What do you want to build? Which ‘locomotive’?

Where are you located?

Plans: For start -> See Sarik Hobbies advert’ located in column to right of this posting (on my page at least).

Have a look at Reeves 2000 web site, https://www.ajreeves.com You will be spoilt for choice. The real problem becomes which one to build. Some designs are better than others.

Hi, there are a few places to get locomotive plans and castings; Reeves 2000, Blackgates Engineering, Kennions, which is part of EKP Supplies, are some of the well known ones. Tee Publishing, have a number of books on building some railway stuff.

Regards Nick.
