Hello all, i've been working on this project over here in Ireland for my new garden railroad and want to see what the community thought. It's not a roundhouse, but I sure had fun kit bashing the engine. Anyone recognize it?
Regards,
Josh

Is it a "Thomas" painted black? I sure wish my truck had a machine gun for the passenger seat.

I wish I could get the mrs. to authorize a roundhouse but for £100 this bachman "percy", has given me a great deal of enjoyment. I do have a mamod engine kit waiting to be built and I look forward to the live steam aspect of garden railroading.

Hello there, the jeeps are made by solido but the company is now out of business. Hop on ebay and plug in "1/18 jeep". There is an sas jeep made by solido there now, but it's £100. You will see other versions, laura and hardy, UT and there's a chinese company(s) who have reused the casting dies. These aren't sas models but you can kitbash them to resemble one.
Good luck,
Josh
