Hi Everybody.

I am considering a move into 5 inch gauge steam.

Preferably something narrow gauge style such as a sweet pea.

I would be interested to hear any suggestions anybody has.

Hello Philip

Sorry for the late welcome. Sweet Pea is a very popular design because it is reliable and has a simple boiler.
