Being a literal-minded sort, I did a quick google search under: '1986 Singapore train coin', and came up with:
There was a 5oz coin of the same design issued with a mintage of 650. There are a couple on eBay at present.
So far as the 1oz issue is concerned, there was a little snippet on the Coin Talk website a few years ago, posted by someone who found the coin in a job lot from Provident Metals:.
"I found this 1986 Singapore Double Dragon Malaysia Train commemorative 1 ounce silver round in the mix of other various silver rounds. From what I was able to find on google, only 800-1500 were minted. I saw several listings in the $150 range, so I wanted to see if this was worth anything." (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1986-singapore-double-dragon.184338/). There weren't many replies, and none were really informative.
Also, one was reported as sold on eBay by Worthpoint, where the coin was described as having a mintage of 1500.
So it looks as though you could have a very nice piece of silver there @AVG

Thank you for the info on this coin I only saw the 5 0z one on e-bay. I don't use e-bay anymore sold and bought many things years ago

Pleased to help @AVG . I don't sell on eBay but I do buy. There are some rounds I can't get anywhere else and I have a handful of dealers that I trust. However, eBay is a very good source of information as the descriptions can give a lot of detail and the picture show lots of detail too, especially when using the magnifier.
