Caradoc! The way you treat your locos there will be nothing left of a finescale hunslet after a month or two.

Well, I've seen finescale locos, and they look brilliant! I'd get one, but I already have the money.

What you could do is what ptlrcecil did to get his locos. Get a paper round, get £10 a week, save it all up, and at the end of 2 years, you'll have 1k in the bank.

I'd have saved up for the Hunslet, because you already have 2 accucrafts (same running gear etc) and ones an Edrig (and I wudnt want 2), but hey, if u want another, go for it!

One (Caradoc) belongs to Cecil, the other (Primrose) belongs to PTLRjan.

Are you getting one with or without a cab.

If i was getting one, I'd get one in dark green with a cab.
