Caradoc! The way you treat your locos there will be nothing left of a finescale hunslet after a month or two.

What you could do is what ptlrcecil did to get his locos. Get a paper round, get £10 a week, save it all up, and at the end of 2 years, you'll have 1k in the bank.

I'd have saved up for the Hunslet, because you already have 2 accucrafts (same running gear etc) and ones an Edrig (and I wudnt want 2), but hey, if u want another, go for it!

One (Caradoc) belongs to Cecil, the other (Primrose) belongs to PTLRjan.

Sounds good.

I've just looked up finescale on gogle image search, and i've changed my mind. I want a 0-4-0 Pecket saddle tank.
