Yeah, but unless you've got a very powerful Edrig, don't get the Garden Railway Centre versions. They're very heavy, as ptlrcecil will tell you.
Garden Railways-best hobby in the world.

Hence the word Accucraft! Caradoc has the same power as an Edrig, should pull 3 GRS ones. Presumably you're not hoping to run these around either of your currect railways Andy?

Have a look at IP engineering, they do several nice coaches with some Ffestiniog inspired coaches comming soon.

"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."
