm / ft I saw it new at a Model Railway exhibition and had to have it. It is motorised and comes DCC fitted and was a ridiculously low price of £70. Because I’d just bought a DCC system from the trader He let me have it for £65. It is made by Lilliput, who used to be an Austrian company, but were taken over by Bachmann. It looks very quaint crawling round the layout at a slow speed. Obviously I can also run it when I have my continental stock on the track.
