You can get some older models from Rivarossi, Atlas and Pola Maxi. I have a Rivarossi DRG Class 80 (German 0-6-0 Tank Engine), a Pola Maxi...
I've shared a link to this with the Aus7 Facebook Group
I think with the arrival of stay-alive/keep-alive capacitors on DCC and even a number of people experimenting with battery-powered DCC that...
