hmmm, I think I am going to leave it, as a am already getting 2 15 year old mamod locos that have never been ran for £100 each, and I selling one on, so I am just going to do quite a bit of mods to the new one im getting.

I think 2 Mamods is enough

(for me anyway, they're my pet hate

!), and Derek Goodall, as Graham said, didn't mod MSS I believe, as he stopped doing them before MSS was 'born'. So it would be just a MSS with the bits bolted on. I'd keep your money for something better, like the track for your railway etc, rolling stock and that, or even, an IP Jane/PPS Janet for that price if you find one - but if your lines going to be graded as you mentioned, you aren't going to have much fun with that type of loco.

Lovely looking thing. Buy it!

yeah, I'm going to leave it, it just came to mind that I may be able to do something with it, but I've just got Edrig, and I'm getting another mamod, so my parents will start to get a bit annoyed that I'm suddenly getting loads of stuff for the garden!

Just cus it looks "good" doesn't mean its a good loco

Yeah, save your sovs and get something else like track or stock... I thought you were building a railway!

well, I am this Christmas hols, as I have 4 weeks off!

Over half term when I was meant to be doing it, the parents decided that they wanted to be over in York for all of it!

So now I've gone on strike, and inbetween AS level work and free time, I'll be down in all weather building it!

(The only problem at the moment is that the grounds still saturated so part of it is still a lake, perfect oppertunity for a viaduct!
