Wow
Why is it that people on this forum all seem to be diversifying into a larger scale - except any of the NWAG contingent
A lovely loco there Graham, look forward to seeing some more pics, and maybe a video of it running

A really nice price !.... I could wish you happy steaming, Graham, but I don't think that is necessary, I reckon your smile will be going from ear to ear

you lucky chap!
Certainly got a good buy there.
I'm not a fan of american style loco, but i drove one a few weeks ago, and found it was great fun to drive.

Looks good, I see it's been made the easy way and he hasn't spent ages machineing the expansion link so it's nice a curvy. The detailing on the caboose is superb you'll have to make some flat cars to go with it.
