Modelling Minnipa - Just for Fun

These are the ones that really shouldn't be on the layout. These are in the rolling stock stable because, as a modeller, I can do what I like! Most were carried forward from an earlier modelling project, while others are 'just for fun'. Of course none of these are used in serious operating sessions!
