How about dragging up my old thread?
I didn't ever buy a loco. The plan as was last year to spend about 1k on a simple loco with remote control. For that price though, I'm happy to give up reverse from the remote. As I figure without a slowmo fitted, it's not like I'm shunting anyway!
I'm going to the garden railway show in June.. So fingers crossed!
First Steam Loco
Re: First Steam Loco
I’d second the previous reply about looking at a kit loco, cheaper, can be done in stages to spread the cost, and you’ll learn a lot about how it works in the process so repairs or modifications in the future will be much easier. Also the roundhouse range are really quite straightforward to build!
Re: First Steam Loco
I do agree.. Maybe for my second live steam loco . I'd like to get something running quickly, then I can take my time with the next one.
