A very popular starting point for Live Steam. With their low cost comes a number of problems which can be discussed here

Hello there!
I tried to find a few online shops who sell MSS steam locos.
I only found two but I don't like them...
Could you help me? Thanks by advance.

My search returns absolutely no result.
So the MSS loco will never be on my wish list.

If they aren't advertised on their website try emailing them.

If they want your business they'll email back I'm sure.

Some of them don't !
Others refused to sell G scale loco...

No problem at all. I can also buy Mamod, RWM or Roundhouse steam locos.

Ah, you did not say Gauge 1/45mm which does trim down the retailers list somewhat.
I assume you have already dismissed Dream Steam & Chasteam, as they both stock 45mm MSS's.
Not everyone replies to e-mails the same day. When I contacted MSS to get a missing page from the kit instructions (I had 2 copies of the same page in an unbuilt kit I won on eBay) I sent the e-mail request on a Saturday and they replied attaching the missing page on the following Wednesday.
There are plenty of 32mm Mamod/MSS's on eBay at present which can be converted to 45mm with the MSS conversion kit at £19:99, and there is even one 45mm modified Mamod on eBay as well. Keep your eye out for an unbuilt Mamod SL1K kit as they came with both wheelsets.
Chris Cairns.

Thanks Chris.
But I'm now looking for a RWM Janet or a Roundhouse Millie.
MSS is not and will never be on my list.

Right now the game is over.
I found a few real and friendly online shops.
Oops... they don't sell MSS
