3 forum posts | Hi there, New to this but not entirely uneducated and I can find out/research plenty on how to do stuff and I'm not afraid to ask! I'm currently about to build a Stuart S50 and probably another one or two of their kits.
Looking a bit further ahead I fancy machining/building a live stream locomotive and It seems like a good choice would be the 3.5" guage Rob Roy 0-6-0 and the cast/cut parts from Blackgates Engineering. Are there any other interesting alternatives before I start buying the plans and stockpiling parts and materials?
I've ordered the Rob Roy and William book that's available and look forward to reading that . Thanks ion advance James |
