Start small, think big, that's what I'm doing. Your best off getting an I.P RailCar kit while you're over here. Then save up for somthing bigger, then let it grow even bigger. Don't ever go straight to coal firing, I hear that it's even harder than the real thing!

Columbine was my 3rd loco (after my IP Railcar) and very pleased with it too! After my modification to it.

But for now, I think I'm going to try and stay away from Mamods now, because my railway will be a bit too demanding for them.

Wow Graham! That's bloody brilliant! Now, you need to construct a small station next to the pond where the sidings are!
