Its alright i supose.
but i dont like the 7/8ths style.
I cant seem to find the perfect coal fired loco.
DJB emma- nice, but way overscale
DJB fowler- very nice, but expensive
sabre anette- i dont like lady annes
sabre anabele- 7/8ths
TME- perfect! but an unholy amount of money
DJB Robert- Looks prefect! very attractive, oh wait its a kit :x
Cant there be a rtr, or simple kit, that doesnt use r/h wals valve gear (its really boring), is an attractive little tank loco, but has plenty of nice detail.
ohhh i am fussy about poo poo
but i dont like the 7/8ths style.

I have to say it is nice but it isn't my ideal loco, I much prefer the Lady Annette!

Personally, my ideal coal fired loco L&B 2-6-2, or a quarry husnlet in the style Covertcoat is now.

Cooor, a coal fired jack wouldn't go amiss, how much do the conversions cost?

No conversions, but a new one is under £3000 IIRC.Mr. Bond of the DVLR wrote:Cooor, a coal fired jack wouldn't go amiss, how much do the conversions cost?
The Jack in my avatar is coal-fired, with a Fowler tender. It carries water in the tender and the saddle tank.

Surely if you're supposidly capable of converting your Edrig to coal, then building a Robert won't be too much trouble?andysleigh wrote:Its alright i supose.

Robert seems to be quite a competitive price for a lovely looking locomotive.
