ISO: TRAIN kit/element pack - contemporary and NOT KIDDISH

@Dalis
You're usually the best for this kind of search.
I only found a kiddie type one.

 

That would be so great! I have many of my husband's train photos that would be great for a non kid train set!

 

I did a search of city + transportation and came up with this one (Urban Instilled) that has some railway stamps from Rebecca McMeen

 

Lynn Grieveson has a kit, Steam Friends. The train is cutsie but it has several elements and paper that might work.

 

This has some train elements and journal cards:

 

She got me at the contemporary trains, we have a few OLD trains, but not sure how much contemporary fancy new trains, we have let me look.

 

Ok, from the contemporary route, I found this:

 

There might be trains in these kits or at least kits that could work for more modern train layouts

 

This also might work

 

If you like an artistic Kit interpretation I would be interested in looking into this, i'll definitely add it to my schedule to look into, my family are quite mad about trains

I’ll keep you posted

 

I've used Lynn Grieveson's Steam Friends kit for this

 

@ad77 It can be a struggle! I've enjoyed the train trips that we've taken, but there've been few and far between in the United States because there isn't a lot of opportunity to take the train. The ones that go across the states are slow and limited. There are some subway trains in kits, because those are more common in the Northeastern states.

 

My dad was a model railroader and train enthusiast all his life, so the love of trains is in my blood. It's really hard to find a good train kit anywhere. I typically take bits and pieces from various kits that may work, but it's real hard. I'd love to see another good kit to use.

 

You’re not the only one....I live one house back from a suburban and long distance/freight railway line and have done on and off for over 25 years.
