That's the new diesel loco from Mamod let us know what you think as I like this loco and could be tempted to purchase.

Tom I saw the receipt but will let you know tomorrow.

Santa this year is bringing me two wagons from IP Engineering from the ezee range and my lovely wife has bought me a mamod mklll loco.

Nice start to a new railway layout.

The colour of the coach livery is really nice and santa should be happy also.

Im looking at the Roundhouse 0-4-0 Diesel chassis kit from dream steam but I want to know do you need to make the diesel loco body or can you buy them to fit the chassis. Any advice would be greatly accepted.

Hi Rod thanks for your reply they do look straight forward to build.

Thanks markoteal for the update I will be waiting patiently to see the program.

Lovely pictures Grant I do love the fellas cleaning up in the workshop.

Jim I'm looking forward to seeing the electrics fitted and working mate.
