99% of your collection of trains is bridal trains. When it comes to railways could you at least state railway in the title. I know this will not satisfy purists who want everything - locomotives wagons etc etc but it would help. Eg. this would be a guard's van and an insulated Z class wagon awaiting wrecking at the Addington Railway Workshops. Just a suggestion. By the way The train is the trail of what follows the engine ( or locomotive ) just like the bridal train follows the bride. You might like to talk to the NZ Railway Museum at Ferrymead if you need clarification.
