The problem with Railcars is that they just go around on their own, you dont get the nice little train of rollingstock behind them snaking around the corners and the swoosh of their wheels on the rails.

If you can afford one, then why didn't you just get an 'Edrig' Jim?

I can't at the moment...but i have been tempted in the past.

I think I will go for a Regner Konrad over and Edrig when the WLR is in need of more locos

A Katie, nice! Will be interesting to see the build. I really like the look of the Linda.

As Will and Andy know, my dream locomotive is a coal fired Linda (with lining from lightline). But you never know what will come for xmas (probs not a coal Linda if your thinking that!!!).

ah brilliant! I thought it looked a bit odd for a single screen! If you have train sim, must be good...
