    If he's running AC power, then you'll have difficulty finding anything that is compatible, very few firms make AC HO trains, most are either DC or digital (DCC) and both will let the smoke out (unprototypical smoke!) if provided AC power.
    Marklin is the most famous supplier of AC trains.
    I don't know the Perth shop scene, sorry.

    Some have interior lighting so skip them, most don't. You should be safe with that one!

    The couplers used between carriages varies a lot but the average modeller is well practiced at changing couplers...

    Hi Mark and not meaning to hijack isuzurover’s thread but do you know if there are any HO models of Sydney trams?

    Hi Tim,
    Weico used to make a few as kits, but that was in the early 90s. Far North Hobbies also had a kit for a NSWGT steam tram motor, again 20 odd years ago. The Weico models come up once in a blue moon on the 2nd hand market, the company is still around so may still sell them, albeit unlikely.
