Finally got around to the second coach a couple of weeks ago, so now 2 are built with a shortened wheelbase, I will be adding metal wheels when I find some.

And here is an Andel loco and coach made last year

I like Andel kits, making 3 at present purchased at Llanfair, only 2 main problems for me, far too light, I've added 300gr of lead flashing and the wheelbase is far too long, so I've shortened that as I run R2's with a few R1's, here is the first to be finished, at £25 a kit its great value and look...

For my next Loco I fancy one of these as I love the Talyllyn and one of these would be a great reminder of the line. They all look very similar but what's the main differences and any major pros and cons for the different models, over to you folks for some welcome advice.

Excellent photos, second to NG railways, astronomy is my next hobby (if you exclude real ale ;-)), I'm lucky , like you , to have a dark site, milky way viewable on a clear night, keep up the good work!!
