During December 2005, I was working on a model railway. It's something that happens to me occasionally - I make so much terrain that I decide I should make a model railway. I never finish them.
This time, something different happened. Sure, I never finished it. But I ended up with a 40K railway instead.
As a joke, my brother gave me a $15 toy train set he got from Toys'r'us. It's 'O' gauge, which looks right for 40K. He never though of it that way. I though of it that way right from the start.

The set included on passenger car, and one baggage car. Both in the charming four wheel German branch line style. There wasn't much I wanted to do with them, apart from paint them something other than bright red! The detail was already very good on the outsides, so I just added insides.

The passenger coach has had bench seats added along each side. You can't really see them at all, but I know they are there.

The baggage car was more extensively modified. I carefully cut out the door on the side, and repositioned it so it was open. The interior has been stocked with a number of crates and boxes.

Both carriages have been painted green, because I always think it's a god imperial colour. I added identification numbers on the sides using Imperial Guard transfers.
