Yeah, but unless you've got a very powerful Edrig, don't get the Garden Railway Centre versions. They're very heavy, as ptlrcecil will tell you.

Hence the word Accucraft! Caradoc has the same power as an Edrig, should pull 3 GRS ones. Presumably you're not hoping to run these around either of your currect railways Andy?

They are very heavy.
It doesnt stop Caradoc pulling 5 of them though.
