I couldn't agree more. I don't wish to criticize those who do try to be as accurate to a prototype as possible, but I am not one of those people. My tastes range more towards the generic engines and rolling stock, for one because fretting over scale accuracy makes me feel bored, and also because I f...

not sure. they have always made stock over scale Hmmmmn! IP made some Ffesty rolling stock overscale to try to match the over wide Roundhouse Taliesin – and got pilloried for it. They do not 'always' make stuff overscale. In the case of the quarryman's coach, the dimensions of the IP model were tak...

Much better :) It still sounds a little off in reverse but in forward almost perfect. Actually it sounds great. I wasn't sure about chuff pipes at first but now I highly approve of them. Now when I watch videos of engines without chuff pipes I feel like there is something wrong with the sound. You s...

I for one would like to see a photograph of this engine. Also around the web there are some discussions about burner building, it looks like it's tricky to get right but building one isn't necessarily difficult. maybe some kind of extra long radiant burner would work or perhaps some baffling in the ...

Hey, there it is. Thanks Shane. You're right about building the engine, the instructions are well-written, and the parts fit together very precisely, so it's probably the kind of project anyone could do, but still complicated enough that there is a major sense of accomplishment to it. I would recomm...

Billy lives
I made this video of my new Roundhouse Billy which I made from a kit (You can see pictures o it being built in "projects") It took me several months but I am pleased with how it turned out. The video is terrible but I was running the engine in the basement. There is noise from the furnace ...

Roundhouse: How much will these things pull?
Just wondering if anyone knows just how much a Roundhouse engine or one of similar size/boiler pressure will pull? My friend has a Mercer traction engine and has "youtubed" a video of it pulling his five year old daughter around on a little wagon. Yesterday I had my "Billy" set u...

I can't help you identify it, but I thought you would like to know that I spent 10 seconds or so looking at it trying to decide if it was real, or a model. Finally I realised it was sitting on brass rails with plastic sleepers, but that is an excellent photograph and a really good model, whatever it...
