Hi, sorry for the late reply – I have all the settings but I’m in Australia!

Let me know if you want them and I’ll forward them on.

Cheers

Hi Fellas, after 40 years of being mesmerised by the live steam loco's on the track in my local park I have finally decided to get set up and build one. I am a amateur engineer and would like my 1st large scale project to be a Black5. For those of you in the know is this a suitable project for a 1st time large loco. I have basic engineering skills and the majority of equipment. Am I thinking too big for a 1^st loco build?

Certainly a big build, right in at the deep end. Which gauge did you have in mind?
