Exactly what the Pioneer lines were for, I'm not sure. Are they just narrow gauge pleasure lines or did they have more of a transport use? There are still a number of the Pioneer and Children's railways open. The father of a friend of mine here at Meteorite 'worked' on one as a child in Romania. If I could find a home of one of the eastern 2ft6" TU-2 locos back here to the UK, I'd look to bring one back. Russian themed railway, anyone? Edited by Timbo, 29 Sep 2008, 11:52 AM.
