Breakdown Trains

Breakdown Trains is the tenth story in the 2nd series of Miniature Railway Adventures. It was first written in 2015 by Michael White.

Sub Plot
Following the ordeal with the new signals, Casey is none too pleased when the railway introduces a breakdown demonstration train. He finds it a waste of time, but soon comes to learn that it actually proves to be quite a handy piece of equipment.

Trivia

 * In reality the breakdown train doesn't exist. However there are several miniature railways that have a breakdown train for demonstrations as well as being a value piece of equipment for the maintenance team.
 * In early development, the breakdown crane was originally planned to be made using bits of old bicycle. This would not work as it would require more tougher components to make up.
