Many garden railways have begun with the iconic LGB starter set which includes a Stainz locomotive - which features on LGB's own logo. This wasn't the case with the H&DLR, whose General Manager tends to plough a slightly independent/idiosyncratic (delete as appropriate) furrow. Until last year when the Dortmunder Bier Train arrived, the H&DLR had always been a strictly Stainz-free zone (visitors excepted, of course). However, the General Manager has in mind to fashion a slightly more accurate model out of the basic LGB Stainz. Modell Land are selling these at €89.99, and since they also had some other bits and bobs that the General Manager "needed", it seemed too good an offer to pass up as an order was being placed anyway. This little chap arrived today, and is seen here approaching the halt at Holzapfel.

A Stainz in a Stainz-free zone?
