The End of the Line represents a quiet European branchline, somewhere in the first half of the 20th century.

These short, usually single track routes connect rural areas to the mainline train network, and provided an essential transportation link for these otherwise isolated towns.

As competition from road traffic increased however, lines like these struggled to remain profitable, and many were abandoned or torn up.

For the moment, this particular line is still going, running a few mixed passenger and freight trains each day. The Brickstone’s sparkling water company, who use the line to transport their sparkling mineral water from its source to the bottling plant a few miles down the line, are a huge contributor to the lines survival. The lines long-term future of the line however, remains uncertain…

The model

The train is built to 8 studs wide, allowing a nice level of detail, while stil fitting into a normal city layout.

The locomotive can be motorised with the Powered Up system. (Electronics not included.)

A train motor replaces the locomotive’s chassis, and the battery hub fits inside the cab.
