Roy Wood models Janet

but at least it didn't put you right off looking at your great videos.

Oh you flatterer

Actually it did for a while! I actually swapped the whole set-up for some 00 gauge stuff to add to the layout I had at the time.
Back then the only mainstream magazine coverage was a once a year "Summer Special" edition of Railway Modeller and there was virtually NO internet
I didn't know anyone in the hobby so ploughed a very lonely furrow.
The thing is, this Garden Railway malarky is so addictive that it should carry a government health warning! Once ensnared, most people find they have a marvelous (and very engrossing in several fields - modelling / electronics / gardening etc) pastime for life

Well thank you all, I didn't think I would get so many reply's and so much help, yes a lot of it would come down to cost but I can go out and buy a roundhouse or a accucraft but I was interested in what people thought of this little loco.

Some of you have sent pm's to me with information and that has been good, some of you said have a look at Regner locos and I have had a look at the willi and the max as I do like the look of these de winton / coffee pot types.

thank you all
