I would never say never.  Seen a few models come out of the USSR days of Russia but not really seen till a few years after the collapse of the USSR.  

Actually, Russian toys and models were very well-known in the West long before the collapse of the USSR.

There have been a few tour groups over to NK to ride behind their steam but nothing recently.

There was a train that ran between South and North Korea which was nothing but a showpiece that didn't move much (if any) goods, according to that article. It might still be running, but I couldn't find any current info on it.

There's also a rail crossing between the two countries with passenger service:

The rail network is extensive, something I already knew from my Army days and studying the logistics of their national capabilities. They also have a dual gauge line running into Russia, too, at the one border crossing between those two countries, called the Khasan–Tumangang shuttle...

You left out Australia unless we are in the "etc,etc", which is nothing unusual when you live at the bottom of the world in the middle of nowhere and still have your mail delivered by stagecoach,and have some nice deadly tiger snakes to welcome visitors,DSC08097DSC08098 then again we like a bit of anonymity so we can get on with our modelling. You have a good Christmas mate. Roo. (Nev)

You never upset a snake in a remote area if you get bitten your in trouble big time. This one was lazy that day and just wanted to get away from me. I had boots and heavy gaiters on, I'm no hero. There is a great walk where I was along an old timber railway formation unfortunately it also runs parallel to a creek and that's where you see a few snakes waiting for a nice fat frog. Roo.
