Still not something I have got into are the locos - too immersed in stationaries and 1950s English stuff . . .
They are nice though!

You need to get yourself a loco Mike.
Here are two running together...
Watch out for the new MSS ones, I had two dodgy ones before giving up and getting my money back.

I have several on my watch list on ebay at the moment, but they seem to be fetching rather a lot of money at the moment. I got lucky on one which was advertised as collect only. Luckily for me it wasn't far away and I think that put others off bidding.

They had been converted from 0 to gauge 1. Aulthough i use gauge 1 the frames had been brought out to gauge on aswell using a new reverse block. I wanted to revert to normal spacing but they shafts on the wheels had been machined in such a way that it was stepped and got bigger in the middle. Would have also had to make some bushes and put the pins in tighter. Not worth it in my opinion
