Kneippbyn Isle of Gotland
This family resort featues a very short and compact narrow gauge (?500mm) railway. The picture shows how tight the curves are on this. Both ends of the train are visible but facing in opposite directions and the train is 'loco' plus 3 cars i.e. less than 10 metres long. From what was visible the arrangement is 2 pairs of axles per bogie with 2 bogies per vehicle and the wheels are approx. 10 cm in diameter. The bodies are pastel coloured plastic which almost totally cover the underframes. The 'loco' seems to be electrically driven, probably using power from batteries and the train is remotely controlled. It was test run each morning around 07.20, co-incidentally at the same time as the bread was coming out of the oven at the on-site bakery, long before the crowds were allowed in.
