Re: New Roundhouse
Going by the last couple of releases I think we can safely say its not going to be a freelance loco, they seem to have gone as far as they can go with those, except maybe for a modernised Dylan

Re: An interesting find
Exquisite, at a scale of 1 1/16" to the foot, does that make it 7 1/4" gauge? I adore broad gauge and this loco perfectly exemplifies why
